| Rush downloads from HDTracks My experience has been, they are as good as the Master Tapes of whatever record. I replaced an old record for the music, although I knew there was nothing special in the recording, and it was as expected; lacking in dynamics and sound stage depth,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leersfool, this version of "On Green Dolphin Street" has to be my favorite. Bill Evans "intro" on piano is what sets this version off from so many others, and of course Miles and Cannonball are really beautiful as well; but it's still Bill Evans p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Isochronism, your recommendation "Angel Eyes" by Jimmy Smith is a real winner. Like good wine, he's improved with age. His ability to plumb the musical depths of these standards, plus the very skillful use of excellent sidemen, made up for the lac... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Am I the only person who finds it difficult to appreciate "solo" piano; where's the bass, where's the saxophone, where's the something besides a lone piano. No reflection on the music or the artist, but a personal observation of my perception of m... | |
| Which part of my turntable system should I upgrade As of today, June 19, 2013; I vow to never again as long as I live, post on the "Analog Forum".For me, "Audiophile" is all about sound, I get absolutely no pleasure in the tedious, has to be precise, set up of an analog rig. Yes, I enjoy the "exqu... | |
| Which part of my turntable system should I upgrade Raul is right. I was into vinyl before there was such a thing as digital. It sucked then and it sucks now, "unless" you got deep pockets and can get into very high end gear.Although no one knows analog better than Raul, he hasn't been drinking the... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, in regard to Dr. John, I like "Monkey and Baboon" better. There is only one kind of music for me, that's "good music", and Lila Downs knows how to make it.For your listening pleasure; Dr. John followed by Lila Down. http://www.youtube.com/wat... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Leersfool, you've already caused this jazz aficionado to purchase "The Film Music of Bronislaw Kaper", on solo piano. While the music is good it's not recommended for one reason only; when one person on piano has to project such a wide range of em... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you got it as soon as I hear it. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Although Conway Twitty has never been on my radar as a jazz aficionado, he sure sounds good on "Rainy Night In Georgia". Good music is undeniable, regardless of the genre, and that's very good music.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Although I heard strains of Spain, Mexico, and Cuba in the music, I find it interesting how many people like to lump them under "Latin" music, I don't. While the music originated in Spain, it took on it's own unique identity once it reached this h... | |
