Schumann Resonator

I’ve seen Pat Metheny/PM Group probably 8-10 times (including the disastrous Orchestrion tour) and have at least 12 albums, the majority on vinyl.

I wouldn’t say favorite though....that has to be Donald Fagen, never to tour again solo, only as Steely Dan. R.I.P Walter Becker. 15+ concerts and every single original SD or DF album (no greatest hits that kill album themes-except Alive in America) released in the US on vinyl, and the other handful on CD. Maybe 15 albums.... Never miss a tour. Hopefully he’ll come out when the venues open to capacity. Even bought his book and met him briefly. He’s not the warmest and fuzziest....

"In several carvings was shown the Schumann Generator Coil, a spiral circle created by a single line."

How do you know it was a Schumann Generator Coil and not, for example, pig's tail or something third?

MC -- I don't know if my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Dual Horn speakers are the reason.  I suppose I could try the SR's in my Theater Room where I have Tekton Double Impact In Wall speakers to see what the results are there.  

Mahgist -- I will look into your additional tweaks.

Sokogear - The early Pat Metheny was better than his later stuff.  He is such a great guitarist and great to listen to.  I also Love Michael Hedges RIP, Kaki King, Al DiMeola, Explosions in the Sky for guitar rock, John McLaughlin to name a few.  

@willgolf - true about Pat Metheny, but that is true about almost everyone, except maybe Neil Young. Although Pat's newest double album from last year is very reminiscent of his early incredible albums. Not "experimental" at all.

I've heard of Al DiMeola. I'll have to check him out. Never heard of the others - I'll check them out too. It's hard for me to listen to new groups unless they happen to be on Sirius when I drive my wife's car and they allow their songs on the Real Jazz or Watercolors stations. It's hard to roll the dice for $25 for vinyl if I'm not sure I'll like it and play it. The last new one I checked out was John Scofield, who was recommended by my brother in law. It was pleasant/nice enough, but nothing special. I considered him a poor man's Larry Carlton (who also is not a favorite, but since he recorded with Steely Dan for a while back in the day I have a few of his CDs, which rarely get played).

For me other jazz guitar favorites are Earl Klugh, George Benson and Lee Ritenour. As far as rock, Mark Knopfler/Dire Straits, Steve Howe/Yes, Brian May/Queen and of course Clapton are at the top of my list.

Please don't forget the GOAT who most (at least the jazz guys) claim to be their idol, Wes Montgomery (R.I.P.). His collaboration albums with Milt Jackson and Jimmy Smith are 2 of my favorite albums. Also his recording with Miles' band, Full House is incredible.

For those who need to learn discernment in such matters, I offer my latest article at Dagogo.com, "Audiophile Law: Burn In Test Redux", wherein I show that this kind of activity is a waste of time and leads to poorer system building.
