| What exactly is PRaT??? @mkorsunsky Why "partners in crime" ? What is "criminal" about PRaT and how can any definition of music exclude harmony? | |
| Jazz for aficionados RE: Harrell with Phil Woods, also check out "Integrity:The New Phil Woods Quintet Recorded Live": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vXKTPhH9Kk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baxfCcewiSc (In addition to the above, there are more tracks availabl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant RE: "hard-pressed", I realize I’m a bit odd in that regard! ;o) https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tom+harrell+labyrinth | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant My favorite T. Harrell record is Labyrinth. What about you? | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @onhwy61 I suspect I’m not the only one who unconsciously assumes my heroes will never grow old. Watched Otis Gibb’s interview with Ray Benson last week and I wouldn’t have recognized him, had I not known who he was before tuning in. | |
| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck Sadly, Morse is afflicted with serious arthritis. Notice how he plays much more from the elbow, now. Rick Beato did an interview with him in which he goes into, among other things, his efforts to find workarounds. I saw him just once with the Dre... | |
| Best music in 2024 @simonmoon Could you possibly recommended anything else in the same vein as "Perpetual Mutations"? ? ? | |

| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix No. I do not. A system either plays music the way I perceive it or it does not. Well, that’s pretty definitive! Considering the fact that you are a drummer and (I presume) very familiar with how rhythms "feel" in your body, I don’t feel... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @soix One question: do you experience some systems as more rhythmically engaging than others? | |
| Room with glass windows as a walls. I haven’t found heavy, lined drapes make any difference although I haven’t tried the "ripple fold" variety. Synergistic Research sell small "room tuning" devices called HFT’s that could perhaps be utilized. Pretty sure you can return them if boug... | |
| Six DAC Comparison I guess, re: Jazz, that would be "best of three worlds". . . rhythm, melody. harmony. | |
| Six DAC Comparison @soix I know some people who are big into PRaT and I confess I just don’t get it. Give me tonality and a good 3D soundstage and I’m a happy camper, so this toe-tapping PRaT thing is just totally lost on me if someone here can actually explain i... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mrdon “if you find yourself tapping your foot and bobbing your head to the tune,” your ahead of the game and chances are your DAC is performing well enough to make you happy. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me, there's a lot more to ... |
