| Tekton Impact @tekton +1 with suggestion(s) to change moniker to something else.I specifically checked this thread thinking that there was some sort of new information or update from Eric about his Tekton speakers. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Correction re: best Coltrane years. "A Love Supreme" 1965. I should've checked first. Happy Listening! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @minorl I hear you on Trane. Had the same feeling with his stuff in the latter years "Live in Seattle" (I think?). But from "Blue Train" to about '62-'63 Cotrane was superb. In a class by himself.And Miles ... I felt disrespected when he turned hi... | |
| Any one going to the new LA Audio show at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel I really wanted to make the trip to LA ... mostly to get firsthand listen to Tekton Design speakers, updated Channel Islands gear (which I own), and a couple of others. Now it's up in the air. Please post pics/impressions in case I don't make it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @frogman for clearing that up. Time to let go of the myth. I was going by past limited experience with just a few interviews that I've read. Never thought to look into it further.The piece you shared shows him giving props to pretty much ev... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the links @frogman ... good stuff indeed. I agree with what you said and how you described the differences between Morgan and Miles.I'm torn between the two great groups though. BTW, if you haven't already gotten it, check out " '58 Ses... | |
| Jazz for aficionados One more thing. It's easy to have a certain disdain/dislike for Miles the person ... the attitude, the ego, all of that. But as a musician and a contributor he has very few peers IMHO. Happy Listening! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 first, I can’t presume to speak for @frogman or @learsfool . They’ll have to weigh in themselves. But what I can say is when we look at jazz, unless we accept the premise that it encompasses more than bebop and hard bop, then there is n... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @orpheus10 thanks for Mark Masters "Blue Skylight" . Streaming it now. Great production quality. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not to re-open the debate about "best of" but I agree with @orpheus10 somewhat. That is, nobody could touch Lee Morgan. There was no better trumpet player from the hard bop era. To me, that period is synonymous with what I call "straight ahead" ja... | |
| Tekton Impact +1 There is indeed the Impact, which - according to the website - is based on the same patent as the higher level models; and that includes the Double Impact. It is $1,800 delivered, with one option. Check it out: http://www.tektondesign.com/tekto... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Mostly agree with you @orpheus10 regarding Lee Morgan. With me, it's always been a toss-up between Lee and Miles. One thing I may have noted before, in interviews where Miles gives a rundown of his trumpet contemporaries, he never had anything to ... | |
| Tekton Electron has been released Point well taken @roxy54 . I agree it's always good to have a frame of reference; and we can safely say that the reviewer's impressions may not match our own. But when he made the following observation, it really caught my attention: "The Double I... | |
| Are there any $1500 tube preamps that that can compare with Tubes4hifi's SP14? Following up @charles1dad comment, I too think a comparison between Don Sachs and Linear Tube Audio (LTA) ZOTL preamplifiers would be very interesting indeed. As a side note, the Tube Research Lab (TRL) Dude is another 6SN7-based designAfter excha... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Convinced that I would never go back to the clicks and pops of vinyl, I gave away my turntable and then let a friend stop by and "cherry pick" my album collection. He walked away with a pretty sizable stack. Thankfully he didn't care much for Lee ... |
