| World's Greatest Tenors Zoot45 yes,the OP listed jazz tenor saxophonists to get this initiated. . | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Esstrand,The case for obtaining a top tier phono stage continues to grow. | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? Frogman,You are so correct when you say you can't have "too"much resolution. I've believed for a long time that there's no such thing as too much resolution or transparency. The more the better as it just results in less veiling of what you hear.W... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors I'll apologize for taking the thread off course. When discussing music and musicians I can get very passionate and a bit carried away. When someone like Frogman joins the fray I just have to respond to the many interesting and fine comments he has... | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? Chayro,I'd say we're hearing from those people who don't favor the ultra detail/resolution sound and for the very same reasons you've stated. Many listeners do seem to pursue the hyper detail approach but just haven't posted here (yet). The pro fu... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Hi Bill,That system must sound so natural and heavenly. I thought you were driving your Coincidents with a First Watt amp?Charles, | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Yep!Miles played the way he 'felt' the music and via his unique interpretation. He mentioned that himself when talking about his great 1950s group that included Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball". Saying that Coltrane played "sheets" of sound and th... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Hi Tubegroover,No need for sparks to fly and others have said the regarding Mile's technical facility, I'll just respectfully disagree with you on this one. Mile's point was no matter the status or reputation of the musicians their feeling of Bird... | |
| Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness? There's no strict audiophile vocabulary so people will naturally apply different meanings to terms. In the spirit of the OP where it's either/or I'll take fullness. I've heard too many components that in the name of resolution and detail are prese... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill "There's no need to hurry it's not a race" so true Onhwy61.The premium phono stage can be thought of as a strong building block. There's no rule that says that every additional component has to be necessarily expensive to make good music. I don't ... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors "Bird proceeded to pawn it" Sad but not surprising given Parker's unfortunate addictions.It's really interesting that a jazz colossus such as Miles was in absolute awe and near worship of Bird. Miles says even the very best musicians(regardless of... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Hi Frogman,We're in agreement. Here's one for you, I'm more moved and get more enjoyment from Theloneous Monk than the rightfully esteemed Oscar Peterson(how's that for a minority view?)Charles, | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Frogman,You always present a very reasoned perspective and commentary which I sincerely appreciate. On pure technical prowess I get your point about Brecker's status. The thing is though I approach music as such an art form that I judge the musici... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hi Essrand,There's a new review of this phono stage in Tone Magazine that echoes the raves of other reviews and owners (go to the Coincident web page and find reviews).Jwm offered very good advice, start with very high quality components with your... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Hi Frogman,Good points,Virtuoso? wow, really tough to say. Certainly Coltrane and I'd have to put James Carter on this plane as well. Joe Henderson is an under appreciated but massive talent! You could make a very favorable comparison of his work ... |
