| Lyra Delos vs Grado Statement Reference low output While I echo Tomjoe's statement in regard to musicality over hyped treble and artificiality, because I have Grado as well; I can understand why many "audiophile's" don't like Grado. "Rock", to my ears is noise. The majority of Audiophiles here, li... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I owned a Phase Linear 4000 preamp, it was quad, and I thought it sounded good, but that was compared to "midfi" and not "high end". Once I compared it to "high end", I discovered it sounded kind of "tinney" and when I looked inside, the parts wer... | |

| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Using the most expensive parts does not meet the bottom line, which is profit. I've owned carver products that used engineering tricks to sound good, but used cheap parts that don't stand the test of time. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Could you find out what kind of capacitors he uses. For that price, I want premium well known capacitors | |
| Donald Byrd Charles1dad, I hope we haven't lost you. Your contributions were important and very much appreciated. | |
| Donald Byrd Paul Chambers Quintet: When I listen to jazz, I try to take my mind back to when the record was made. This was cut in the late 50's, and that's when "West Coast jazz" was hip. This music has a west coast jazz feel to it.The Sound of Jazz: was the ... | |
| Donald Byrd Rok, I think your criticism and critique of Donald Bird are both accurate and concise. In regard to Pepper Adams and Gerry Mulligan, it's a case of orange or blue.While both Adams and Mulligan have records I could live without, both have records I... | |
| Donald Byrd Rok, I just discovered a video cassette in my collection of "Sun Ra". The title is "A Joyful Noise", and it includes his band when they lived in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. If you want to know more about "Sun Ra" and his music, I ... | |
| Donald Byrd Rok and Charles, we are in total agreement in regard to the top 3 ladies. Carmen is my girl too, she sounds the most seductive.I remember Clifford, he left us much too soon. "Sassy Swings Again" will be in my collection, "Sweet Georgia Brown" or n... | |
| Donald Byrd Snakeyp, initially I was one of those purists who cried "foul, it ain't jazz". I went to the record store and bought a Donald Byrd LP, when I put it on and heard something different, "What's this"? If you went to the liquor store and bought what y... | |
| Donald Byrd Rok2id, I'm glad you brought in the girl singers, this conversation would be incomplete without them. But you left one out that deserves to be ranked alongside the one's you mentioned, and to be placed in the company of those ladies is the highest... | |
| Donald Byrd Rockadanny, I can certainly respect your preference for Byrd as a sideman, instead of a leader. I just double checked my collection of LP's and CD's that feature Byrd as a "sideman".He appeared with "Kenny Clark", on Bohemia After Dark;"Art Blakey... | |
| Donald Byrd Charles1dad, you cleared it up all the way and I'm with you. The fact that we are all "audiophile's" and have rigs that add so much to the music we heard ages ago is icing on the cake.Enjoy the music. | |
| Donald Byrd Charles1dad, ages ago, I would argue whether or not this artist, or that artist was the best on his chosen instrument, and I would argue my point till the cows came home. Since we were in the city, the cows never came home.Now, as far as I'm conce... |
