| Best CD To fulfill the 'jazz' category,an easy pick for best sound quality,'Dick Hyman-From the Age of Swing' on reference recordings,in HDCD.It is of such a calibre of quality that you,(or I do anyway)perceive that you can 'feel' the chuffing out the bel... | |
| Great Cello music Part 2 Russell,I think the one I'll recommend could 'kinda,sorta' be considered 'straddling jazz and classical'.Anyway,it is very enjoyable,ImhO. 'YO YO MA Plays ENNIO MORRICONE'.It is Yo Yo with the Rome Symphony Orchestra,and it is 'a hoot',I think. | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Surprising to me that no 'old pfarts'(remember Carrol O'Connor's 'Music for....')mentioned,just for the resonant beauty of the voices,Ed Ames,solo,and Brook Benton. Cheers...D4W. | |
| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Andrewdoan,I am on Lisinopril and Simvastatin.Same thing happened to me for first week or so.I felt absolutely drained of energy.My Doc said start taking the pills before bed instead of the a.m. Also, someone said I needed a vitamin 'd' supplement... | |
| Favorite Telarc releases..... Since you left music type open,may I mention Ray Brown,'Live at Scullers',and'Don't Get Sassy'. | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. Gawdbless,you being a pianist,or piano player,this is easy.First for some great 'bebop' class of 'jazz',with excellent drum work,I recommend a listen to Alan Broadbent,'Personal Standards'.Next,David Hazeltine,'Classic Trio',and David Hazeltine,'M... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE's Dseid,apology accepted.I actually consider the 2ce very good speakers,not that I am a 'qualified' audiophile,however.I do know what sounds good ImhO.I have heard a myriad of speaker brands and models.To you and Pubul57,I apologize for offending yo... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE's P.S Dseid.The o.p. also had, per his post, not yet bought the 'Vandies'.My intent at the time was to mention that,since the Polks are in the same price range,he might find it useful to take a listen to Polks.And lest you feel overly offended by a ... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE's Dseid,I re-read my response,searching (in vain as it turns out)for where I stated that I was a "Vandy hater". I don't know of any objects that I 'hate'.Certain people, now thats a different story.At any rate I don't hate you for criticizing me.I w... | |
| Jazz Piano Trio / Spanish Guitar p.s.,another excellent one is Junior Mance with different people over the years.A favorite is,Junior Mance Trio,Blue Mance.Excellent sound quality also. | |
| Jazz Piano Trio / Spanish Guitar Great examples already given,but just a couple more very good ones ImhO I did not see in the mix: Alan Broadbent Trio,Personal Standards,and David Hazeltine Trio,Classic Trio.Both are excellent sound quality on cd.Oh,yeah,one more excellent one,so... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE's Wyldelee,I have a pair of 2ce,run with a NAD c372.I also have a pair of Polk Lsi15,run with the same NAD.I also run both sometimes with a 'pro' amp,300wpc.Just my story, (but I'm sticking to it)but ImhO,the Polks best the Vandersteen by an appreci... | |
| opine please,and thanks Rcprince,thanks again for the follow-up.I really would not be able to hear them first,so I will just put it out of my mind,and continue on my search for an affordable speaker to best the Lsi15.Thanks much........Double4w. | |
| opine please,and thanks Rcprince,thanks.No I have not heard the SDA-SRS.I have just read much about them.I appreciate your thoughts since you have apparently heard both.Yes the Lsi15 is IMhO a very good speaker,and I have heard many modern popular speakers more pricey.Th... | |
