This system is is very musical and portrays the entire emotional gestalt of the musical experience. First and foremost is the music. I feel the system must take us into the heart of the musical matter. I really never feel the need to upgrade. What could be more beautiful than this.It's also a high to experience live music as well as to partake in listening to other friends high end systems.
Hi Onemug, I suspect you`ll like "Roger Kallaway Live At The Jazz Standard" and "Fingerpainting" with Nick Payton,Christian McBride and Mark Whitfield. Charles,
Fort, I try to do my part supporting these gifted musicians by attending their performances and buying their recordings. That list of four detroiters you mentioned, I`ve seen all live with the exception of Joe Henderson.
You enjoy the vibraphone as do I, here`s a recommendation. "Roger Kallaway Live at the Jazz Standard". It is a two CD recording and features Stephon Harris(vibe) Russell Malone(guitar) Jay Leonhart(bass). This is very good and Stephon Harris plays his tail off! Charles,
Fortapache, It's funny we seem to have very similar taste in both components and music. I'm fortunate to live near Detroit, Michigan. Yes the city has major problems to address (an understatement) but the local jazz scene is strong and there's much live jazz in the city and suburbs. When you hear the musicians up close and usually unamplified your ears/brain sure learn to recognize that unmistakable sound. It makes an excellent template when you listen to audio components. I get out to these jazz clubs often.
You're in NYC so obviously there are a multitude of jazz venues to visit and enjoy. Do you have the opportunity to take advantage of this special perk? Charles,
I know exactly what you meant and fully relate.While listening to music I play various air instruments like an expert! If only I could convert this talent to a real instrument. You should hear my beautiful improvised vibe solos when(in my head)playing along with Milt Jackson or Bobby Hutchinson,man I`m in the groove. Charles,
The Yamamoto amplifier with the EML Mesh plate 2A3 must sound so natural and heavenly. Jazz guitar chords with their harmonics and overtones have to be captivating. I'd really like to hear how that presentation contrasts to my Frankenstein amp -Takatsuki 300b combo. Oh the sheer fun and musical pleasure that'd be. I listen to a lot of live jazz guitarist performances and SET amplifiers(with DHT tubes) get that sound more authentically than any other type of amp I've heard so far. Charles,
Fortapache, Good to see this fine system posted.It seems a perfect match for someone who loves and appreciates the beauty of music as you do. How sensitive and whats the load impedance of your speakers? Charles,
