| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @rockysantoro you mean like all the hard rock lyrics that celebrate drugs, misogyny, and hedonism? I assume you don't listen to them either. Dude, stay out of the conversation until you know the subject. | |
| Klipsch Jubilee & Klipschorn Experience They sound wonderful, but I really couldn't get past the background chatter, especially during Vivaldi | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" However, I can kind of see where he's coming from. Yes, there are only 12 notes in the scale, but how we envision those 12 notes and what we find to be pleasing to the ear and acceptable as a paradigm it's completely based on our Western upbringin... | |
| Some more modern jazz piano trios The Bad plus is certainly an awe inspiring, high energy trio. And like I wrote in the original post, Triosence is getting a lot of streaming and vinyl play on my system the past few months | |
| Some more modern jazz piano trios Yes. I mean, I'm pretty familiar with the classic trios from Evans onward. I'm looking for more 21st century trios. And thank you everyone for the suggestion so far | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL $12000 for a streamer? No thanks. I'll spend that money on concerts and media. | |
| Advice for an aspiring musician Ableton Live is good to start. Once you feel like you have a hang of it, head to Pro Tools or FL Studio or Audacity. Be comfortable playing with older musicians and take their advice, especially the ones who are patient with you. Realize there’re... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with Rel 212se Subwoofer @grinnell I have a small REL sub with my de Capos, crossover set pretty high. They blend seamlessly. | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @verdantaudio Thanks for the explanation and the relationship between the three factors. That's something I'll keep in mind when/if I upgrade. @stuartk Agreed - but I also use the Oppo for streaming and I don't want to lose that. 80% streaming a... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @rpppr Not particularly. As much as I loved the Dead, I'm not beholden to what Jerry feels about a genre he plainly doesn't understand. Musicians as gifted as he have said the exact opposite. | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @jonwolfpell So true. "Circle of Steel" was a powerful imprint on my childhood - that feeling of desperate hope amidst despair and squalor. | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @parnelligq I think you're missing the point. My feelings were never hurt. This has nothing to do with me and more about presumptions, biases, and labelling of a musical genre most respondents frankly know little about. I would have done the sam... | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Rush - 2112 | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? Can’t not mention this gem! Fairport Convention - "Matty Groves" | |
| Better story teller than Edmund Fitzgerald? @akg_ca So true. Good storytelling in a perfectly romanticized Lightfootian way and a beautiful melody, too. |
