Keith Jarrett. Not a great recording, but still amazing to watch!
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Yes i use them because a boost in the deep bass and in the higher highs boost the two cells working and i equalize with my dac a dip at 1000 hertz... With the microzotl though i will not be able as a pre-amp it will nullify the tone controls of the Sansui AU 7700 and as an headphone too... The tone control of the alpha are very refined , those of the Au 7700 are very good, alas! my alpha had no separation between the power amp and the pre-amp as the Au 7700... Only most costlier alpha give it... 😁 I hope the Zotl 2 is as good as the reviews... Even at bargain price it cost me a lot... 1,600 US at least ... And it is a bargain with remote and linear power supply...2,000 thousand less than the microzotl3... It is a violation of my rule : audiophile experience for the less wealthy citizen which stipulate a system max cost around 1000 bucks... 😊 I succeeded to do so till now with speakers or headphone... But i was curious of the slave ZOTL about the way it will serve the King K340...

I was surprised to learn the Sansui had such EQ controls. I figured, given what you've discovered and commented upon RE: "embedding" systems, that EQ wouldn't be something you'd utilize. I use a Schiit Lokius occasionally, usually to reinforcing lower mids and/or rolling off highs with bright CDs. Although it involves extra cost -- requiring two sets of interconnects-- I value the added flexibility this set-up offers when it comes to tone-shaping. Still, the more dialed-in my system becomes, the less I use the EQ. I have no experience with LTA, but I've yet to encounter anything but positive remarks about their products, here on the forum. |
The AKG K340 is a very particular headphone being Hybrid... I did not need to use tone controls in my speakers room nor with my other headphones... But the K340 need a boost around 30 and 40 hertz and around 12,000 hertz... It make it even better... It is because the two cells are more responsive...I never need equalization with my speakers or my other headphones too... With the K340 i need to increase for some Db at 1000 hertz... My ears said so... and the Harman curve too... I am not a "purist" audiophile... I use my ears ... And i serve the K340 , he do not serve me; but he serve my ears...
