| How competitive are you with your system? @rvpiano Why do they bother responding to this thread if it didn’t occur to them at some point how others’ systems sounded. I very much doubt there’s anyone here who has never considered how others’ systems sound. I thought the whole focus... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? What matters to me is whether I'm moved by my system. I’ve had friends with far more costly rigs. They sounded very nice but didn’t actually draw me into the music any more deeply than mine. I don’t know how you can compare subjective listening... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To my fellow poets, @mahgister and @audio-b-dog , thanks for your contributions! I don't currently have anything to offer in this vein, currently but perhaps your work will inspire something... ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Very nice! I would suggest that both Aldana and Redman display both masculine and feminine aspects in their playing. @audio-b-dog Jazz musicians pretty much just need to please an audience. Seems to me Coltrane needed first to "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Even the best Jazz musicians playing Classical music typically sound just as out of place playing Classical as do Classical musicians trying to play Jazz. Well said. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for your comments on Farrell vs.Tabackin and Jazz flute. I’ve seen Tabackin just once, with the T. Akioshi - L.Tabackin Big Band in the mid 70’s at U.C.S.B. I asked because never really enjoyed Jazz flute until I heard Tabackin... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Better than Lew Tabackin???? RE: link: Harrell was on fire! @audio-b-dog You’re most welcome! I enjoyed it, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuDAVRQbwb8&list=RDnuDAVRQbwb8&start_radio=1 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Just curious, when you said "no moving jazz element" re: the Stones, did you mean it didn’t "move you" emotionally, or did you mean something else? I’d never heard of Leo Ferré, so I typed his name into Google and this was the first... | |
