| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... @ilikemiles I saw Lewis Nash once with Vincent Herring. I spent most of the set watching Nash! | |
| Having a Flashback Friday - Airplane Induced @jsalerno277 I did plenty of listening while under the influence, way back when, and I still listen to some of that music but don't experience any physiological changes or shifts in consciousness, if that is in fact what you are referring to. ... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? @painter24 Yes. I watched that same Jay's Iyagi review last night. It makes sense that tube amplification would be a good match with the Pontus 15th. I'm committed to SS amplification so, for me the fact that even current tube DACs seem to b... | |
| Denafrips Pontus *15th* ? I seem to recall reviewers describing the Venus 12th as voiced more in favor of upper mids and highs than Pontus 12th. If in fact the new Pontus is more like the Venus 12th, I’d be curious whether its tonality followed suit. Every comparison I’v... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @no_regrets So glad to hear your foray into upgraded digital has turned out so well, Don! Saw your system pics on the other forum and aside from what are clearly undersized speakers ;o) your vinyl rig looks amazing. | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII @jc51373 Thanks for your comments. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice to see some appreciation shown for N.H.S.N.H.S. ! It was the first non-Fusion C. Corea record I bought decades ago and if I could only listen to one of his records, would be my choice. | |

| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 RE: video, what gets me is when he says he "would just make up things." No big deal! | |
| How Many Readers Come & Go It never hurts to use the search feature first before starting a new thread, simply because certain topics like "What new DAC should I buy?" come up over and over and members (understandably) get weary of trying to answer the same questions over a... | |
| New In 2024 McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson: Forces of Nature Live at Slug’s Blue Note CD & Vinyl release date is 11/22 I’m looking forward to this one!!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Didn’t realize I’d already posted -- I thought I was still in editing mode, but no matter. I guess, what it boils down to is, I don’t find Bennett’s (as I perceive it) highly theatrical tone any more "childlike" than Jordan’s earthy to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman IMO, the song does not work as well with “jazzy” inflections. Sheila Jordan’s version has an element of sultriness that I feel is completely inappropriate for the story behind the song. Moreover, the rendition sounds belabored. It’s ha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Another version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxEs-dcc8yk To me, Tony Bennett's version sounds almost "operatic" by comparison. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Thanks for the further explanation, data and examples regarding a fascinating topic! |
