| Anybody have Experience with Alta Audio Alyssa Speaker @tjraubacher I also have H390 and am beginning to look towards an eventual stand-mount upgrade. I encountered many very positive reviews of the Allyssa, before reading the Stereophile review. https://www.stereophile.com/content/alta-audio-alys... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A good one! | |
| Are You a Swifty? @bigtwin I respect anyone who can achieve what she has done. Having said that, there is nothing about her music that "speaks" to me. +1 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant I'm not surprised to read on Wikipedia that R. Haynes is "among the most recorded drummers in Jazz". In addition to his own recordings, he's played on an amazing variety of sessions in many different sub-genres. A master! | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear Whatever I say, you repeatedly miss the point, so I don't see what's to be gained by continuing. I harbor no ill will toward you but this clearly isn't working. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @mdalton We all have our favorites. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Interesting short Bio of Ostad Elahi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaw7eWzgWr0 This video explains that Elahi designed an instrument with two strings that are deliberately not quite in tune. I noticed this effect as soon as I began listening ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @mdalton With all due respect, I don’t see the purpose of this exercise. You could’ve just as easily suggested any one of 100’s of other Jazz recordings and my response would be the same: I recognize the talent and artistic merit but feel more ... | |
| Integrated amp: Component weight @cundare2 Harbeth shows with Hegel and vice versa, for whatever that’s worth. The H390 weighs 44 lbs. FYI, I have back issues, too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 OK... so I wasn't imagining it! ;o) | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear I would classify "Kind of Blue" as Modal, rather than Post Bop. Yes, I own it but it's been years since I've listened to it with any regularity. I was introduced to it in 1976, at a point when I was first getting into Jazz by listenin... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear I don't know what Progressive Jazz is. My favorite sub-genre is, without question, Post-Bop: A genre of small-combo jazz that assimilates hard bop, modal jazz, avant-garde and free jazz without necessarily being immediately identifi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought Haden also performed with E. Gismonti during that same festival. OK. I found this: https://ecmrecords.com/product/in-montreal-charlie-haden-egberto-gismonti/ Maybe it was a different gig? | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @sokogear If you don’t like Miles you don’t like jazz, and that’s OK. Jazz comprises more than 50% of my listening and at times has comprised a much greater proportion since I first began exploring it in the mid 70’s. There are numerous Jazz ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @mahgister Sometimes it is not the opinion the problem... Sometimes it is the way the opinion is phrased as an ultimatum... So true! Not such a big deal re: audio but when it comes to politics... |
