| A true believer Rok2id, I encourage you to read Tubegroover's post above carefully and seriously. I think that not only does it provide valuable practical information, but it points to something that gets lost in these discussions (debates) all too often. There a... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett As I wrote that comment, there was a voice in my head saying "someone will take you to task for that". ***I respectfully disagree with this statement. I think it is perfectly acceptable to stretch out far beyond the tune, even to completely oblite... | |

| A true believer Agaffer, this subject has been beaten to death so many times that it is not even funny. I am not about to engage in a protracted debate about this; I think I have made my opinions fairly clear. For the record, re your commnent:***If you think that... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Thanks Paanders, and thanks for opening the door for further discussion beyond the "He's great"/"He sucks" realm. With some welcomed exceptions, more in-depth discussion/analysis of music and artists is sorely missing in these discussions; IMO. I ... | |
| A true believer OK, you true believers; I am impressed by your self-control. You are better men than I. I can't control myself.***Wire can, in some systems, make small improvements***No, wire in any and ALL systems, can make small improvements. In some systems it... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Keith Jarrett is a great artist. I have always had a love/hate relationship with his music. Any criticism of his playing will surely come accross as stronger than warranted. But comparison to giants like Bill Evans is going to be tough (on Jarrett... | |
| A true believer "because we like to discuss"-good point. | |
| A true believer I just don't get the point of these discussions. I, personally, would not spend that kind of money on tweaks, and wire; I am too cheap for that, and that is no indication of wether I feel they are worth the money or not. But, can I envision a scen... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Bnrimal, please tell us what your previous pair of speakers were? | |
| What is Musicality? Thanks, Charles1dad and Tubegroover. On a related note, Tubegroover, Bill Evan's "Walts For Debby" (all of the Village Vanguard sessions, actually) does a great job of capturing the sound of the recording venue. If you ever have the opportunity to... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Magfan, my MGIIIA's were "modded to their limit" with:-replacement of all xover components with Solen air-core inductor coils (Litz for the ribbon and midrange), and bypassed MIT capacitors..-everything outboard in a well dampened wood box, with a... | |
| What is Musicality? Musicality is the measure of a piece of equipment's ability to let the natural elements of the recorded PERFORMANCE pass through it without so much editorialization that it loses the musician's intent. If the equipment adds "musicality" to the sig... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP FYI, I lived with Maggies for many many years. About a dozen different amps; ss and tube. Used the Maggies in stock form and heavily modifed to their limits. Having said all that I am inclined to agree with Madactexas; the amp is probably the issu... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Onhwy61, you cracked me up, that was really, really good. Nothing like some good natured discussion and banter in my book. I suspect that when all is said and done, there is actually less disagreement than comes across in these posts. Disagreement... |
