| Jazz for aficionados Like wine, jazz has it's better years, and 62 was most certainly one of them, and by one of the masters of that form of musical communication. "Jazz Jazz" was still in vogue in 62, consequently, that master's musical language reaches me on a deep... | |
| Jazz for aficionados How about "Me and Mrs. Jones"; I didn't just listen to the songs of the 70's, I lived the songs of the 70's, and was it fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2v98PGBZH4Enjoy the music. | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Let me make some things explicitly clear; while the words "haunting" and "haunted" can be ambiguous, whatever these words mean to you in any given situation is appropriate, especially in music, it can pertain to past or present.This is music Mapma... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Until now, I thought I was the only guy who married the wrong women the first time; all my clothes covered the front lawn. Men will never figure out why women do the things they do.Enjoy your new collections. | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? "Last Train Home" is a beautiful and haunting tune, plus those steam locomotives remind me of my childhood when we lived close to tracks, and the engines were those really huge steam engines that would shake the whole house.So many different kind ... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 My comments went far beyond "audiophilia"; they went to the heart of this present day "Democracy", that's not a democracy, but everyone believes what they desire to believe; hence "Santa Claus" and The Easter Bunny.Maybe this will enlighten some o... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 The richest have the talent to be born that way.When I was in real estate I came in contact with quite a few wealthy people, but none as wealthy as the 1%, and none who were audiophiles, and even if they were, I guarantee none of them would pay 10... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 "I have no problem with extreme wealth, except with how it is corrupting our democracy."Dave, that's where I was coming from, and I apologize to "audiophiles" for getting so far off track. My thoughts are not about one 100K amp, but about this su... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 Dave, I know exactly where you are coming from, and I both agree and understand your point; top of the line has always been what most can not afford, but what I'm speaking of goes way past that.bdp24, you and Dave both have valid points of view; b... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 Dave I wasn't speaking of the rich, but the 1% who run this country because that's who the politicians work for, both Democrat and Republican. There is absolutely nothing imaginary about that.Although I fully realize this is not the place for suc... | |
| Boulder monoblock 2150 It's a funny thing about "Audiophiles", they are so obsessed over their hobby, that they are totally unaware of anything else going on. Before now, the wealthiest audiophiles seemed to be in the "upper middle class", Doctors, Lawyers... and other... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I have that one; I recall that's the way he sounded at the clubs, and on the juke box in the late 50's and very early 60's. He is one of the very few artists that you can't go wrong with; at the moment I can't think who the other one is; the... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, that is one fantastic album that I don't think I have, but must have it."Paul Quinichette" is someone we haven't discussed enough. I remember a long time ago, I was kind of on the outside of a conversation between The Big Boys; "Heavy jazz a... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dave, I don't know what I would do without your help, I am in completely foreign territory. Now, each record is different; some are perfect, and some not so perfect; this is before I've added any diffusion. Today, a phono amp is coming, so I will... | |
