“Faithful to the recording”
Perhaps such terms of praise are best viewed as a measure of the reviewer's enthusiasm rather than an accurate description of what is occurring sonically, although given that each listener perceives and judges sound differently, I'm not sure there... 
Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?
@tomcy6  "When you’re in your early twenties, it is much easier to enjoy just about everything. It being Friday was reason enough to have a party and throw caution to the wind. Everything was funny. You had girlfriends who were also in their earl...

@khughes  "Sample gear, listen for yourself, and find the gear that speaks to you. Learn some acoustic and treat your room. And forget about what anyone else thinks. I think you'll find that you can build a far better system, at a far more reaso... 
Let me explain something to you jive turkeys.
Audio Bacon, I've heard of but audio giblets is new to me. . .

@ghdprentice  I experience the same thing with my Hegel H390.

@mahgister  Indeed, Martino was a musician, brilliant intellectual, passionate teacher and mystic, all rolled into one.

@sokogear  Well it's better to discover him late rather than never!  If your taste's can be inferred by the players you've listed, you might enjoy "We'll  Be Together Again" (very melodic and mellow duo with keyboardist Gil Goldstein) or  "Remem...

@sokogear  "Under the radar" ? ? ? ? For those who've never listened to Jazz, perhaps.

@bdp24  I've never heard of D.  Clinton Thompson but am familiar with Foster and Lloyd. How very cool that you got to see Lucinda so early in her career. I have the DVD of her first ACL performance with that band and it serves as an excellent i...

@tablejockey  I found this list of miles sidemen: http://webx.ubi.pt/~hgil/utils/Miles.Davis/MD_Legacy.html . .  all in all, a pretty amazing collection of players.

@tablejockey  "Tiger Walk" is fairly unique in Ford's output.  Although I enjoy the the material very much, I can't listen to it because of the production values. IMO, the rhythm section is so soul-less and robotic, they needn't have used real mu...

@bdp24  I never saw James Burton on TV-- my first astonishing exposure was on the song "For No One" on Emmy Lou Harris' "Pieces of the Sky" album. At that point, I had absolutely no idea that a "Country" player could play in such a "jazzy" manner...

@tylermunns  Yes-- B. Paisley is an exception to many on the New Country scene.  I favor older stuff, myself-- Jerry Jeff, EmmyLou, Rodney Crowell, Willie, etc.

@tylermunns  G. Campbell, Jerry Reed, Roy Clark, B. Paisley are indeed all fine pickers. The ones actually doing the playing on "New Country" records are of course session greats like Brent Mason-- not the so-called artists.
