| Jazz for aficionados Maybe our collections are very large with mostly 'killers', and if we listened to roon, we would miss listening to the killers in our own collection.Well, again, I'm cool with that. I'm not saying anybody's doing it wrong. Whatever works for eve... | |
| Jazz for aficionados People here feel that a streaming service would be a waste of time.That's okay with me. I'm not evangelizing for anything. Just addressing why I'll probably differ from what seems to be the usual practice in the thread.YT has a treasure trove of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Trentmemphis, I would say that folks here mostly do not use stream services , so dont be shy with ytube.Hmm. I mean, I'm no young whippersnapper. I'm in my 50s (not too grumpy, though, I hope). I have a nice turntable and I buy records. But fo... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Umm, how big a desert island are we contemplating? This is *a* Desert Island List, anyway. I wouldn't call it definitive, even just for me. In no particular order, just scanning through the jazz portion of my Roon favorites list and jotting down... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, guys. I'll have to think about the Desert Island List.Probably won't post many YT links. For one, I doubt I'll be making many arguments. Just saying what I'm enjoying. No need to back that up. And most everybody has access to at least... | |

| Warm romantic & detailed I'll throw my vote to whichever Tannoy model best suits your room/budget. I've got Focals, B&Ws, Dynaudios, Klipsches, Totems, and Tannoy Stirlings, at the moment. For me, in my room, with my equipment, the Stirlings take the prize. I reall... | |
| Tannoy Stirlings on the way! Loving the additional perspectives! Sounds like there are some excellent pairings out there. (Six months break-in might be a bit much for me, though!)@douger Hey, thanks! We've managed to keep it on-topic and not descend into endless debates a... | |
