| Not impressed We have no basic disagreement. What perhaps I haven't made clear is that the "unhappiness" referred to in the joke is usually not expressed in an overt way; it's much more subtle than that and mostly kept to themselves. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nuts and bolts. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I was in China about three months ago. I sat down to a meal with a very food-adventurous colleague at a very interesting restaurant and ordered, at his recommendation, a crazy dish with jellyfish as it's centerpiece. The strange combination of exo... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I believe that a really good and worthy goal for any discerning music lover is to be able to truly understand the difference between not liking a particular artist's music and feeling that he "doesn't have it in him"; they are two very different t... | |

| Interesting bilind testing of Stradivarius Violin Schubert,Would love to know more details about that meeting. Topics of conversation, personality quirks, food, etc. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, thanks for the links. A very important topic and one that is not understood by many music consumers. Music is such a personal thing for most of us ("Those eyes!") that it causes most listeners to think of themselves as music lovers vs the m... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard and Chris, I have always had a 50' spool of excess (unnecessary; length-wise) clear and fairly rigid tubing between the pump and my surge tank. Like Chris mentioned, the coil of tubing will act as a surge tank. I was able to confirm the be... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice clip, Acman3; nothing like a good tenor battle. A couple of thoughts that relate to recently discussed subjects:Completely unimportant period instrument trivia: Craig Handy is playing a Selmer MK6 tenor and Joshua Redman a Selmer "Balanced Ac... |
