| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary I just discovered that Kenny Wheeler was Canadian -- I'd always thought he was a Brit ! One of my favorite ECM artists. @ho249 PFE displays an interesting combination of influences. | |
| Dust Removal Thanks for all the suggestions. . . quite a range, here ! | |

| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Yes: an excellent choice! Also, check out "West 42nd Street". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ith00zqbqoU | |
| Plastic sleeves for cd's... @fbgbill Since most of my cd’s are in jewel cases, any new ones that come in cardboard I put them in jewel cases and cut the cardboard to fit tin the case Yes; I do this as well. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @dmk_calgary , @acman3 Thanks for your suggestions. Tragic loss, Remler. There was no official live release but there are some live performances on youtube. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister "people will spend 50,000 bucks for a system inferior to my 700 bucks one because they dont know what to buy and why , and where to put it." Yes. Filling a room with gear is easy. Choosing gear that works well together in a particu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister You are most welcome! BTW, Tabackin is no slouch, either! I dislike most Jazz flute playing but his, with its distinctive "oriental" flavor, I find very enjoyable. A sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfyT25pJmOU | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @simonmoon Let me add, that none of my choices were made due to sound quality, or audiophile cred. They were all chosen for performance and musical content. Bravo! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister Yes; I mentioned the Mosaic 3 CD set. Did you buy it? last I checked, most of their recordings were out of print or only available as expensive Japanese’s imports. Here’s their discogs page: https://www.discogs.com/artist/257337-Tos... | |
| Can you have too much speaker presence? I've only encountered the term "presence" in the context of guitar amps. Don't know if this applies but here is a definition from the Fender website: ...the "presence" control... controls “presence", which boosts upper-mid and treble frequenc... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @bigtwin Maybe dumb question but do you mean "on" as in ready to operate or in "stand by" mode? I ask because I typically leave my H390 in stand by mode. If this not recommended, I’d like to know. | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @thr1961 Ah. OK -- I'm strictly CDs. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You could have warned me that the Penguins guide was over 1600 pages long! I haven’t read a book that big since collage! Hah! I’ll confess that never occurred to me! ;o) I hope "going back to school" will be fun for you! @mahgis... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @thr1961 "Waltz for Debbie" is an old favorite of mine, as well. The Craft release is vinyl? Not sure why but I've never developed a taste for Coltrane's playing with Miles. I much prefer the next Miles quintet, either with George Coleman or W... |
