| LAIV Harmony @audiostick I wish you luck in your DAC quest. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gold DAC ? @tubeguy80 Thanks for sharing your experience. I wouldn't have even considered the S. Gold if not for Jay's (the young, Canadian Jay -- not the guy in Florida) surprisingly effusive review. @audphile1 Your input is very welcome, as always.... | |
| LAIV Harmony Perhaps I’m missing something, here, but I don’t really see the point of debating whether a particular reviewer’s comments on a particular DAC are "accurate" or "reliable". In the end, what matters is how it sounds to you in your system in your ro... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant We can both be thankful to @simonmoon , who consistently recommends music no one else ever mentions! . | |
| Jazz for aficionados Something mentioned by @simonmoon on @jafant’s ongoing "new in 2024" thread: "Perpetual Mutations" by Gavin Harrison and Antoine Farad. These players are new to me and I’m not sure how to label this genre but I’m guessing some of you might enjoy i... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gold DAC ? That young Canadian guy Jay just did a very positive youtube review, which piqued my curiosity. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Yes. You are of course 100% correct. I should have said diatonic chord changes. I’m aware that one may take the tones of a single chord and utilize them as a scale from which to build other chords, that while remaining within a single h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Interesting discussion. Although KOB is often referred to as the beginning of modal Jazz and held up as an example of improvisation that is less tied to chord changes; more "free floating", if you will, it still strikes me as more structured, less... | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Leonid, band from Russia does wonderful covers of Chicago, Carpenter, various 70’s soul and funk bands. Superb musicianship but be advised that what they offer are note-perfect duplications, as opposed to "reinterpretations" or "re-visions". ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman However, for me, Miles’ “Second Great Quintet” is the greatest Jazz ensemble that ever was. Incredible in every way. For me, as well ! ! ! | |
| Your Best Friend Forever @larsman I like any art where my experience is a bit different each time (after all, I’M a bit different each time); this goes for books, movies, television, and music for sure. I’d put most of what I have in all of these into that category I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @bottomzone If you like VSOP, give a listen to the band whose magic VSOP attempted to recreate -- the Miles Davis Quintet 1964 - 1968. | |
| Kenny Burrell's album Midnight Blue If you like Midnight Blue you might like "Idle moments" by Grant Green. | |
| Modern Covers of Classics Interesting how a cover can bring new life to a song or act as a lens through which previously unnoticed or under-appreciated aspects/qualities can be perceived/appreciated. Having said that, for me it’s a fairly rare occurrence in popular genres... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman I was familiar with that N. L. Doky album, but not the Joe Locke, which I enjoyed. |
