| Next upgrade I hate to repeat myself, but since I don't have anything else to do, and you like to listen; I will.When choosing a cartridge, take careful note of the reviewer's choice of music. If the reviewer's choice of music and yours are compatible; then th... | |
| Best Jazz pianist In addition to Foster_9's list; Bobby Timmons, Sonny Clark, McCoy Tyner,Red Garland, Bud Powell, and Hank Jones. | |
| Are audiophiles people of sound prejudice? No, not exactly. Different genres of music sound best on different systems. Extreme audiophile's systems highlight the music and certain aspects of that music they like best. This is most apparent in choice of cartridge. Someone who likes female j... | |
| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. Now I have the Music Streamer II, so what's my next step on the upgrade path? | |
| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day Yes, I have a number of LP's with Jimmy McGriff. Hank Crawford and Jimmy, Gene Ammons and Jimmy, plus I've seen him live. | |
| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. What's the best computer for an audiophile. Does one computer have a better master clock than another? | |
| How selective are you? My new method for buying music is to review it on "Youtube" first. That's given me 100% satisfaction. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? I'm not into that "uber" quality thing. All I can say is that LP's are better than early CD's.The worlds greatest musicians have recorded stuff that belongs in the dumpster. You have to be very specific and only get the music you know about, as op... | |
| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. According to a "Geek" I know, no such device exists. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? I have "The complete Blue Note Recordings of The Tina Brooks Quintets" on Mosaic LP's. This is "World Music" with Regina Carter. She can come out of many different bags, although this is the first time I saw her play world music. I liked the compo... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy "Brand Synergy" = "House sound" and that hasn't worked for me. In general, I like ARC amps and CJ pre's, and now I own neither in my listening room; but in order to get the sound that I like, as opposed to what they think is best, separate brands ... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Yes, it doesn't seem to work very well. Fortunately, the center channel, plus right and left are where they are supposed to be; but I just checked "balance" and it doesn't seem to work. Since this is in the bedroom as opposed to the listening room... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Nobody wants to part with their PV-12, including yours truly. In some ways they are better. CJ was known for the CJ glow back in the day. Their adds were photographs of sax, trumpet, trombone, across a piano. Jazz saxes were "saxier" and trombones... | |

| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Rok2id is not the jazz lover he pretends to be. If he was, he would have at least commented, and possibly applauded some of the gems I presented on "Youtube".If you notice, he's put everything down, and hasn't put up one single example of what "fl... |
