| Let's see or discuss your desktop speakers! Audioengine A2's hooked to Nuforce DAC via Kimber USB to my desktop at work ... decent sounding combo. | |
| Please Recommend Audiophile Solo Piano Recordings Although a couple of these have already been mentioned, they're among my favorite solo piano recordings:Jazz: Bill Evans - "The Solo Sessions, Vol. 1" (on vinyl) probably my favorite for relaxing life-like piano+1 for Herbie Hancock, PianoMichel ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, I didn't know Toots played guitar until this morning ... riding in, listening to the local jazz station. They were featuring a cut from something he did in 1953 as George Shearing side man. BTW, vibe player in that group - Cal Tjader.Ma... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, thanks for the additional information and commentary. Always grateful for your contributions and insight. This thing called jazz needs folks who are real students of the art. And you are so right ... it has special meaning to play somet... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The jazz world lost a couple more great artists. Vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson left us last week, and today I learned that harmonica player Toots Thielemans passed away.Hutcherson was one of the very first jazz musicians I experienced in a live pe... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Sherod, after seeing your post this morning I emailed Joseph and he confirmed that Vic died of a heart attack Dec. 20, 2014. I too was unaware, as my last correspondence to Victor was earlier that same month. He was always helpful and easy to work... | |

| Second audio system in your house? Thanks @vicweast ... much appreciated! | |
| Second audio system in your house? Forgot to mention the Audioquest Jitterbug USB filter in front of W3 adapter. Definitely improves streaming sound IMHO. | |
| Second audio system in your house? Yeah, I have a second system (bedroom) that gets regular use. After being unable to sell a modified Oppo 983, I took that and an old Outlaw subwoofer to build around. Added a low-cost (< $300) Yaqin Chinese tube integrated and small speakers, w... | |
| Paul Weitzel from Tube Research Labs This is indeed sad news. Paul was very generous with his knowledge and opinions about audio. My condolences go out to his brother Brian and the rest of their family. | |
| Radio stations for Jazz.... Been listening to KJAZZ Long Beach for years, but just switched to KNTU. I'm liking what's here so far. Will try some other suggestions as well. Thanks folks! | |
| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have I dunno. Went from constantly looking to tweak and upgrade to basically staying the same for the past couple of years or so ... mostly due to time/money constraints. Somewhere in the process I went from listening to my equipment to listening to mu... | |
| Donny Hathaway Thanks for the programming heads-up lynott. You can feel the emotion in his voice - especially on live recording. Like jesusa0 said ... pure genius. |
