| DACed and Confused here... @saulh So many brands/models/shapes/sizes. Everyone has an opinion. The fact is, you will never know what best suits your ears in your system until you actually hear some. The Music Room offers a return policy on used gear including DACs. ... | |
| A blowing session???? @charles1dad I respect all of Miles’ work but have to say that his earlier era of late 1940s to the early 1960s (Bebop-Modal) are what I enjoy most. Certainly to each their own. Me too. I was enamored of his Fusion stuff when I first got into... | |
| A blowing session???? @daveyf My OP was wondering more along the lines if the particular genre at the time...mostly Bop, was pretty much a ’blowing session’ for a lot of these musicians. Which would lead me to my next question, perhaps this is why Miles Davis ’progr... | |
| A blowing session???? @daveyf IOW, if you have heard one great blowing session, maybe you have heard them all? Sure, I guess, if you’re not much of a fan of the genre. It’s not as though we can easily place all Jazz recordings into one of two categories. There a... | |
| Was just Listening to Dan Fogelberg... @douglas_schroeder You mentioned Poco. Jim Messina was their guitar player, early on. His later group Loggins & Messina were best known for 3 minute am radio hits. However, they hired great players and some of their albums included extended ... | |
| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? @curiousjim An inexpensive lower-tier Audio Art cable (I’ve since moved up the line).

| NAD c399 integrated amp and what DAC? @anthony26l Used MHDT Orchid Used Border Patrol Both have very good reputations. Both are warm r2r, which may or may not give you what you what you want, sonically. You may have to spend a good deal more for something like a used Denafrips V... | |

| NAD c399 integrated amp and what DAC? @antho768 Suggestions: 1) This should be posted under the "digital" category, not "music". ;o) 2) Without knowing which particular sonic characteristics you favor, it's difficult to answer your question. More info, please! 3) You can also s... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Glad you're enjoying him! Personally, I think he's underrated but then, I'm biased ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim There are lots of great Stanley Cowell releases to enjoy! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos I'd say both Guides have their strengths and weaknesses.Without question, the All Music is more complete. Thanks for explaining the Frogman rule. If we only listened to the best of the best we'd grow bored, eventually, no? | |
| Jazz for aficionados @alexatpos What is "frogman’s rule" ? Check out Penguin Jazz Guide as well. | |
