| Dave Brubeck Orpheus10:'your astute knowledge of jazz'hahahah far from it. I have very limited knoiwledge. I just find the music and the players, esp the players, to be very interesting. And in this day, the music has to be defended against the crowd who feels... | |
| What deserves more attention on Audiogon? Almost all of the talk about gear on this site is driven by MSRP. Nothing more. If it cost more, it's better. And of course, we have the always present, knee jerk bashers of moderately priced gear. I think this limits the appeal of this site and w... | |
| Dave Brubeck "Arguing about exactly what is jazz is a dead end. If it was made after 1918 and didn't come from New Orleans, can it really be called jazz?To deny Dave Brubeck's importance in jazz history is silly.The silly thing is to say nothing after 1918 is ... | |
| Dave Brubeck "With all due respect, since when has venue ever been the measure of an artist's genius? Why in the world would playing in a concert hall ever make an artist a lesser giant than playing in a club? Were any of the classical piano virtuosos club pla... | |
| Dave Brubeck I would not call him a Jazz Giant. He was / is not in the top tier of Jazz players. And no one looked more dignified than MJQ. As I recall there was some discussion back in the day as to whether Brubeck's music was Jazz. And those that said it was... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes "I'm the biggest cable skeptic on the planet"Sorry, that title is already taken!! | |

| Where to buy CD's "I am told to stay away from certain labels due to poor cd pressing quality. I recall BMG? was one them. How does one know who pressed the CD?"Untruths started by audiophiles because BMG sold thier CDs for such a low price. And if there is one thi... | |
| Where to buy CD's I agree with Amazon. Only had one problem over the many years and that was a few weeks ago. Ordered a CD from a seller and the CD case was empty. Spotlight Media Solutions Inc. Being sorted by amazon at the present. | |
| New level of ridiculousness 'It was about the value of this particular product, as well, as the value of other high priced audio toys.'Well only a buyer can answer that question. Unless you turn to science for the answer, and then the answer is obvious and known by all.We al... | |
| New level of ridiculousness IMO it's all relative to income or disposable income. If a working class guy makes say, $60,000 a year and has speakers that cost $5,000-$10,000 per pair, then a guy that makes 10 times that income can afford speakers costing $50,000-$100,000 doll... | |
| Should I fix my plasma? When it comes to flat screen TVs, buy as cheap as you can, consistent with a good picture. I got my Panasonic 42" plasma this year, and will be surprised if it lasts five years. Great viewing experience. $398 at walmart. | |
| New level of ridiculousness I agree with you, just don't blame the snake oil pushers. They would not make it, if no one bought it. And besides, there is no FUNDAMENTAL difference between paying $8000 for a power strip and paying say.... $500 for one. I bet someone will accus... | |
| Dave Brubeck Funny you should mention Brubeck and Take Five. I attended college on a Band scholarship. The first time I heard it was my first night at college. My first night away from home. The guys in the dorm room next to mine played that LP all night. I wa... | |
| upgrade Vandersteen speakers "THE CURRENT MODEL 2CE SIG II WILL BLOW AWAY AN OLD MODEL 3, AND THE CURRENT MODEL 3A SIG WILL BLOW AWAY A CURRENT 2CE"I get his point, I think, but seems like strange language from a serious audio maker. sort of juvenile. |
