| One key to building great systems over time. @waytoomuchstuff Thanks for your gracious response. I'd agree that, from a dealer's standpoint, encouraging customers to audition better gear makes sense, for a number of reasons. In retrospect, it's occured to me that what I was responding... | |
| One key to building great systems over time. @waytoomuchstuff Many have not had the opportunity to audition equipment at 2x-4x their budget to see what they are missing. They were never invited to do so, or it was not even on the radar. Doing so would have changed their world. Or, at leas... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 From Brozman to Tingvall -- quite a contrast! This is pleasant enough but there’s something a bit too smooth about it, for my taste. I know -- first I complain about too much dissonance; now, it’s too much consonance. What can I say? I... | |
| Hiatus @rvpiano Glad you found your way back to the music! @ghdprentice I think Audiophilia attracts certain types of people. Men for one, but with analytical skills, a love of nuance and subtlety, lots of cuiousity, and definitely somewhat obsess... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @simonmoon The underlying groove ties it all together. Without it, the effect would be quite different. @curiousjim I suspect so ;o) @mahgister Forgetting about audio upgrades brings contentment ! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I didn't pick up on the gong show music -- too distracted by the visuals, I guess. Thanks for the DiMeola info. That must've been pretty scary for him! Scofield -- glad he's still playing but it's sad to witness the decline of one's... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? @mahgister I just explained how to do if you dont have the possibility to compare gear and listening to it... Perhaps I didn't read your post thoroughly. Sorry if I mischaracterized your message. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I have no idea what to make of your latest links... or is this, perhaps, the idea? Are you playing the role of "Dylan" with me as "Mr. Jones" ??? @curiousjim I prefer "Blue Serge" but it’s my nature to compare and categorize. . . If ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I think lacking in sophistication is important to enjoy them. OK. Sophistication was a poor choice of words on my part as it’s hard to pin down. Let me try to say it another way. I enjoy cooked garlic, in moderate-to-generous amounts... | |
| Any Advice for those Listening to Youtube Reviewers? @mahgister Not all people are able to listen to gear BEFORE buying... Well, OK -- Not all people are willing to restrict their choices to what’s available from online sellers that offer return policies. There are good reasons for this -- in ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 I’ll freely admit to lacking the sophistication required to appreciate Last Exit. In fact, were I to be confronted by them, live, I expect I’d be one of the "first" to "exit" the venue ! ;o) | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Can you imagine a band with John McLaughlin and Larry Young? It was called Lifetime and the drummer was Tony Williams, who led the band... no issues of keeping up. Can you imagine a band with John McLaughlin and Jaco? It was called... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw8156 Hadn’t heard about his heart attack. Let’s hope this isn’t the end of his playing days. As you probably know, Brignola doesn’t only play Bari. However, on the session with Holland and DeJohnette Bari is the sole horn. This is also the c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What-- no love for Nick Brignola or Gary Smulyan??? @curiousjim I enjoy DiMeola’s acoustic playing. I saw RTF on the Romantic Warrior tour and much preferred the acoustic portion of the show. Wish I could have seen them early on, with Bill Conn... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim , @pjw81563 I can’t help but wonder, as was the case with Emily Remler, whether "heart failure" was also a euphemism for drug OD in Leo’s case. |
