| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Worst speaker has got to be the Hill-array....annoyingly shrill and not at all faithful to the original event. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis - I enjoy reading other viewpoints...especially articulate, well-presented ones like yours, that don't take on a condescending, pissy tone (yours don't). "baker tends to default to that same sorta tribal/african rhythm"...I think I agree w... | |
| Esoteric SA-60 Glad to read you got the problem resolved, db. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hello Loomis...OK. Well, I watched the Baker/Blakey "drum battle". With all due respect, I couldn't pick a clear cut "winner" there. Not to my mind anyway. Even if Blakey gets the edge overall, I didn't think Baker got humiliated. I'm not a d... | |
| Stylus cleaner First and most important...play records cleaned w/combo of DIY, Audio Intel. fluids & steam + KAB EV-1 vacuum. A pain! Afterward, a couple of dips of stylus into a little square cut from Mr Clean Magic Eraser...Followed by a careful brushing w... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis - might this be the one you were referring to?"Art Blakey & Ginger Baker: "Drum Battle" (1972)http://artblakey.com/battles/ | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hey Loomis...I will look for the video. I like Ginger as a rock drummer a ton and though I know he (and Jack) came out of jazz backgrounds I don’t know enough to say how good a jazz drummer he was. I watched a concert (on YouTube) of him with Char... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Loomis - another great contribution. Art Blakey compared to Ginger Baker, "like watching michael jordan play one-on-one with Herve Villechaize." Great analogy though I'm wondering if you are overstate the case?? on the other hand, I'm no jazz e... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You’re not a serious audiophile if you aren’t curious how much better things would sound using Synergistic fuses; have even less curiosity about the differences between Red vs Black fuse versions; and have absolutely no interest whatsoever finding... | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Electric Light Orchestra. Was just listening to and enjoying their, "Out of the Blue". Don't really care what the "effete audio snobs" think...so not so guilty, I guess. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks Nutty. Looks interesting. Now I gotta go track down that Jerry Lee Lewis recording (though I really don’t care that much for him). Hope you are back to feeling 100%. | |
| I got my stereo back after almost 20 years! "I really can't hear much of a difference between Spotify, my ripped music on my Macbook or the transport."jzzmusician -Your unselfishness and charity towards your MinL is to be commended. Glad you are getting back to listening as you want. Is y... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hi Mitch...I saw Robin a couple weeks back. Wrote about it 4/22 in this thread. Did seem like he still enjoyed playing. His sound was spot on to the records. He did quite a few songs from Bridge of Sighs. Hope you enjoy the show. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @bdp24 - I did not know you held The Band in that high regard. I think we are on the same page as far as what makes them "special"...e.g., "technical execution that illuminates the composition" = "playing in a manner so as to benefit the song its... | |
| Best cartridge/stylus under $80? Another vote for Grado Black. As Czarivey notes, you can replace the stylus yourself and use either a Gold stylus OR an 8mz. Some seem to claim the 8mz is better than the Gold. They are both $150 at Needle Doctor. So there's an easy upgrade pa... |
