| What to upgrade on $3,000 budget How can an 'Upgrade' or an 'improved' anything, cause a system to sound worst?? It's just beyond my ability to understand.Cheers | |
| The Making of a Jazz Audiophile...Interesting Read Foster_9, Reference the site you posted:After reading Drummond's comment about 'Miles at the Plugged Nickel', I listened to it, and he is right, the drum work on 'So What' is really well recorded. I enjoyed the entire CD. That's why I like the mus... | |
| The Making of a Jazz Audiophile...Interesting Read Very Interesting. I am always interested in what the pros listen to. I like that they emphasized that you don't have to spend huge sums to get great sound. But of course they are music lovers and not gear heads. Their opinions mean more than those... | |

| Audiophiles and music lovers Some people just like gadgets. This was really true back in the days of tape and turntables. Lots of hands on stuff. I have known them. They used to be my main source of gear. (used)Cheers | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? Almarg,Thanks for your well written lucid explication. You have sent me back to the books. :) I am beginning to understand the downside of negative feedback. I always knew it was required to control distortion, but there seems to be a better (more... | |

| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? Actually, The last sentenced I typed was, 'Please no Tubes', but I deleted it before I posted. Dang! | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? "Could it be that this hobby has become more about art than engineering"A lot of people would like to think so. Reason being, The Mona Lisa is art, so is some guy throwing buckets of paint at a canvas in NYC. Some people feel comfortable with that... | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? Shouldn't we be influenced more by engineers, than by 'audiophiles' when it comes to electronics? That's the trouble with getting away from science. Then EVERYONE's opinion is equally valid. In the world of magic and mysticism, anything is possibl... | |
| Sixto Dias Rodriguez The reviews on Amazon are off the charts. And there are a lot of them. I think I will have to get one. The snippets sound good. | |
| 2012 Jazz cd compilation: Down Beat magazine They got me on 'Cloudbrust' also. It sounds like a choir singing notes to 'warm up' before a performance. It also changed the way I buy CDs. I get the impression that a lot of positive reviews are given as favors to the artist. This is rampant in ... | |
| Should I burn these? 5 years??? sure took you a long time to discover how bad they are. But, the speaker has been in production forever, so SOMEONE must like them, and are satisfied with them. Which is more than you can say about a lot of the 'audiophile' stuff on the... | |
| 2012 Jazz cd compilation: Down Beat magazine Mags like DownBeat are good to become aware of new releases or reissues. Then I go to Amazon. I trust the reviews on amazon the most. Pay close attention to the negative reviews and comments. Some are silly, but they will most likely be the deal b... |
