| Analog playback on computer. Inna, the proper word was "analogous", not similar to that used on "Star Trek"; a big difference, but I couldn't spell analogous at the time, and used a word that I thought was "similar". There is a world of difference between the two in my expla... | |
| Analog playback on computer. Inna, I've got a tweaked out rig that includes things like: Incognito Tone Arm Rewire, "Deluxe Groove Tracer Subplatter", and other stuff,plus Grado Sonata cartridge, perfectly installed.I recorded before and after the improvements; therefore I wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, maybe you could help me with my review. "Freelight" was the last album I posted, it was recorded in 1971. We can go forward from there, and you select what you think is worth posting.This is discography from Wikipedia1971: Freeflight (Impul... | |
| Jazz for aficionados With Ahmad Jamal, you can decide which aspect of his piano you like best; light and whimsical, or really banging, and go with that.Right now I'm listening to "Poinciana", from the album "Freeflight", and it's interestingly different; so different,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Without a doubt, this is the best way to proceed. I'm learning things that I thought I knew by each artist that we review.The bottom line function of this thread is to add the very best music to our collection. Once upon a time I thought new mus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, you're one of the regulars, you could never overstay your welcome.Remember back when I said getting this thread to go in a straight line was like herding cats; one cat wants to review every single record by Ahmad Jamal, and another cat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, the suit totally eludes me, I'll let somebody else take that one.Bass – John Hurd*Drums – Frank GantEngineer – Neil BrodyGuitar – Calvin KeysKeyboards – Ahmad JamalPercussion – Selden Newton*I noticed he's sticking with Frank Gant on drums;... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I listened to "Stolen Moments" which is a tune I'm familiar with, and Ahmad really captures the beauty of that tune. Every familiar tune that I like, I like it even better the way he does it. It's amazing how much music he gets out of bass, drum... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I distinctly remember Schubert say he was slipping. The reason I mention this is because I'm only a few years younger than Schubert, and it's better for a person to recognize that he is slipping, than not recognize it; I hope I recogn... | |
| Vintage Dual 1228 Turntable : worth to upgrade cartridge ? Analog is a case of run with the big dogs or stay at home. It will cost you a minimum of 3K to get into the ball park being discussed here most of the time, and that's just beginning.If you just want to occasionally hear some of your old records,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, you can apologize to the KJ fans for me as well, my listening, and his playing never got in sync. As far as I'm concerned, it's good to be polite, but it's not necessary to go in depth in regard to why you could live without an artist... | |
| Analog playback on computer. Uberdine, and every one else who responded, I know nothing about computers, but I got a "Geek" who knows everything. When I ask him a question, he gives me that look which says "You wouldn't even know after I told you". Back when Stereophile was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahmad Jamal "The Awakening" is the album I'm reviewing today. Ghosthouse, I believe you are already familiar with this album; since it has such a high rating, I'm reviewing it for the rest of the aficionados.According to "Sputnic Music", review b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, I saw him live in Chicago, and he really cooked, I mean he doesn't always play with space; he can play a lot of notes when he wants to. If you think about it, his music in your listening room could be quite entertaining, but almost bo... | |
| Analog playback on computer. Ahendler and dtc, I want to thank both of you for responding. At one time, it was argued that somehow computer playback couldn't be as good as analog, but I'm glad both you guys got the same result, and there is no difference on playback.My compu... |
