| Is soundstage just a distortion? Learsfool, your answer depends on the "price" of the cartridge and the analog rig, as well as the setup; but we are assuming the set up is perfect in any case. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, this would have to be placed into a category I don't even have; "feel good music", although I could sure use it about now.I saw the musical "Ain't Misbehavin" performed locally, and I left all smiles. It's for sure Fats Waller's music had tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charles1dad, Jack Sheldon was primarily known on the West Coast; good musicians could make a living, and never leave the LA area. Yes, he had a beautiful tone.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I've been out of town for a day, but I'm going to catch up and not slight anyone's posts. Rok, your honesty is what makes your reviews so good; "you calls em like you sees em".I thought, without listening for myself, "Jazz At The Pawnshop" was one... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, as good as your reviews have been, this is the best yet. Although it's almost impossible to know who's playing what, it's all good. Ray has not played jazz this good before, nor since; he had so much soul, and he was young then.The blues, jaz... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Oscar Pettiford is the best bassist ever". Now, somebody is going to tell me, "You can't say that". Oscar Pettiford is the best bassist ever! I thought they didn't hear me the first time.When it comes to this music, my opinion is the only one tha... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Some jazz artists I've known personally, were gifted, as opposed to talented, or practiced hard. They could improvise on their chosen musical instruments and mesmerize a crowd on any given night. I decided not to name them, because I'm going to gi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Nature Boy" by Ike Quebec is an interesting version of this tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tk6dYP_uhsSince I posted "Heavy Soul" two miles back and it got missed, here it is again. I especially like Freddy Roach on organ. They knew Ike was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has anybody taken the time to listen to "Ike Quebec"? | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Wolf_Garcia, while I agree with you and Atmasphere, because that's as far as my current knowledge will go; I have to take what others have written in regard to Class D amps, into consideration before the hot Summer months. Noble100, "Class D is so... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ike Quebec is one of my favorite tenor sax men. "Heavy Soul" is my favorite cut from that album which has been in my collection for ages. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIZzHpXGEjg | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Mapman, normally, the cost and weight of an amp that generates that much power, is prohibitive. Since I've never auditioned such a powerful amp, I have no way of evaluating the effect of that much power on the audio; I'm sure it was quite differen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Shirley Horn can really get you emotionally involved in her songs, they seem like short stories of her life. I'll have to get more of her work. |
