Secret info for the Stereophile crew:
There is always a problem with knowing where to eat at audio shows. How to find the good food when your blood sugar is low and you need sustenance NOW and you need it fast. So you can get back to the show, of course! Or, at the end of a hard day running a room at the show, where to go for that incredible Montreal Style Smoked Meat sandwich?
But...to get there NOW, and to be served NOW and to have it be INCREDIBLE.
That is the impossible combination.
Christ Almighty
Since we are all spending a lot more time at home, myself included, I am taking time everyday to go to my audio room and listen to some music. I have to say that listening to some of my old Simon & Garfunkel, Billy Joel and Traffic CD's is like hearing them for the first time when played on a great hi-fi system. If more people knew that their CD's could sound this good high end audio would experience a true awakening, especially since you don't have to spend a lot to get great sound now.
I've been getting into jazz over the last few months, and I'm really digging it. But I'd appreciate any input on your "top 10" (or whatever number) of records for a jazz intro. I've been particularly fond of: Kind of Blue; Blue Trane; Monk and Coltrane; Love Supreme; Somethin' Else.
Somethin' Else and Kind of Blue probably top the list (with Blue Trane very close up there).
