A Special Tweeter

A Special Tweeter

This is the Ion TW1S tweeter module found in the Acapella High Violoncello II loudspeaker ($80,000/pair). As you can see from this picture, taken in JA’s listening room, the tweeter module rests beneath the Acapella’s midrange enclosure. (That big, purple bell&#151the color is actually Porsche Amethyst&#151has a diameter of 18.5”.) Housed in a perforated metal box and powered with its own AC cord, the tweeter module is a completely self-contained unit; it accepts a line-level input from an RCA jack and amplifies the signal with a class-A amplifier.

Russian Spies

Russian spies. Hiding out as journalists and professors. Need I say more about all the shit that has been said about journalism and the high brow universities being full of shit. What a perfect place to mingle and not be noticed spying. You know, it is a fact that McCarthy was right. The Truman Administration was teething with communists. Right under his stupid fucking Democrat nose. God only knows what kind of fucking freaks we got hiding within the administrations of Obama. BTW, the redhead spy is a fox.

Is Jazz a Young Person's Music After All?

Is Jazz a Young Person's Music After All?

A week ago, I went to see Chris Potter lead a top-notch quintet at the Jazz Standard. It was a great set. Potter’s big tenor-sax sound keeps getting more swinging, more virtuosic, yet at the same time tonally subtler. Joining him were Steve Nelson on vibes, Paul Motian on drums, Craig Taborn on piano, and Scott Colley on bass. Potter was smiling a lot during their solos, as if he couldn’t quite believe that he’d assembled such a crew.
