| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf -"So are tou saying the Denon PMA-A110 is in the same ball park as the Hegel H80?" @blackbag20 -"I’d poke around on The Music Room ... it has a Hegel H80 in your budget." If soundstage and resolution are at the top of your list, the Hege... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "The Arcam sounds good I just want something more robust and with a more realistic and holographic sound if that makes sense." Yes. The Denon will be more robust, for sure. And yes, the design is pretty awesome and great to look at. WR... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "Would you say it is superior to the Arcam?" Depends what you are looking for--I had an Arcam amp and remember it leaning towards a darker British sound--warm, very musical and "polite." It worked great with a pair of Dahlquist reissue... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - The Denon house sound is "beefy." It has presence. You will get resolution, decent soundstage, but not as much air and space between the instruments because the amp is tuned to be on the warm side of neutral. It's also built to last. D... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister - Am very happy for you that you has discovered Tete! Enjoy the music.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here is one more Bill Evans influenced pianist, for anyone interested. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister -Totally agree! Tangential observation- NHOP has been the bass accompanist for Bill Evans. @jdougs -Agree about Steeplechase. Many of Dexter Gordon's best albums are on the Steeplechase label. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs -Thanks for the recommendation. Doing some research I saw Kenny Drew is accompanied by Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass and Albert 'Tootie' Heath on drums. I have a terrific CD by Tete Montoliou, Tete-A-Tete, with NHOP and Tootie. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good Morning Everyone! Thanks for posting Kenny Drew. He's a piano player on a number of records I own. Until this thread, I wasn't familiar with his work as a band leader. Wow! A specific, sorta-related thread question about Japanese re-issues.... | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? The Ayre "house-sound" is neutral to the point that some people think it's "dry/analytic." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister-Close enough, for sure. Stephane Wrembel tours extensively. Every year he hosts a "Django-fest" in the NYC area. You may recognize the song from Woody Allen's, "Midnight in Paris." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jafant - RIP. An excerpt form a Les McCann obit "Les McCann, a jazz pianist and vocalist who was an early progenitor of the bluesy, crowd-pleasing style that came to be known as soul jazz, and who, although he released more than 50 albums, was ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "By any chance did you get the new (2020 release) release of the 2 of them live at The Penthouse in 1962 titled OW! on vinyl? I purchased the CD the day it came out. The sonics on the CD are very good." I just purchased Ow! at my local CD re-sal... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -Love Illinois Jacquet's rendition! Thanks for sharing. Jo Jones' drumming sounds like the IRT going over the 125th St subway bridge, late at night. Danny Gatton is under appreciated. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 -that is interesting. I do like Jimmy Forest's grittier version. I didn't know there were so many to choose from :-) Forest's saxophone reminds me of the sax on this song- |
