That's why I needed this:

I won't pretend to know enough about jazz to know which albums are essential, but back in the late seventies when I was putting together my first nice audio system the following three direct to disk albums really got me into jazz. L.A. Four, "Going Home" (Nautilus). Absolutely wonderful! The flute solo in Django (I think) is what sold me on my first real speakers, DCM Time Window. Bill Berry Band, "For Duke" (M&K RealTime Records). This is a Duke Ellington tribute record by members of his band. Earl "Fatha" Hines, "Fatha" (M&K RealTime Records). Fatha plays other composer's music. The last two are still available on one gold CD. Both are well recorded and I highly recommend it.

Just came in the mail:

In the spirit of the HF thread, I think that you should sue your buddy for giving you this choice and causing you extreme mental anguish. Do you know any good lawyers?

Ah, I understand now. That really makes sense. Thanks.

That's the same reasoning I used with my wife. It works better for you than it did for me.

You know about the side effect of taking Vicodin, don't you? I don't mean that it can become habit forming, I mean the other bad side effect. A couple of years ago I broke 6 ribs in a motorcycle oops. Nobody warned me and after 6 days, it was quite painful. So be sure to be ingesting (one way or another) a lot of fiber as long as you are taking them.

Uh-oh. I think that we may be in for a long night of Augsburger posts!

When did your luck change for the bad? Was it just after the infamous Cincinnati meet? Maybe you've had an Iraqi curse put on you.

:rofl:

Sorry for the spam here, but if you go the CKIII route, fellow HC'er gtp has this one for sale. I've seen and listened to his work and it is of high quality. I haven't seen or heard this particular amp but I'd bet money that it's up to his usual standards.

As quickly as possible!

Elusive Disc also insists on an account first. Fortunately, MusicDirect allows "one time purchases" and I took advantage to that.

Yeah, hold me back.

I'd love to get it, but Acoustic Sounds insists that I create an account first. Sorry, but no.

Another possibility for you is the Panasonic RP-HTX7. These are very inexpensive (I got a pair for $39 a year ago) and really do nothing wrong. The bass is a bit woolly, but it's a nice closed headphone for the price. I found them to be comfortable enough.

I advise you to never listen to neilvg's electrostatic or Voltron's dynamic setups if you want to keep this feeling intact. I have a pretty nice setup and I'd trade it for either in a heartbeat!

With the RS-1, I immediately noticed the shrill, piercing, hight pitched voice and that was enough. For me, the RS-1 is unlistenable. The HP-1000 is another animal altogether. I first tried an HP1 connected to Frank Cooter's amp. I've been in love ever since.

Yes, too harsh. Never is a slight exaggeration.

I've always wanted a SUCKITALO cable. Where do I sign up?

It probably isn't the same, but Putumayo has a CD out called "Tango Around the World". It has examples of Tango compositions from many different countries. It's fairly well recorded too.

Happy Birthday! Yes, drink some scotch. And geritol too!

This make sense to me. It would be easy to have separate volume and balance controls. I seem to remember it being done before. This is certainly easier for the user and assuming decent balance and volume controls, there should not be any issues with sound quality either.

Just preordered the 2 CD set of NIN Ghosts I-IV.

Now I'm the guy who formerly worked at (insert company here)! Sooner or later I'll have to start looking for a new job, but not quite yet. I'll probably start just after CanJam. I don't want to possibly screw up my trip there.
