| Hegel H390 DAC @jjss49 I was hoping you’d post here. Thanks. I used digital bnc from Jay’s cdt2mklll to Aqua and rca"s from Aqua to Hegel. I used same bnc from Jay’s directly into Hegel. Sorry, but are you suggesting using DAC loop would equate to "equal fo... | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @curiousjim Re: Anders, that's disappointing to hear. Out of curiosity, did you ever get an answer to the bias question? What DACs did you consider before choosing the Pontus and what do you like about the Pontus, especially? | |
| Hegel H390 DAC @curiousjim Anders, the marketing guy for Hegel has asserted the H590 and 390 have the same DAC module but that the H590 has better isolation. RE: H600, all I’ve seen/heard so far is this Jay’s Iyagi review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk1... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear Maybe go to taper's section on Dead website and ask whether there are still great shows that have yet to be released? I sure wish they'd released the entire May 77 show that's on Dick's Picks 3, instead of a chopped-up, truncated ver... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! @garebear I didn't realize that. Thanks! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Thanks for taking the time to go into this topic in more depth. What you say makes sense. As a guitar player, I understand the significance of modes. Perhaps Fusion is itself too broad a term because as time went on, the genre changed... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Each post of frogman is like a small jazz masterclass Yes, indeed! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Well, I’m perplexed. You are more erudite than I"ll ever be on the topic of Jazz but I definitely don’t hear the music of the 2nd great 5tet as fusion-like. Once Corea and Holland arrived, yes. Before that? No. Would you therefore char... | |
| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Because I only enjoy the Dead when they are not playing sloppily or singing off pitch, the yearly subscription model is a no-go. I hope the Dave’s Picks series will, like Dick’s Picks, be eventually re-released as single shows. There are a few I’d... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Although I happen to prefer the two I suggested already, "Modern Art" and "Portrait of Art Farmer" are better known: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Xlwqdq1KY8&list=OLAK5uy_kBmYS4IvRE1WxDXl7XeTXGQkBqCWRO4Io https://www.... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. I can't imagine any album I know of passing such a test. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 I think Elvin and Tony Williams were more innovators as both of them had unique styles that they innovated first and other drummers follow/copy to this day. Yes -- this is how I think about them as well. I'll look forward to hear... | |
| Do people tire of audio forums? There are members here who I've found to be not only consistently helpful but unfailingly patient, kind and generous. They are the reason I continue to participate. There are others I do my best to ignore. Political diatribes and personal attack... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Speaking of A. Farmer, are you familiar with this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G5quNRGnCE&list=OLAK5uy_nnE2EwWUyJwoXr_u6ToaLz56ptYbNZlso The same group recorded the "Something to Live For" album, dedicated to B. Strayhorn.... | |
| A blowing session???? @larsman I’m a big fan of Miles’ work in the late 60’s and early 70’s; just ordered the Vinyl Me Please box set of Electric Miles Davis, which has his albums from ’In a Silent Way’ to ’Get Up With It’.... That’s one of the great things about ... |
