Harry smokes.
Indeed he had great "sizzle"...a very nice sound and yes he did smoke (cigarettes) too...

My father played trombone in a big band that used to play during the old dance hall days. I used to play clarinet and I'm currently working on drums as you will see in my system here. |
That makes sense to me. I've never heard a non-musician call it "sizzle". Speaking of hi rez, I pulled out my DVD-Audio version of Dave Grusin's "Two For The Road -- The Music of Henry Mancini". Compared to the Grusin CDs, the DVD-A really is "organic" and "transparent". The CDs sound really good until you compare them to the DVD-A (24/96 in this case) and there's one last layer of stress stripped away. (Makes me think about getting one of those up-converting Emm Lab players). Anyway, every last detail is there on that DVD-A when played on my system. The bass slam, the piano tone, pristine sax solos, organic harmonica solo, every husk of Diana Krall's husky voice, all glorious. I'll never understand people that don't want to hear that. Dave |
Don't try to understand them Dave. I want to hear Diana's breath, and the resonance of her chest. My VK-D5(with 6 NOS Siemens CCa's, well isolated) delivers the goods. I wouldn't think of unloading it, except perhaps for a Linn CD-12, the right Lector or maybe that Meitner piece you mentioned(sure-I might want to hear it first). With the DCC2, it would cost a hair more than a Linn(if you could find a Linn for sale). |
