The Making of a Jazz Audiophile...Interesting Read

Thanks, Foster_9, for the post.

I feel vindicated, somewhat.

All the best,

Lovely article. It's a win/win when musicians understand the beauty/"necessity" of fine domestic systems as part of the ideal music reproduction chain.

Rok2id, I think you misconstrue the comment that one can set up a good sounding rig for not too much money. It was an encouragement for people just entering the hobby to get their feet wet at a lower price point. You did notice, didn't you, Ron Carter's $33K pair of Tetra speakers in the home photo?

Douglas_schroeder:

$33k!! Good grief! That's equal to 22 pairs of Lsi15's. Us low-fi guys just can't catch a break!
Thanks for the correction.
Cheers

"Tetra's 606 speakers are among the best I've heard at any price. They are exquisite in their ability to render the "amorous whole" of music's elusive beauty, dignity, and emotional enchantment." Reviewed by Jim Merod

606 loudspeakers
Retail: $33,000 pair

I guess this is why they cost 33k. Maybe they are priced based on the number of adjectives used to describe them. For a moment I thought he was reviewing a fine wine. Any speaker that can bring out the 'dignity' of music, SHOULD cost at least 33k. What if you are playing snoop dog doo doo? Is there a protection shutoff?
Cheers
