Deck's Like the Wind

Deck's Like the Wind

Feb 04, 2010

Perhaps impatience is my fatal flaw, the thing that keeps me forever this close to complete and undying happiness, but never quite there. I’m impatient. About certain things. I’m impatient, for instance, about acquiring a cassette deck. My cassette collection is growing large. My <a href="http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/cassettes_and_vinyl/">colorful cassettes</a> sit on my little footstool, waiting to be played, looking at me like what the hell. What the hell?

Question on balancing speakers

The Entry Level
Submitted by Tommymeyer on

So I was lucky enough to find a pioneer tower speaker just sitting on the curb outside my house. I thought there was no way it would work, why else would someone throw it out unless it was broken? I plugged it in anyway to check, and it worked! Anyway I thought I would use it to replace my left speaker in my stereo setup, which has a messed up woofer. The problem is that my new tower speaker is about 3x the size as the right speaker now.

This great disc has been in heavy rotation recently chez struts and the more I listen to it the more it grows on me. Trumpeter Tomasz Stanko alludes to some semi-familiar themes (e.g. the Polish national anthem) as well as the 'signatures' of some jazz trumpet legends, yet at the same time the music does not seem at all derivative.

If you like 'Kind of Blue' I can only suggest you check this out, it may lack some of the accessible hooks but for my money it gives nothing away in profundity or sheer beauty. The 2001 ECM recording is absolutely top notch.
