| Jazz for aficionados Everyone is so glad to have you back Mary_jo, you're making our Valentine Day complete.I liked Anita and Frank Sinatra best. To be honest, my thoughts and emotions on Grant Green are too personal, plus they would take up a whole page.I listened t... | |
| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" Nothing can ever beat anything from Woodstock for those who were in a "Woodstock frame of mind" at that time. Since I'm one of those individuals, I simply shove that comparison aside.This is Santana's best ever; it has the maturity and vision tha... | |
| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? Noromance, I just thought of something really funny. This rich customer was trying to put a system together, and since he saw me quite often, he thought I worked there, plus I was always free, so he requested that I help him audition equipment. W... | |
| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? Baskin Robins makes ice cream in 31 flavors, all extremely high quality, the highest I've ever tasted.Class "A" comes in just as many flavors, so does class "B"; therefore in no way is one restricted in regard to flavor; however, one might be rest... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I know youse guys wont believe this but "So What". I was sitting in my listening chair dozing off when the tune "Somthin Else" popped on. (I listen the same as someone listens to the radio, I turn the rig on and music starts playing from my play... | |

| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? The foundation of "Stereophile" rests on the "validity" of those ratings. Income comes from advertising. People advertise so that they can sell equipment. Consumers all over the world check Stereophile ratings before they purchase. If consumer... | |
| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? Geoffkait, those opinions were formed without one ounce of research. Since "high end salons" no longer exist, research comparing Stereophiles conclusions and actually auditioning the equipment for yourself is almost impossible. | |
| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? Ishkabibil, I discovered the high end in 1990, when I walked into a high end salon, and my life changed dramatically after that.I spent so much time in "high end salons" that my wife swore I was seeing another woman. I had to verify for myself, t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Lyle Mays and Pat Metheney were like Peanut butter and jelly; bacon and eggs; you can't have one without the other. While not "mainstream jazz" their music to me is like the Missouri landscape after you leave the metropolitan area, it's wide open... | |
| Jazz for aficionados This is in honor of Lyle Mays; I saw him and the Pat Metheney Group on the Admiral Riverboat in St. Louis about this time, they were fantastic, this is my favorite tune by him; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4jIbLYE3gQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Sideman, (Jazz) a member of a band or a jazz group other than the leader. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pryso, evidently my words failed me because I would never convey what you stated; however, the music links I posted spoke for me; they are as different as night and day, yet both are titled "Autumn Leaves". I believed they conveyed my thoughts wit... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have no idea what it is about certain records, but I prefer "Bird" records to CD’s; maybe it is because that’s the way I originally heard them; even the record noise seems so appropriate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcEN21wTy64&list=PLc... |
