| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, thanks for the Joe Sullivan links. Nice! New to me. Very harmonically interesting writing; he has a unique voice harmonically. I particularly liked Lofsky's guitar playing.Here's a band composed of some of the best young NY jazz cats.http:... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Tonywinsc, in the case of the Monster IC's (and most similar IC's) directionality as shown by the arrows has to do with the fact that the shield is only connected (grounded) at one end and not the other.

| Jazz for aficionados We can debate the issue of the meaning of popularity ad nauseum, and I could point out that you could not be more mistaken re the motivation of true artists being popularity since to most true artists popularity, even when sought and achieved, is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Go out to hollywood to take a group photo of all the great western / cowboy stars. You may find a couple. They are all gone. Because Westerns are all gone.****Huh?! Strange analogy, but re your post in general, see my previous post; I said it ... | |

| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Excellent post, Al. I agree with you on every count, and can only say that it is a shame that you did not pursue electronic design in audio; it would have been to the audio world's benefit. | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Dismissive? Not at all. I am currently contemplating purchasing a new phono preamp and possibly new speakers; and, God knows, where those roads will take me cabling-wise. So, yes, I think it's a pretty good assumption that those changes will be mo... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed One basic and apparently irreconcilable difference between the two schools of thought in this and other similar debates concerns the question of wether perceived audible differences in the sound of music can be explained via numbers, specs, and ot... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool, interesting and thought-provoking piece; but, with some real problems.First of all, I don't subscribe to the, unfortunately typical, negative doom-and-gloom view of the health of Jazz and what many feel its place in popular culture is o... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed ****I'll post once and once only.****Well, la-di-da! ****And if they don't you know what that means.****Do you really think those guys have the time or inclination to post in an audiophile forum about something like this?
