| HEGEL 190, 390-400, 590-600 The fire at the factory that produced AKM dac chips used in the H390 impelled Hegel to switch to Sabre chips for the H600 and the new replacement for the H390 . . the H400? How this impacts the sonics I can’t say. I’d never depend upon an AI for b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re: Shorter vs. Coleman, as a listener, for me, it comes down to the mood I’m in, on any given day or evening. I don’t want to listen to Shorter’s Blue Notes or the 2nd Great 5tet all the time, even though these recordings are among my all time fa... | |

| What exactly is PRaT??? @steakster You’re welcome. Glad someone found it worthwhile. Those guys are two of the best player-teachers online. | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @calvinandhobbes I think you’re right on the mark based on my listening experiences. Two categories of components that seem to inhibit PRaT from my perspective are: High mass turntables High powered Class AB amplifiers I never experience... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @bolong Master of PRAT ie."swing" You might check out this analysis, exploring how Little Wing in fact incorporates both straight time and swing, which is why it’s deceptively difficult to get right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uGDYs__Z... | |
