| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Yes; I’m familiar with both of those albums. I like Purim, too, but prefer her in this sort of setting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0x0Tgf4ZHk&list=OLAK5uy_kCXtbLfAYXY8Rl-Mm8A43kVI5zu2XLd38&index=3 As Sly said "Di... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Well, we all have our favorites. After your earlier comment about liking music that makes you dance, I was not expecting you to state a fondness for Alice Coltrane, J. Coltrane and P. Sanders! I like some of the recordings by these... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog I have to write my passwords down-- no way could I possibly remember them all. Like many folks, I’ve got quite a list, at this point. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Try Cannonball's "Live at the Lighthouse", "Things Are Getting Better" and "Somethin" Else". I assume you’ve heard him on "Kind of Blue"... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Well, that's a start! ;o) | |
| Article: "Do Blind Listening Tests Work? My Sessions with the Colorado Audio Society" @sns I disagree with defining bias solely in terms of regarding something as unfavorable. As I understand it, bias is a habitual inclination to prejudge (whether favorably or unfavorably) according to unconscious beliefs. FWIW, the definitio... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I know I’ve heard Gigi Gryce with Richard Williams before, but I swear it wasn’t either of these recordings. Good stuff! Looks like they’re still available used on CD, if one is willing to pay the price. I sure wish A'gon would iron ou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog PMs are entirely fine. Sharing contact info is the no no. We use private messaging all the time on this site. I’m mystified as to why you cannot access PMs, but I’m admittedly not very computer literate. I will respond to your qu... | |
| Opera Consonance CDP...couple questions @troutbum I had one one those a long time ago. You will likely gain the biggest improvement going with a separate transport and DAC. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Perhaps look under "my profile"? Perhaps it shows up differently on different devices. The Ken Burns video is, in my opinion, somewhat flawed in that he spent a disproportionate amount of time on early Jazz then rushed through sub... | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! @waytoomuchstuff I meant to say, it's as though transparency has been enhanced... | |
| Don't Neglect to check your Caps! @waytoomuchstuff You could be right about the "twofer". I was doing a lot of running around that day and neglected to ask what, exactly, the tech used as a replacement. Sure made a big difference, though. AlI I know, is the sound is improved ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog PM = personal message. You should see a notification at the top of your screen to click on. I sent PM because you and I have gotten off main thread topic of Jazz and etiquette dictates we not "hijack" the thread. I'd prefer t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Have sent PM | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog To clarify, if I had a dedicated room and the financial resources, I suspect my curiosity would most likely tempt me to explore the possibility of building a system whose presentation mimicked live music. I’m not fundamentally oppos... |
