| Name your favorite sax solo. All of Charlie Parker's solo's on "Bird With Strings". Out of all of the fantastic saxmen that have gone after Bird, he is still the king. | |
| What is Musicality? Musicality is neutrality in the extreme in regard to high end audio set up to perfection, it's when that record or CD that you've heard a thousand times, sounds brand new. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I agree with Foster_9. It's possible I haven't heard enough by Keith. What I have heard didn't impress me. | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Rockadanny, I have the same problem with Wes and Grant; they both have versions of "Round Midnight" and I alternate in regard to which one I like best. It seems that who I'm listening to at that time is the best. All of the guitarists you mentione... | |
| Why Not Return the Favor? I have to agree 100% with Elizabeth, I've never commented on a system. I once saw a system that looked like an add out of Stereophile but came up short. If I can not hear it, I can not comment. | |
| A true believer In high end audio, an ounce of sense is worth a ton of cents. | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? I Saw Albert King live, he was a big impressive man whose guitar had an unforgettable "blues twang". When you heard Stevie Ray Vaughn, you heard that same twang; this identified him as an Albert King protege. Albert was my all time favorite blues ... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp It's quite true that we become acclimated as a result of the slow decline in performance. A tube tester sounds like a good investment, I might get one. | |
| RIP Gil Scott-Heron No Hodu, he was not talking about you. If we stop and think, we know who he was talking about. The people on FDL know who he was talking about. Thanks to the computer, and dumb talk shows, the people he was talking about have identified themselves... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Believe it or not Tubegroover, my ears are better than any tube tester. I once bought some bargain tubes from Brent Jesse that he told me were as good as the real deal. After listening, I sent them back for the real deal replacement. Since they co... | |
| 4-ohm setting with 8 ohm speakers The 4 ohm tap was recommended, the 4 ohm tap sounds better, I use the 4 ohm tap, case closed. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp In all honesty Tubegroover, I have owned and still own 3 tube pre's. The first was a PV-10 in the mid 80's. My next pre was an Audible Illusions in 92. We moved in 99 and I failed to take the tubes out of the pre's; that's a "no no", movers and tu... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp The last time I counted, there were "eleventy eleven dozen" SS pre's that sounded "tubelike". Are there any SS pre's left that sound SS. The logic of buying a SS pre that sounds "tubelike" eludes me. I'm sure there are many who can enlighten me in... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp Lp newbie, I would not be the least bit bored by any or all of the reasons your setup makes it difficult to have a tube pre. | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp I feel it necessary to qualify my last post. I auditioned SS pre's by CJ and ARC. While I'm a big fan of their tube gear, the SS was "clinical". I think I'm allergic to SS preamps, and maybe I should not have posted. |
