  1. I just have to. When you work for the state and the taxpayers and when you work for people you don't trust to do the right thing, you have to cover certain bases. You have to ask even if you shouldn't have to ask.
  2. PS: Glad you're getting your own office; I'm finally being moved out of the old carpenter's shop under a parking garage I've been in for two years, a big room with three other people sitting at desks, and a large table where Grounds and Maintenance Technicians hang out when they can, and two adjoining private offices where my boss and the Grounds manager are housed. It's weird. Sometimes trucks go by overhead. The warehouse for building and ground maintenance is right next door and it has a parts bin carousel that goes round and round a few times a day and sounds like a train. And there are all sorts of interesting aromas like paint and starterfluid and. . . . I'm glad to be moving! VERY glad!
  3. Yeah, I've actually heard a Tivoli radio. It sounds good, but I'm sort of always tied to my PC, so having this three piece system would be great if it's an improvement over the one the state supplies (my former boss sort of got me the best she could and it's not bad, it's an Altec three piece from about seven years ago). If my IT department won't let me connect them to their PC I can always bring in one of my extra cd players and use that (I've got a Harmon Kardon and a nice Sony Walkman that I could use) to power those speakers. . . .
  4. YES, it was my politest statement. . . Saw those Amazon comments as well before starting this. I may spring for these, I'm still waffling!
  5. Yeah, I saw that a few days ago. I don't know how to evaluate things said at audioasylum. It's a strange place. . . .
  6. I've had a Pujol Spanish version, and now have the Night Train version of this material which sounds better. Great flipping music for the most part
  7. No, I haven't bought these Klones with the print ready face, but my guess is that it will be like others I've bought: have a flat matte white inked surface.
  8. Hmmm. . .I'd be more over it if they were maxislims! (I use those whenever I can, and that turns out to be often.
  9. No, they come with fullblown jewel cases.
  10. I'm in the 25-49 zone. . . I think.

    Yes, I've never seen the US cd, but it was one that was deleted but NOT reissued as part of the Collectors Choice series. Hard to believe! But I believe that is true. . .
  12. Nice move! There ARE much cheaper options. . .Maxell sells a three piece for less than 40 bucks! But no wood and brass and probably not the same planar panel design either.

    I'll have to check that one out, thanks for recommending it; that trio was a long and hard working one that really sounded great!
  14. "He will be missed. Dearly." Agreed. And alternately, he will be with us, and dearly so. Changed my avatar in memorium. Such sad news!
  15. I'm for it Late. 'S a good one.
  16. Anyone have any experience, psychic impressions, guesses about the quality of these speakers for use as PC speakers in a small office? http://www.vonschweikert.com/fps_speaker.html They were mentioned in a thread about personal planar speakers and have me intrigued. I'm about to be moved into the first private office in my work history since 1983, and I may want to replace the speakers that I have with the PC with these if my IT department will allow me. . . . They look nice, and they look as if they would be a nice addition to my work listening time. . . .
  17. I looked through this thread and wow what great names here! I thought and thought. . . and I'm still hanging with Aretha and Marvin. Depends how you define soul I guess. I sort of define it as Aretha and Marvin.

  19. It's a very cool set. I'd buy it. . . except that I have had it since it was first released! I pre-ordered it! This is the best Prima I've ever heard, and I've always been a fan of the Manone sides in here.

    Hey, nothing wrong with a little mishmash is there? Especially good with gravy. I had thought there was another date, but I was confused. Many pardons begged.

    I think there's enough stuff for a Select really, and it would be a great one as the records are very nice.

    Tommy Flanagan

    Wonderful man. I have some live stuff not on records I really like. I really like him playing Monk. And I really love him with Elvin behind him as well.
  23. Frank Motley did that dual trumpet thang. . . apparently up through the sixties and beyond (in Canada?) . . . . I have this Gotham cd and he also appears on T. N. T. Trible's Gotham cd . . . worth checking out for 2.98 at www.oldies.com
  24. I was just thankful I already had so many recommended!
  25. My Andrew Hill set too! I never did remember to call for a replacement in time. . . and now I have one trio track (I think) that I can't play. Life's a bitch. But I'll console myself with the new Select soon.
