| what system musicians prefer? Do they care? @phasemonger--You hit the nail on the head ! ! ! Audiophiles believe SOUND is the gateway to perceiving and enjoying music,whereas musicians focus on, as you listed: "...articulation, pitch manipulation, tempo, instrument usage, and dynamic choice... | |
| How eclectic is your taste in music? When I was younger, music appeared to be an enormous playground awaiting exploration. As I've aged, however, it's become very evident that the size of the playground is somewhat of a moot point, given the fact that my capacity for approaching and ... | |
| The Music Room I've only had a couple transactions with TMR but found the the representatives involved to be both highly professional and cordial. I would buy from/sell to them again with no reservations.Now, about supporting B&M stores...We hear again and a... | |

| Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz. You're welcome.If you like Jazz on the bluesy side, as franklinb66 suggested, there's lots to explore ! ! ! Like Gene Ammons, Stanley Turrentine recorded a lot of bluesy stuff.Cannonball, too. An entire thread could easily be dedicated to this ge... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery @erik_squires:Thanks-- I appreciate your response !I agree that making claims/assertions without backing them up helps no-one. And it's not that I don't employ reasoning when it comes to audio-- it's just that, in the end, I make final decions bas... | |
| I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery @eric_squires:"I'll support inclusive, fact based discussions and those who are intellectually curious every time I can". OK. I'm a creative person-- I have a studio art degree, have played guitar for many decades. I enjoy creative writing, photo... | |
| The Absurdity of it All @mijostyn: many thanks for the detailed response. I've grown to accept my system's limited bass response (monitors without a sub). If I had a dedicated room, I'd treat it, but that's not an option at this point. @tonywinga: " Making decisions abo... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I don't have an overall favorite... how could I? When I'm in the mood for Hendrix, he's my favorite. Likewise, Freddie King, Grant Green, Ralph Towner, Jeff Beck, Otis Rush, Emily Remler, Richard Thompson, Peter Green, Sonny Sharrock, Duane Allm... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? slaw:FYI: Snowy White played most of the solos on "In the Skies". He's put out plenty of his own recordings, if you like his style. A remastered, expanded version of "The End of the Game" was recently released, which features some of P. Green's mo... | |
