| Jazz for aficionados There are Classical conductors , notably Ivan Fischer, who actually encourage their players to improvise as far as possible in Classical.His Budapest Festival Orch. is the most beloved musical group in Hungary which ,in that most musical of countr... | |
| how refined are your ears? Don't be too envious, the downside, having to come back here is a very heavy load, at least for me. | |
| how refined are your ears? We will see , Bill- just ordered the Padmore off Amazon.Having seen F-D a dozen times in person with Moore really internalized it as well. Memory is VERY powerful.I buy every recording of the Gewandaus I see not because its the worlds greatest ban... | |

| Jazz for aficionados What you do for a living is petty compared to how you make a life. Study what you love and the hell with everything else. | |
| how refined are your ears? Thanks Brownsfan.I'look into him as soon as the swelling in my head from my 110% correct predictions on Johnny Footballgoes down enough to get through the bathroom door. | |
| Taralabs cables How much is affordable ?? | |
| Rega arm vs Sumiko I doubt it, the wiring sucks and those horrible little "clips" Rega use are a major PITA. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Frogman. I'm going to trot over to the U of MN's gigantic bookstore and buy a theory text, though that will never tell me how Cater must be able to play the front and back of his string at the same time.I have done several compare and cont... | |
| Help with speaker cable under $500 for new system 12 is quite similar, just a tad less "robust" .Yes there are 3 versions, but as they all sound good not a problem. I use 9 as a reference because it seems to sound the same on any speaker. |
