| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabakin Big Band is worth checking out. "Road Time" is awesome/live record. | |
| Porqupine Tree well, I can agree that PT is a little similar to early King Crimson, like "Court . . ." | |
| Porqupine Tree agree . . . Blackfield is also very good | |
| Porqupine Tree I was just getting ready to tell Roxy54 that PT's music is similar to King Crimson.I'm the not sure I see the similarity (any similarity) between P'Tree and King Crimson and I have most all both have offered; however, the fact that I like both of ... | |
| Porqupine Tree I love their stuff. I only have one of their LP's but have most everything they have done on CD, and a DVD live show. There's not a weak offering among them. | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? a quick ebay search on those 2 pieces shows they are selling for $2000 - $3500 for the 8b, and as much as $5000 for the 7c in great condition. I didn't see what they sell for in "needs work" condition, but would expect them to also bring 4 digit s... | |
| Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II I've had 3 of them (PL400's), but no longer do. How many of you have actually owned one that "blew up"? | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? you need to buy an ad. | |
| What a Songstress Julie London I'm in too. I have 3 or 4 of her albums and they are great end to end. One of my favorite songs - "You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To" | |
| Not asking the best.... Boz Scaggs' "Loan Me a Dime" - the extended solo/jam that has amazing lead guitar, but equally amazing and subtle rhythm backing. I also agree with Al's citing of Light My Fire, and would add other Doors songs (eg Riders on the Storm). | |
| Great Trumpet Players and Albums - recommendations of my favorites not yet listed -Lester Bowie - variousvery current - Christian Scott - "Anthem" | |
| Five channel amp setup help - Parasound A51 I think you may have a problem with ventilation on your amp. Maybe a big problem. I'm not familiar with that particular amp but have owned other Parasound amps and they tend to run hot. I suggest you set it on a table and power it on for 30 minute... | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? I have both the JD-9 and a Musical Fidelity X-LPS, and have previously owned many other low (They can be found for $160 +/- last time I checked, which is less than half what I think your JD-9 will sell for used. | |
| Jolida JD9: I think I over-bought. Alternatives? have you tried different gain settings on the dip switches? I find a lot of flexibility in the JD9, which is what I like about it. In addition to hi vs lo outputs, you can use diff gain settings, or tubes. | |
| The State of Jazz What are now known as Jazz Standards, were IMO pop songs of the day. Any good Jazz band can and does "Jazz up" pop songs. One that comes to mind is Mile Davis version of "Time After Time". I suspect there are many more . . . |
