| Qualities Of An End-game System @hilde45 New experiences changed my feelings. They alerted me to richer experiences I could strive for. I suppose the statement is still true, but I made the mistake of thinking I felt something capable of ending my search and I was wrong. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Another excellent late-period Mariano: "Savannah Samurai" ! | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @tylermunns "If something doesn’t move you, it doesn’t move you. There’s nothing wrong with that, and it’s entirely possible that at some point in life, it will" ...and it's equally possible it won't, but as the man says, "there's nothing wro... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue @krelldog The following may be seem elementary/obvious to you. If so, feel free to ignore it. I’d suggest appreciating and liking are two different things and when it comes to esthetics, the former does not necessarily lead to the latter. What... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix OK. Thanks for weighing in. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @soix I’m wondering if you’ve heard Fritz Carbons with Hegel amplification and if so, how you think they’d compare to the Pulsars and Alyssas. | |
| Kind of Blue @tylermunns Actually, I haven’t had the experience you describe. And, as a creative person whose played guitar for 50 years, has a studio art degree in drawing/printmaking and enjoys photography and writing poetry, implying I'm someone who dis... | |
| Kind of Blue I don't understand the more extreme reactions to "labelling" genres of Jazz expressed here. It can be very helpful to know which sub-genre a particular recording falls into, simply for the sake of finding other recordings one might enjoy. This ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher No reason to apologize. It never occurred to me that you were trying to hide anything. ;o) I simply meant it makes sense to hold off on buying any speakers until you find out whether or not a designated listening room is where you ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher Your disclosure that you may have enough funds for a separate listening room changes the picture you first presented quite a bit! In that case, it wouldn't make sense to demo/buy speakers until the new room is set up. | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher I’d guess the prospect of getting Pulsars for that price isn’t a "deal" so much as an impossibility. Perhaps if you can’t bring yourself to spend 5K it would make more sense to set a budget you’re more comfortable with and proceed ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 ... and yet another is "Journey’s End" on ECM with John Surman. YouTube only has one track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRyDDBeOWCA&list=RDwRyDDBeOWCA&index=2 BTW, have there been previous discussions of John Surman, ... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher TMR has a pair of Prisms for a lot less $: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisb93j3-joseph-audio-prism-bookshelf-speakers-black-pair-58044-monitors?refsource=hifishark | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher That's a tough one. It's hard to make someone care about something they don't naturally discern/value. One of the youtube reviewers drove the Alyssa's with an H190 and H 390, which caught my attention. He didn't mention anything a... | |
| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher You’re welcome. If I had the funds, now, I would probably buy those used Pulsars. BTW, one need not be a "bass freak" to appreciate standmounts that deliver bass that exceeds expectations in terms of the size of the drivers. But eac... |
