| Jazz for aficionados I was at Arts wake up in Harlem when he passed on. There were two rooms connected, one with Arts body in it and another where all the musicians were hanging out telling jokes, smoking cigarettes and networking. It made me care less whether I eve... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? And how do you suggest you go about doing this? As a musician, I can tell you how and it's not just by listening, it's by training your ears at a piano or an ear training app in most of your cases. Ya wanna be a better listener? Get Earpeggio or ... | |
| So damn hard deciding which tube preamp to buy! Simple, PrimaLuna Evolution 400 Integrated from UpscaleAudio.com. The amp is fantastic and Upscale is amazing. | |
| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? I've been making mouthpieces for saxophones going on forty years and if I had the time and energy I could tell you some unbelievable stories of the mind tricks I've played on sax players and top level ones to boot. It's funny though, I used to do... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Yes, and they're a world better than the Tektons but not great for a lot of classical music. I bought a pair of Proacs that I'm waiting to try out. | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers They're sold and the Klipsch are a big improvement but no great revelation. I bought a pair of Triacs but haven't hooked them up yet. I understand that the Tektons are better off with a solid state amp and have been told by someone with much, MU... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? I don't know about that but when I was doing research for my system I called a friend of mine who plays with them, Roger. I told him about my quest for a few minutes and proceeded to ask him what he knew about amps to which he replied "I have AirP... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Yep, that's me sometimes and on a good day. Don't we act ridiculous sometimes? Thanks Yogiboy4, you made me laugh! | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Or the scene in the beginning of "Marathon Man" when an old German guy in a Mercedes and another old Jewish guy in a big Buick are driving down a street in NYC and they start arguing and the Jewish guy starts calling the German guy a Nazi and the ... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers millercarbon9:Thou thinketh you protesteth too much. That means that you're insecure about your position. This is my last post on this subject so I'll just ask you some questions, rhetorical questions for you to contemplate.What exactly makes s... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers I can accept that but if you can show me proof of that I'd retract position and apologize to everyone here for my ignorance. | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers "Best of luck getting them both set up. I think you should become an audio reviewer in your retirement. You have a refreshing no holds barred style that’s different from all the usual *ss kissing paycheck chasers. The only problem is I don’t think... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers "Phil,Any early impressions of the Fortes? You like Em so far?"So far the Klipsch has them beat substantially but given that a really great musician/audiophile told me a couple of days ago that he loves his DI's I'm going to try to futz about with... | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers Thank you Doug, I'm beginning to think it was a setup thing too. Do they need to be far from the back wall? Maybe you'd like to earn a few bucks and help me set them up via FaceTime or Zoom. Shoot me a PM if you're so inclined. What kind of bi... |
