| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @dweller Of course, I’m familiar with it. Not Jazz, but good! | |

| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @mahgister No problem! My thinking, in making such a distinction, was simply that live recordings can provide a sense of being "with the musicians, in the club", as the music is unfolding, moment-to-moment. I don’t regard live recordings as inhe... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @mahgister Well, OK but given just how many live recordings Jarrett has released, odds are no-one has heard them all. ;o) There aren't as many live Miles releases (definitely not hundreds) but the "Bootleg Series" has certainly increased their... | |
| List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings @drbb I'm familiar with the Jarrett but will check out the other two you've mentioned. @bigtwin They also did a second, 2 CD release: "Trilogy 2". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUx4mojdKNo&list=PLWfB7VeEXCumOJNfTsXzd5FJaJ0XBQPsU... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @hilde45 3 more: TMR, Up Scale Audio, Listen Up! | |
| New In 2023 Thanks, jafant. I'd rather talk about music than gear any day.😀 | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @krelldog I'm pretty sure this rarely happens. Its a great idea, but I can't imagine many dealers are going to let you take expensive speakers home, unbox them, audition them,re-box them and then bring them back. They may sell them too you, and... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @larsman I dunno - some folks, like me, wouldn’t want to deal with returning big floorstanding speakers, returns or no returns.. I get it. I just don't trust my ability to make a purchasing decision based on a showroom demo or review. But the... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? @larsman Auditioning speakers is often not an option for a lot of people, You mean: a lot of people are not willing to limit their choices to what can be purchased with a return policy, right? | |
| Mazzy loves Little Feat! "...crank-case coo-kin’ -- that’s a man-i-fold des-ti-ny..." Great performance. Yeah; I bought that record . . what a let down. But we’ll always have "Bring the Family" to savor. I’ve only seen Hiatt once. He didn’t bring along any sidemen on t... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? How "safe" do you want to be? Personally, I'd never buy any speaker I couldn’t first audition in my room. Your money. Your ears. | |
| New In 2023 I haven’t read through the entire thread, so maybe you’ve already mentioned these; 1) "Encore" by Brain Auger and Julie Tippets has been re-released by Esoteric. https://atthebarrier.com/2023/06/12/brian-auger-and-julie-tippetts-encore/ 2) "Hig... | |
| A Black Box to Solve Everything @knotscott Tubes for guitar and tubes for hi fi have very different objectives. Audible distortion for a guitar amp is a desirable feature, not so for a hi fi amp. FYI, distortion ("overdrive") is not the sole goal or attribute of guitar amps... | |
| From whence does Sound Stage come? @oldrooney How much have you actually played with speaker positioning? I don't know how applicable this might be for you, but I had to experiment much more than I'd ever expected before I finally got this right. One of the most dramatic improv... |
