| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister RE: "Extraordinary Sarangi", when I listen to such players, it feels like they are playing my nerves for strings ! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Please do not forget Charles Tolliver, with the likes of Jackie Mclean and also as a leader! | |

| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @frogman Wise counsel. . . and ( speaking strictly for myself, of course. ;o) ), not so easy to follow. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @16f4 No, you are most certainly not "imagining" the Dead's off-key singing. Whether it was unlistenably so, all the time, depends upon one's tastes. | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding @bdp24 Personally I love what a well-positioned dim. chord can contribute but tension and resolution is a major aspect in my listening enjoyment. This is not necessarily true for everyone. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @russ69 I share your frustration and appreciate how you framed the question but I don't believe this is a gulf that can be bridged. | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. @djones51 I've yet to listen to a component that measured well and sounded bad, Measurements, presumably, are objective. How "good" something sounds is highly subjective and furthermore, susceptible to a host of variables. | |

One change it's brought that's not welcome is vocal... | |
| Hegel or a Modwright The Hegel is a great amp but if the tube sound is what you crave, the Hegel is not going to scratch that itch. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b That's reassuring. I'll seriously consider the dbx option, then. Thanks. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b Thanks for your response. I don't have any pro audio expertise so I'm not sure what sort of learning curve might be involved were I to get a dbx unit. Have to look into that. The price is certainly appealing, though and I've had good exp... | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @dave_b I'm curious why you went with dbx rather than say, one of the Schiit eqs. I'm contemplating moving up to Schiit's top of the line Loki Max but perhaps I ought to consider dbx as well. Which model did you buy? |
