| Old or new gear Freediver,Almost all of my equipment is pre-owned. The only components that I buy new are phono cartridges. It’s worked out very well for me. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I’ve been saying for decades that people who claim to hear a difference between $5 and $5K cable are simply suffering from the placebo effect. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Kip Hanrahan and I both went to The Cooper Union, a school for art architecture and engineering in New York’s East Village, in the 70s, when the East Village was cool. He studied sculpture. I was a painting major. Kip is an Irish Jew from... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados I will be able to contribute more when you start an LP thread. To the people complaining about the lack of opera recommendations, I have about 150 opera sets. I have listed two below, and an “oratorio” and a dance song cycle. Opera is not dead: th... | |
| Quincy Jones Interview QJ’s comments strike me as the kind of things that a person suffering from dementia makes. Impulsive, angry, without constructive purpose. What’s the goal here? After such a brilliant career, he wants to be remembered for a handful of self-indulge... | |
| Diana Krall Rpeluso, - Nyro’s dad was a jazz bass player- to me, the connection to Krause is obvious and I’ve stated it already. The only thing that I might have left unsaid is that I think of Krauss as a jazz-tinged pop singer, like Nyro, not the other way a... | |
| Diana Krall PS: I can’t edit my comment above anymore, one last thought: Laura made her first record for Verve when she was 16 years old. Clive Davis signed her to Columbia a year later. She was painfully shy, did the Davis audition with the lights off, the k... | |
| Diana Krall A couple years ago, I bought a couple of Krall LPs to see what the fuss was about. She felt like Lite Jazz to me. To measured. Too restrained. She left me cold. I sold the LPs. For someone who blends jazz with gospel, r&b, blues, Broadway, sou... | |

Kevinagurney,If the buyer asked to cancel within 12 hours - maybe even within 24 hours - of the sale, I would have granted his request, no questions asked, and moved on. He was signaling to you that he would be a problem buyer. And the term “for p... | |
| SELLERS encouraged to stop accepting Paypal!! Well, it’s not true that Paypal always sides with the buyer. I’m a buyer who is in a dispute with a seller, for whom the dispute has yet to turn out well. It’s been going on for 10 months now. The seller used the words “works perfectly” in four pl... | |
| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend Except for my Koetsu onyx, all of my equipment is between 30 (Futterman OTL3s, VPI HW 19 MK IV) and 60 (Altec 604Cs) years old. As another post pointed out, it’s good to have caps, etc replaced. About 5 years ago, I had all the caps in my amps, Be... | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? My ears.yes, they need upgrading but I’m afraid my age is outpacing medical advancement. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Kosst_amojan:i have an architect who knows what he’s doing. We are not going full blown passive house, and there will be an air exchange system. Windows will open and close, etc. That said, tighter buildings are the future. When we started out, ou... |
