| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? Oops, wrong thread. Sorry, guys/gals. | |
| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? A few thoughts on the Buena Vista sound. If one uses as criteria two of Jazz's essential ingredients, improvisation and roots in African music, it is clearly "jazz"' as Rok points out. But the music heard on most of BVSC's recordings is actually c... | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV BTW, I second Brownsfan's suggestion to contact Peter Gunn. And yes, I should have written Tynpani, not Tynpany. | |
| Old vs New Magnepan 1.7 vs Tympani IV Cwlondon, a few years ago I rebuilt a pair of Tympany IVA xovers for a friend with no technical skill and who was willing to sell me a set of tube mono's at a fantastic price in exchange for the work. I had previously rebuilt the xovers for my MGI... | |
| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? Second Celia Cruz and Gal Costa. Many fans of Brazilian female singers would say that Elis Regina was the greatest ever.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nsKWQA4sLZg&feature=relmfu | |
| Jazz for aficionados While I would have said it without the slightly condescending edge, I agree with Wolf's basic premise; if not all his choices. I chose my must-have list using two criteria: a bow to what I know of Orpheus' preferred style, and because, for me, a m... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Audiolabyrinth, in my main I use Audionote tonearm wire, Siltech and/ or Nordost IC's, and Siltech speaker cables. In a second system I use all Wireworld Eclipse, and the basement "workout" system has all Cardas in it. I have some other stuff layi... | |
| Cables more hype than value? ****I was looking for an Academic debate, but we could not get away from stereo systems, money and personal opinions.But, as Nonoise alluded, it ain't that important. I am PASSOINATE about MUSIC. That's it. The gear is just a means to an end. I wi... | |
| Cables more hype than value? OK, I'll play a little longer; ten minutes left in my Lifecycle workout (my Agon posting time).****And how, pray tell, did you come to that conclusion? And what 'stuff' are you referring to?****A couple of clues: 1.You, actually, have pretty good ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Rok, read again. I think you have gotten yourself worked up to the point that you see (read) what you want to see. My comment said "no believers", NOT "no(n) believers". Interesting, no? BTW, one the fascinating (?) things about these forums is th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****FINALLY true maestro gets Grammy!****I appreciate your enthusiasm for Spalding; but, really? Finally?http://www.grammy.com/nominees/search?artist=&field_nominee_work_value=&year=All&genre=16Regards. | |
| Cables more hype than value? ****1. It gives technically astute people, who many of us admire and value the opinions of, a negative view of those of people active in high-end audio. The cable lie reflects poorly on all of us.****The implication being that no believers are tec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Sixteen orgasms in a row is not poetry****Oh, yes it is! ;-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****Music means many things and between them rythmum IMHO could be the most important atribute in a music sound performance****Precisely the basis for many of my comments/arguments in the past. I would only qualify it by saying that it IS the most... | |
