So what? Let the man have his say and if you don't agree, walk away.

Musicians have done blindfold tests and have criticized other musicians in print. Musicians have occasionally done reviews and have criticized other musicians in print. Probably musicians have criticized ther musicians in interviews. It's human nature to have opinions and sometimes those opinions are made publicly. To me, they're just opinions and I take them as such - nothing more.

What's the big deal here? A musician making a statement about another musician. It's happened many times before and it will happen many times again. People have the right to their own opinions. If I agree or disagree, that's life. I try and listen and form my own opinions from what I hear and feel.

Yep - He sure backed a winner in the last Presidential election.

Next, he should lose that bad divot he wears.

Not much there (at least for me), even if it won the Man Booker Prize.

I'll throw in a mention of Ornette's trio at The Golden Circle. The recordings done in England are very good also, but the Golden Circle recordings are my favorites.

But did he ever demonstrate this for you? In my experience, these black & white type of statements are rarely true unless there is something seriously wrong with one of the things being compared. My current "needle" on my Denon DP-500M is an Ortofon 3M Black. Before that, I had a relatively inexpensive Denon DL-160 on it (which I still have on my Pro-Ject Debut). Each cartridge has strengths and weaknesses but these don't result in a night & day difference. Tell me where the glass rattles and I'll play the records on my two turntables to see if I can hear them. FWIW, I once had a hi fi shop demo a high end (as in very expensive) AC power cord. As we switched back & forth, he pointed out these major differences he heard. I did not hear one of them. If you do - Bravo. I, for one, am very glad that I *don't* hear them. It saves me a bucket load of money that I can spend on more CDs/LPs or a nice bottle of wine. No he didn't demonstrate. I believe he was just trying to make the point that there are differences across the board. With my own 'audiophile' listening experience now clocking up the mileage, I tend to agree with you that different needles will just present different 'atmosphere', for want of a better term, rather than 'too much' difference in the revealing of instruments or hidden sounds. For instance, I actually have a DL-160 on my very early model LP12, with a Mission Original arm, and love its luscious warmth and 'sometimes' wide soundstage. I chose this over an Ortofon Blue, which although a quality cart seemed a bit to 'strident' for me. I suppose the Black is the best of both worlds. I do find that whatever qualities are 'immanent' sonically in the actual session, (or subsequent re-mastering), both good and bad, can be discerned and felt on the most basic set-up, and translate between vinyl and cd to a certain extent. Although I do think the set-up jazzbo is describing, would bring out the best of everything as you move up the food chain. I guess more of the 'right kind of power' and synergy will drive the source material to greater sonic bliss. But for sure, the music is the most important thing, everyone will agree on that Yeah. You have to set limits Or at least have the insight to say to yourself 'it's good enough'. Otherwise, you're chasing the end of the Rainbow forever. Luckily Hammond Trio's and gritty guitar, usually sound good any way they come Actually, I once got rid of an organ recording because the organ was recorded so muddily that I found it unlistenable. But that was only once.

After the discussion about Miles appropriating "Solar" from Chuck Wayne , I sent a musician friend a link to the photo of Miles' grave. I don't read music, but he confirmed that it's the beginning on "Solar" on the headstone. Even after I know it's so, I still find it almost unbelieveable.

This kind of shit can drive you (or at least me, anyway) crazy.

Happy Birthday!!
