| Dust Removal @51514brad It’s a sad state of affairs. Yes, and I don’t expect it will get any better until a sufficient number of people reach the conclusion that the benefits of compromise outweigh those of fighting and demonization. Of course, the for... | |
| Please recommend decoupling footers for DAC FWIT, my experience has been that steel balls have a tendency to result in fatiguing highs, if that's what you mean by "raspy". | |
| Dust Removal @nonoise I remember how things used to be, as you describe. I suppose every generation tends to believe things were better "back in the day" but the evaporation of what was once called " common courtesy" is truly lamentable. At the same time, I... | |
| Dust Removal @nonoise Unfortunately, one guy’s Dark Age is another guy’s Golden Age. How can humanity move forward if a large percentage want to go back... and if one guy’s forward is another guy’s back? In a rural area such as this, prone to both intense ... | |
| Dust Removal @nonoise Sneak some speed bumps on the road about 50' on either side of your home overnight and feign innocence when asked about it. Hah! I really wish I could get away with that -- we get mighty sick of the jerks who use our private road as... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Ok thanks @stuartk for the Toshiko Akiyoshi suggestions. You’re welcome! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary I just discovered that Kenny Wheeler was Canadian -- I'd always thought he was a Brit ! One of my favorite ECM artists. @ho249 PFE displays an interesting combination of influences. | |

| Plastic sleeves for cd's... @fbgbill Since most of my cd’s are in jewel cases, any new ones that come in cardboard I put them in jewel cases and cut the cardboard to fit tin the case Yes; I do this as well. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary , @acman3 Thanks for your suggestions. Tragic loss, Remler. There was no official live release but there are some live performances on youtube. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister "people will spend 50,000 bucks for a system inferior to my 700 bucks one because they dont know what to buy and why , and where to put it." Yes. Filling a room with gear is easy. Choosing gear that works well together in a particu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You are most welcome! BTW, Tabackin is no slouch, either! I dislike most Jazz flute playing but his, with its distinctive "oriental" flavor, I find very enjoyable. A sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfyT25pJmOU | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @simonmoon Let me add, that none of my choices were made due to sound quality, or audiophile cred. They were all chosen for performance and musical content. Bravo! |
