| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Inna, although you mentioned Al Di Meola, you didn't go into your opinion of him as a jazz guitarist; I'm curious? | |
| The downward spiral..... Believe it or not, some male vocalists sound better on "Lo Fi", than on "high end" | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Isochronism, the truth be told; almost every guitarist mentioned is one of my favorites. My very first LP featured Jim Hall with the "Chico Hamilton Trio". Lee Ritenour might be my favorite when I get back from the record store. | |
| The downward spiral..... 57s4me, your answer has the ring of a professional musician. No professional musician I ever knew personally, was an audiophile. They could hear things on a common rig, many audiophile's wouldn't hear on the best rigs. (nothing to do with the abil... | |

| PC Rules Imagine if you will, a square wave, as opposed to music on the record. My rig will slightly round off the corners, while a much more expensive rig would do a better job. This square goes to the 1st stage of the interface where it is reproduced as ... | |
| PC Rules In regard to audio, PC is 100% unlimited; the only limitations are the input and output audio devices. | |
| Reel to Reel decks I had an Akai, and parts were hard to get in the 70's. | |
| PC Rules As a result of Onhwy61's comment, I went "phono in" on the interface. After encountering a "hum" problem that required a complete disassembly and new modification, I'm back."Santana Abraxas" is the test record. I bought this record in 1971, this i... |
