| Jazz for aficionados Mary_jo, "They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?" was a memorable movie and soundtrack. Jane Fonda was great in it. I saw it on the big screen at my college’s Little Theater in 1970 when it first came out. Here’s a small story involving Jane Fonda that ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Got the Billie Holiday complete Verve recordings box set a little bit ago after acquiring her complete Decca recordings, Columbia recordings, and the Commodore recordings disc this past year. I’d put off getting the Verve set being afraid it encom... | |
| Anyone have the Answer? There was a Shunyata video where they identified and demonstrated some sort of device they had acquired that demonstrably measured line interference both before and after they used their line noise reduction equipment on a circuit. It shouldn’t be... | |
| Re-terminate speaker cables I had a similar problem to yours a year or so ago and wrote in. My Audioquest Rocket 88's were banana plug biwires and my then new Magico A3 speakers cannot be bi-wired. The A3's speaker wire terminals could accept either a spade and/or a banana ... | |
| members and their systems Birdscantrow, that's a good question about where some site members get the money to be purchasing this high end "stuff" when it takes most of us all we have to deal with normal living expenses and bills. Like you, I wished for ages when younger to... | |
| Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die? Kiwms, so sorry to hear of your loss. It has to have been devastating for you, and understandably overwhelming to have to deal with your spouses belongings in the aftermath. When you feel ready you could start a thread here on Audiogon asking for... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Deadhead the one time I saw Van was in 1970 at my college. He was drunk off his butt, but still managed to put on a pretty decent show. His material was pretty new to him at the time, so he apparently hadn’t gotten jaded yet. He was living nearby ... | |
| Worst Concerts You Have Attended ?? Mostly the worst concert, and momentarily the best ever, was Frank Zappa playing SUNY at New Paltz in the early ’70’s. He had a really great band at the time. I think I recall George Duke, Flo and Eddie from the Turtles, Jean Luc Ponty maybe, and ... | |
| Building a house If you're married have your better half sign off on absolutely everything you are going to do beforehand. My mistake was getting her to sign off on this being my room alone to do with what I wanted. Thirty years later complaints were still coming ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw81563, that’s an impressive collection of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers you have. I’ve been a bit leery about more seriously collecting him just because of the sheer volume of recordings he’s made. I’ve not acquired Shorter’s Emanon yet al... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, I do understand and forgive you for your indiscretion.Along these lines, I went to the doctor yesterday for my annual physical. She mentioned at the beginning of the session I should remember three words, "apple, penny and watch". I repea... | |
| Magico Customer service Incognito guy, for you to suggest a Magico guy associate with someone having free tweeters in their speakers is impertinent. | |
| Magico Customer service I’ve had a number of correspondences with one of Magico’s vice presidents, both before and after purchasing their A3’s. He was always prompt, helpful, and forthcoming. I wish I could tell you his name, but after transferring all my files to my new... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, you’ve got to have me confused with someone else. I purchased my first jazz album some fifty years ago after hearing " A Love Supreme" the first time. I’ve loved jazz ever since, but did take about a thirty year break from collecting when... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I’ll be looking at "Big Beat" ,"Mosaic" , "Moanin" and the others you mention. Thanks.Pjw81563, that Veejay 3-fer has some excellent Shorter as bandleader on it. I got it about a month or so ago and was quite pleased. I’ll look up the "In... |
