| Jazz for aficionados Of course, Jazz covers a very wide range. Some styles/genres are more complex than others and needless to say, individuals vary according to their natural expressive inclinations and natural talents. Some incline towards cool "intellectual" abstra... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog FYI, also write poetry. I’ve also played guitar (not Jazz) for many decades. As you know, in art we have inspiration/intuition and craft/application of techniques and concepts. The point I was trying to make is that there are no d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @audio-b-dog Is this your first time visiting this thread? If so, your willingness to pass judgement seems a bit hasty,. Perhaps I misunderstand your poem, but are you suggesting Jazz is, by definition, all church on the one hand and alleyway... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For those interested in exploring the work of Roy Du Naan, here is a listing of recordings he engineered: https://www.discogs.com/artist/407308-Roy-DuNann?srsltid=AfmBOopYBTsfayo3EOEhkvUd-7gRtBHJjOv6CgtY6zIW3eT7RWATNXVl | |
| Speaker repair in Sacramento ? @68pete Thanks. I ended up taking them to Neal's speaker repair in Weimar. | |
| Speaker repair in Sacramento ? @newbee Thanks. I'm aware of them. I was just wondering if there might be anyone else. @dekay I'm experiencing a loss of highs. I want to make sure there's nothing amiss with stock crossover parts at this stage. | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Here is the link: https://www.discogs.com/artist/407308-Roy-DuNann?srsltid=AfmBOopYxP3aFZX7ZkDjP6nw3WeHMPeUXkgYEn-_AbyiioN984gVN8Tj | |
| New In 2025 @bdp24 Is "Traditional; Country Soul" a new genre? What is it? I've never heard it mentioned before. | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? @charlespearcw My personal favorite performance from Way To Blue: I love the gospel flavored arrangement highlighted by the vocals of Krystle Warren and Jazz pianist Zoey Rahman. I can see how hard-core Drake fans might find it diverges too mu... | |
| 2025 Audio System Wish List Time! @livinon2wheels Well, that certainly puts things in perspective. Not sure if these qualify as refurbished and they'd require a road trip: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176637086301?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=533838... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? @immatthewj Glad you enjoyed Aretha’s version. Given that her arrangement is so different from the original, perhaps it doesn’t make sense to compare them. Perhaps Paul might say they're "chalk and cheese". @onhwy61 I will have to look fo... | |
| Hegel hum? @dwest1023 My 390 is dead silent. Even putting my ear right up on it. Mine too... | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? On CD, I prefer DuNaan’s recordings to RVG. Check out list of DuNaan’s recordings on Discogs. | |
| Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks for your response. A disappointing audition of the Mojo Mystique XSE has challenged my previous conviction that a warm sounding DAC would be the right fit for me. In the past, I’ve noted your enthusiasm for Schiit DACs s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Thanks! Will do. |
