| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? The liner notes to the box set 'Sunday at Village Vanguard' where your set comes from (or maybe you mean "Waltz for Debby") goes into detail how the trio was recorded that day. The kicker is that it was done by a total amateur student. He knew not... | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists I direct your attention to my recent post on 'Integrated.' | |
| I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon There’s a hip hop cd from the 90s that I play for my wonder bread pleated pants pals just to blow their mind. Guru - Jazzmatazz, Vol 1. Seriously, it’s head shaking good. Apparently it was the first to merge jazz with hh. I have yet to find anyone... | |
| where can I buy a 1/4 amp slow blow fuse? I pm you. | |
| Why are people always getting into pissing matches because they think what they have is better Had to look up the Dunning-Kruger Effect and glad I did. Great stuff there. Sweet quote: The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies t... | |
| Olive Media 06HD Trouble Shooting Exactly what I did. And every single day I'm grateful. The HAP is so incredibly good, both in sound and ergonomics. Ignore the Luddite chuckleheads here who have transfer problems, etc. I can help you via pm anytime. Hint: only transfer 99 folders... | |
| Does it ever bother you Yes agree with taters.Whenever I suffer through a long tech deep dive I ponder my theory: they've never heard Fela Kuti. | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? wlutke - agree. I won't buy from a garbled ad. I always ask them to call me as well so I know they're serious, responsive, etc. smrex13 - yes thought about that as well, the ESL aspect. Fair point. Your example, however, is for verbal, not written... | |
| On the draining of resonance..... Recently Art Dudley, a few issues back in a post I think called '3 rules' discussed resonance. He basically said draining efforts via spikes etc just makes the speaker front vibrate more. He said no spikes and use felt pads on everything. Check it... | |
| Is the word 'Integrated' that hard to spell? Haha the first salvo! :) | |
| Does West Coast Jazz get any better then this? They sound fantastic! | |
| R.I.P. David Bowie Oddly I know him more as an actor. Just re-watched Basquiat for the 10th or so time. He plays Andy Warhol in it, and it's utterly amazing how good he is in that role. Seriously, check it out. Also an intense noir called The Hunger, similarly superb. | |
| 9 year old Parasound Jc 1s or new Bel Canto 1000m monos? If you do get Triton Ones (and you should, I just sold mine, they're killer) you don't need big amps. Good amp yes, but you're just pushing their small drivers. Check out van Alstine integrated. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in audio racks these days? I have a Quadraspire that I heart. Can hold anything. Budget stuff may collapse with your lbs. | |
| Sound Liaison Winter Sale 50% of DSD and 33% off on Flac I'm obsessed with Sound Liaison recordings. They are so incredibly good. The Paul Berner Band release is crazy good, as are the Carmen Gomes. |
