| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? Or get Gal Costa on CD, "Live at the Blue Note". Terrific voice, especially once she gets warmed up/relaxed. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Marcin Wasilewski Trio, "Faithful", on ECM. Wonderful spacious and melodic jazz trio (piano, double-bass, drums). Great talents and musicianship (of course, its on ECM). If you enjoy any of the Keith Jarrett trio work, you'll love this recording (... | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se Clio99 - yes, "factory" set. (referring to Dr. Peppard as a factory has me chuckling ;^) Do not know if Face is correct as I've never opened it up - might be. You might consider emailing Dr. Peppard if you have any design questions - he is very he... | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se After speaking with Dr. Peppard and letting him know the output specs of my input devices he suggested 10db for my CDP and DVD player, and 18db for my cassette player, IIRC. This way, the master volume knob hovers near the middle of its travel for... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Yes, do bother. Just don't get crazy with the volume. You don't want to know it's there when on, but miss it when it is off. And don't be afraid to move it around the room a bit for optimal sound. | |
| don allen gen II pre amp vs. Maple tree 4se When I was shopping for a pre amp I considered each of these mentioned thus far and ended up with the Mapletree. I never heard the others to compare. But I am thrilled to own the Mapletree. Simple circuit, point-to-point wiring, takes less expensi... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Edorr - OMG! Is that Masabumi groaning al la Jarrett? I listened to some samples and while "Tethered Moon: First Meeting" sounds very promising (and very ECM), I am reluctant to add yet another Tourette's moaner/groaner to my cache. Anouar Brahem ... | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? It has taken me six years of effort to cludge my system together to the point of complete satisfaction. (I still wish to install dedicated lines but that is for completeness rather than seeking out audio improvement.) During the journey, never hav... | |
| Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill? I listen on average once per week for a few/several hours. So don't know, don't care, as long as the music sounds awesome, which is it does. That is all I care about. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Bloomfield! | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Frogman, after clarification I agree with your comments completely. For me also it is not good when a musician loses focus. Once they wander into naval gazing noodlery or simply just get lost, they lose my attention completely and I'll avoid that ... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Addendum - In place of following the "tune", I do prefer jazz which at least follows a groove. I do not enjoy "free jazz", music with no structure at all, when there is nothing to follow. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett one of the basic tenets ... but can one still folllow the tuneI respectfully disagree with this statement. I think it is perfectly acceptable to stretch out far beyond the tune, even to completely obliterate it, as long as one does come back to it... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... Will someone please explain how Sgt. Pepper "altered the direction of a music genre"? What did we get after SP that we did not have before that was directly influenced by SP? I was alive and listening to music back then, but apparently unaware of ... | |
