| How Many Readers Come & Go It never hurts to use the search feature first before starting a new thread, simply because certain topics like "What new DAC should I buy?" come up over and over and members (understandably) get weary of trying to answer the same questions over a... | |
| New In 2024 McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson: Forces of Nature Live at Slug’s Blue Note CD & Vinyl release date is 11/22 I’m looking forward to this one!!! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman Didn’t realize I’d already posted -- I thought I was still in editing mode, but no matter. I guess, what it boils down to is, I don’t find Bennett’s (as I perceive it) highly theatrical tone any more "childlike" than Jordan’s earthy to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @frogman IMO, the song does not work as well with “jazzy” inflections. Sheila Jordan’s version has an element of sultriness that I feel is completely inappropriate for the story behind the song. Moreover, the rendition sounds belabored. It’s ha... | |

| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII @freediver Thanks so much for your very helpful comments! | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII @gryphongryph Have you heard any of their components? | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII @lak Thanks for the link. Watching that video is what originally piqued my interest. However, he is never enthusiastic about anything for very long before declaring, with great fanfare, that something else is "the best". I started the thread to ... | |
| ELECTROCOMPANIET ECI 6 DX MKII @audiotroy What can you tell me about the sonics? | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? @jwei I haven’t been into audio long enough to associate this term with any brand. When I researched my Hegel H390, I encountered mentions of its tendency to "move the music along" and once in my system, this was indeed apparent. It was not only... | |
