| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? In Ken Burn's "Jazz" Wynton Marsalis was quite articulate on the subject. The edge is jazz's basis in the blues. Mr. Marsalis was referring to Louis Armstrong, a man who smiled and jived on stage, but in real life carried switchblade which he was ... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? No, I did not say that. At least you've finally admitted to the true condition of your ears. Fortunately for you it's not too late in the season for a little Scott's Stage 1 to kill the weeds and some Miracle-Gro to start some serious cultivating ... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? It's clearly too late to save Dracule 1, but if my rantings can prevent just a single young audiophile out there from having to hear "Jazz...", then my life has served some purpose."See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancin' Queen" - now... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? You say you listen to music that makes you happy and that people enjoy "Jazz At the Pawnshop". I'll take you word on both those points. I'll readily concede that happy enjoyable music has its place, but I question whether you should call such comf... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? I didn't mean to offend, but to my highly evolved sensibilities "Jazz At the Pawnshop" is the jazz equivalent of Pat Boone's covers of Fats Domino and Little Richard's rock 'n' roll. Yes, it's that lame.There is so much well recorded great jazz av... | |
| Which SACD of Jazz at the Pawnshop sounds better? I recognize that musical taste is highly subjective, but "Jazz At the Pawnshop" is pretty lame music. In its place I would recommend the Chesky recordings of McCoy Tyner, John Faddis or Bucky Pizzarelli. All of these are great music, well recorded... | |
| Biamping from a 5 channel amp? I think you're confusing amplifier gain with rated power output. The amps in the receiver have the same gain so the difference in their rated power output is not important. At any normal listening level the tonal balance of the speaker will not be... | |
| Biamping from a 5 channel amp? Monitor Audio speakers like to be bi-wired, so as a minimum do it if you can. Bi-amping will work as long as your NAD can send an unprocessed L/R signal to the rear channel. The difference in power output between the front and rear channels will n... | |
| Bose 901 At $1,400 MSRP the 901s represent an excellent choice for any number of non-audiophile music lovers. If all you want is a speaker that fills the room with sound, is not terribly large, isn't demanding about setup, has good apparent bass and isn't ... | |
| Do higher end tuners pull in more stations The answer is #3, but only if you also invest in a quality antennae. This site will give you the low down on tuners. The site will give you what stations are available in your area. | |
| BEST 90's Audio Gear that holds its own today. With the exception of digital products, anything that was competitive in the 90s should still be quite competitive now. it's not like there have been any fundamental advances in sound reproduction in the past 15 years. A lot of worthwhile refineme... | |
| Ring fly wheel stabilizer vs none. Making music by dragging a rock at the end of a stick through a glob of semi-hard petroleum byproducts is fraught with danger. But isn't that part of the attraction? There's something special about playing a disc and knowing that the very act of p... | |
| Is Funkadelic's song "One Nation Under A Groove" I had the privilege of seeing Parliment/Funkadelics several times around the time of "One Nation..." They were tremendous musicians, outrageous showmen and the rocked as hard as any group I've ever seen. At one show at the Apollo Theater George Cl... | |
| Jungson or DK Design: good with Quad 989's? I'm going to disagree with Newbee. The Quads have outstanding dynamics. I've never heard a speaker that betters the Quad's ability to differentiate the various levels of loudness between very soft and very loud. What they don't do is go very, very... | |
| Ring fly wheel stabilizer vs none. sirspeedy, sorry for the rude tone of my early post. Nothing you said deserved that level of hostility. |
