| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, that was a mistake "Something Cool" was supposed to be linked to AC and a time when the neighborhood bar was the coolest place in town.This is the link for miles, and it's from the LP "Something Else" which was under Cannon Ball, and ever... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Dicockrum, I have stated consistently, "You can not play the cards you wish you had, you have to play what's dealt" after all is said and done, I have never been able to buy the speakers I wish I had, therefore I have to settle for what I consider... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Koestner, take me to your source; the source of what ever made you say that. That thing called a volume control on the preamp that you turn up or down sets the level to the amp. But I know you knew that. If you turn it up, the speakers get loud... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, "The Three Marias" sounds like fusion; I have to get into that "mind set" to appreciate it.I only recall slices of life without AC; hadn't really thought about how it changed us, but that tune "Something Cool" reminds me of when the ne... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I'm sure I have those LP's; I got them at a time the CD was unavailable, but my records are so disorganized that finding anything is a job.That was a very interesting story about Wayne Shorter; it's amazing how the different genres crossed p... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Al, the purpose of the phono is to bring the signal to line level; while a hot signal can come off the CD, it's not supposed to, because there is nothing to control volume inside the PC. The only difference this makes is that the signal is louder... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, I know I've got "Tricotism" but it's an LP by Pettiford I think. The music I have by both of them is on LP's, and my TT is out of commission until I get a cartridge.I'm glad you posted these; especially Lucky Thompson "In A Sentimental mood... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Al, unless somebody just invented a digital preamp, I'm not aware of such a critter. No matter what the source, it's analog to the preamp; that's the only way it works; have you heard of a DAC; that stands for Digital to Analog Converter; but "f... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I got the same feeling on "Blue Haze" as you Ghosthouse. If it had been on CD, I would have bypassed it, but that was before CD when you had to get up, or tolerate the cut you didn't like.Not to change the subject, but I happen to hear this last ... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Viridian, there is no doubt about source first; I'm an electronics tech, that's what I did until I retired. Source first is a fact from a "scientific" point of view. The preamp takes what you give it, makes it bigger, passes that to the amp, whi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not my best friend, but Miles best friend, the one he mentioned in his book. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, at one time Jay and Kai were inseparable; you couldn't have one without the other.I liked each and every solo on that "Walkin"; especially Lucky Thompson's. I have very little by him. There was a bar that played jazz on it's outdoor spe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The "Jazz Pistols" and the music currently under discussion, are like two different shores of the Pacific Ocean. I'm listening to them right now.My My, how jazz has evolved. I like what I'm hearing; what else is important?"Liquid Soul" is fantas... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. In regard to "cartridges" do not depend on advice from anyone. They are far too expensive to get the wrong one for you. You must first go through a process of discovery; that is auditioning different cartridges, and you choose from the family of... | |
| Class "A" sound, as related to Stereophile. Tomcy6, you are absolutely correct; what I did then, driving to high end audio salons and listening to many of the components that were reviewed and rated, would be impossible now. As you stated; presently, I'm no different than anyone living in t... |
