Okay sure sounded like you were being superior, came off that way, and you seemed so proud you don't spend money on wire. I get that you think the science shows what you think it shows. I just think the science isn't complete about it all. I've done experiments and had fun with it and found that some wire makes a bigger difference than it "should" and have accepted the improvement. And enjoy the improvement. And am probably not done experimenting. I trust my own experience more than anything else. There's my stance in a nutshell. I don't believe it's wishful thinking or in my mind. I actually wish wire didn't matter. I'd invite anyone who thinks they may hear some improvements to experiment. If you feel there's no improvement possible, stick with what you have.

I've read that stuff over and over over the years Scott. I'm just not going over to your side, sorry. Be superior! Pat yourself on the back! I'm not participating in further discussion.

Scott, give it a rest with me, I just don't buy into your beliefs about wire. I can trust science to a point, but science is always trying to explain things and doesn't always get it right. What you are believing about wire I don't think is as right as you do. And my ears have backed me up to my own satisfaction, enough that what you are saying seems like bullshit to me. So, pat yourself on the back, feel superior. I'm out.

I have never heard a one dollar per foot speaker cable that was neutral enough for one of my systems. I'm not going to argue about it though. I trust my ears, and not science nor myth.

I've been through all this stuff over and over through the years. Believe what you like. I have found excellent wire (that didn't cost arms and legs) and am enjoying their use.

Don't do Spotify myself, but yeah, that makes it sort of easy.

I beg to differ, but that's fine. Speaker cable and interconnect differences are easy to hear if you have requisite components. I'll say no more.

Seems everyone is waiting for someone else to buy it!

I veered heavily in that direction for a while, then found myself pulled elsewhere (Brazil, "new thing land") . . . may get there yet.

I've listened to about half this box set now. My opinion: the new mastering is very good. It sounds like the best of Mark Wilder's work: clear and detailed and dynamic. Not exceptionally bright unless your system sort of likes bright too much. Very happy with the mastering.

"Masters of Sex' was pretty good! Will be coming back for another season.

Finished DaVinci's Demons. Sure had an abrupt season end! Not sure what to start next. Perhaps the final season of Fringe. . . haven't rewatched any of those episodes since broadcast.

Wait until you really become a jaded jazzer and "Davenport Blues" is the new "Blues and the Abstract Truth."

"Darn that Dream," Lars Gullin, from Stockholm Street, Vol. 4 of the Dragon Records series. Just has that late-fifties cool ballad thang to a T.

My copies of these are earlier bootleg cds or tapes of tapes burned to cdr from collectors. No directly downloaded versions here. It's hard to say where these labels obtain source material definitively. Anyway, too bad we don't have sanctioned releases like these.

Would be interesting to know.

"And then Granz said 'See if you can get Bird here if he's not high'"

Yes it is sad because the three I have (the Coltrane, Coleman and Rollins) are very very good.

Thanks for that perspective as a saxophonist Jim. I've always felt Lateef was a master, and always loved his sound and the fluidity of his ideas and tone. I remember first hearing him: I bought a Charlie Parker lp on Charlie Parker records, only it wasn't Charlie Parker on the grooves, even though each side's label said it was. It took me some time back then to discover that it was really Yusef Lateef's Charlie Parker Records album, and I found that by picking up one of his Savoy sides and recognizing that sound, then seeking out all the other Savoys, Riversides, Impulse, Atlantic. . .I grabbed a lot of Lateef and I still cherish them. Reading of his death I was thinking of "Lover Man" on Savoy's "Prayer to the East" LP. Just six and a half minutes of some of the best tenor playing I've ever heard.

Apparently Org Music has canceled all their upcoming releases. That seems to be the case, places that had them for preorder no longer do.

Oh no! Rest in Peace Bill, Gentle Joseph!

Not at all plausible, but fun.

Sounds like the same booklet! Awesome value.
