Brian - a good find to discover Jamal. He's one of my favourites. Such a distinctive, light and quick touch on the keyboard. Amazing talent. And you are right -- always a positive cheerful mood...

Damn -- some long hills there Ben. Good on ya for slogging it to the top. Looks like some chunky stuff on a few of the trails too....you're getting close to singletrack terrain there :). Beautiful...

Moin, Moin! Welcome Kaya! I have roots in your area through my father and his family. They were all from Northern Germany, and I still have friends and family there -- Kiel, Hamburg, Lűneburg. ...

It was the evil toaster clown...

Been travelling for a few weeks, and just now getting caught up here....

Excellent album Adam. Really enjoying it. Hadn't heard this one from Miles. Upbeat, funky, flowy....great stuff!

You are most welcome John. This really is a great thread. One of the best things about it is that no one who contributes here is in the least bit judgmental about other's choice in music, or has airs...

Welcome Greg. Nice area you live in. My in-laws are not far from you, in Wixom. Ann Arbor is a great town. Enjoy the forum.

Josie, the Sugden sound has been described by some as valve-like, at least for their older gear like the one I mentioned. I can say from experience that my C28/P28 combo sounds noticeably more...

Hi Surayne,

Sorry that you're not getting any answers to your question here. I'm not sure anyone has ever tried putting an aluminium armboard on a Heybrook, but I could be wrong. Personally I...

Josie, does your friend have any preferences about sound character? As in, very detailed, fast, light-footed; or more fluid, rounded, tube-like? Answering that question might narrow it down. If more...

Thanks Mike, I will check those out and forward to my friend. Will make for good reading on a Friday evening. :)

Best,
Svend

Hi Mike,

It was the Pure Audio Project speakers he heard at Axpona. He was blown away. And it takes a lot to impress him...he has a good ear, and goes to at least two high end shows every year...

Very interesting feedback Mike. Thanks for that. I'm seeing my buddy today, so will ask him which open baffles he was raving about. He heard them at Expona in Chicago last spring. All I know is...

Mike - welcome to the forum. Nice bit of kit you have there. I am curious about the open baffles. What's the secret to good sound out of those? I have been to audio shows where several models have...

Excellent album Grant! Love this bluesy Ellington sound.

EDIT: just listened again at my desk, and while I haven't looked at Ellington's bandmates for this record, the unmistakable sound of Paul...

I heard a few tracks from this new album this morning on our local Jazz FM station....Ralph Alessi, Imaginary Friends.
...

Lyle, welcome to AOS, from a fellow flatlander. I'm having a good chuckle about the Deadpool reference. Only Canadians get that joke, mostly those from the prairies. My wife and I both grew up in The...

Yup, pretty much in the antediluvian stage here still. FM and AM only. They tried DAB years ago, but it was slow to catch on and eventually abandoned. I think we just don't have the population...

Brian,

I have the same problem as you. I have tried an indoor active antenna with mixed results. Some stations are clear and strong, others are static and fuzz. I haven't found a solution as...

Yeah, it's been a crap winter here. We honestly don't mind the snow and cold, but it's when the freeze-thaw happens, or there is freezing rain, that all the snow on the ground turns to ice and one...

Good one Grant. Knew you'd like it. Personally, Chicago blues are my favourite. I just love the straight-ahead boogie quality of it. Can't sit still listening to that stuff. Years ago I watched...

Chicago blues, by the Queen of the Blues, Koko Taylor, I Got What is Takes:

Great album. Gutsy, full...

Ben, I'm envious! We've had crap weather here and I really miss being on my bike :(. This past weekend we had yet another bad storm blow through -- first rain, then freezing rain, then ice pellets,...

Philip, you might consider a combination wax-oil finish like Osmo Poly-X, which would give you the benefits of both a penetrating oil and a wax finish. I recall it being mentioned in a few threads...

Yeah, you're probably right Lawrence. I just don't remember that, is all. We saw the Preservation Hall band live once...may have been a tuba in there...it was a long time ago. Definitely don't...
