| Monitor suggestions? @ donvito and rocay:Thanks for the links! | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @whart:Thanks for suggesting further avenues of exploration! | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @gosta:Of course, as long as you do not mention D. Krall or P. Barber. All references to those two will be cheerfully ignored. Call me elitist but audiophiles really need to over their tunnel vison-fixation on those two. Karin Krog is great. The o... | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @whart:Cochemea strikes me as fairly "uncategorizable" . . . don't know if it's Jazz or not. Don't know if I like it or not-- I have the sense it's something I'd need to hear several times before pronouncing judgement. I do like the Milt Ward, th... | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @gosta:That Webster is a good one -- gonna have to buy it! Although not to my tastes, I'd guess many others will enjoy the A. Cohen. Thanks for your suggestions. | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @whart:Yeah-- those "old guys" play so damned loud I had to retreat to the lobby for most of the show. Ridiculous-- they must not realize they're nearly deaf! Thanks for your contributions. | |
| Monitor suggestions? @kren0006:Got it. Thanks ! | |
| Monitor suggestions? @ozzy62 "You do realize that a small floorstander will take up no more real estate than a monitor on a stand? And give you more of what you require too."Hint: expand your thinking from two to three dimensions. @twoleftears: The title of this thr... | |
| Monitor suggestions? @rocray:I looked into Fyne before but couldn't find US dealers. @akg_ca: Most Harbeths seem more like floor-stander size on a half-height stand than typical monitors. I have severe placement restrictions due to furniture. And the room is not small... | |
| Monitor suggestions? Yes-- I already acknowledged that was expecting too much. | |
| Monitor suggestions? @ motokokusanagi:"I looked up the Vela. That’s a weirdass port solution. It’s using the bottom plane of the speaker effectively as a mini stand-cum-slotted vent....nobody else does this. And I’d be more skeptical than forgiving of if it doesn’t s... | |
| Monitor suggestions? I cannot use floor-standers due to furniture in living room.Zu Druids might work but I do not have the $ Looking over specs, it looks to me like Grahams would require subs, for sure. | |
| Monitor suggestions? @motokokusnagi;Agree that ATC SCM19 would be great if I could use subs. Otherwise, no. I said "ideally" re: 35HZ.-- I should have said "as deep as possible" or similar. FYI, Elac Vela has port that fires back AND down. I will look into Graham. | |
| Monitor suggestions? And subs are not on the table! | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles @danager:"Pieta Brown: Freeway is a great albumI don’t see her mentioned by audiophiles and have no idea whether she’s mainstream but she’s darn good."Yeah, well it's a common pattern. For example, there seem to many audiophiles whose familiarity ... |
