I must have missed something. Why would anyone complain about aloc?

This just rocketed to the top of my buy list.

No need for a headphone jack over here. I'd like to add a CSP, more wattage, upgrade turntable, etc. I'm in no hurry. I'm also about to move back to VA. Selling and buying a home etc. I expect money will be right tight for a bit. Easy come, easy go. Hell, I just want to justify the purchase of the Lee Hazlewood LITA box right now, but I can't. I haven't bought anything since Christmas.

Lon, If you ever decide to liquidate any of them, I would like first right to refuse.

Can't get your images to display Jim.

Hey Lon. That's where I pulled the info above.

Ah. I'm not home this morning, but I'm now wondering if I always mis-read the handwriting, or it is mis-labelled. July 12, 1964 (7 items; TT = 39:00) Hibaya Yagai Ongaku-do Hall, Tokyo (Japan) Soundboard recording (B-) Miles Davis Quintet Ongaku may have been mistaken for Osaka.

I have a copy of the Osaka concert with Rivers, and the official Sony Tokyo release. I sure wish my copy of the Osaka concert sounded better! Tony is very distant. His cymbals sound mostly like white noise. Ron is clear, but quiet. The horns and the piano sound fine, but there is quite a thick blanket of hiss.

The shit hit the fan when George Coleman left. Tony Williams never liked the way George played, and the direction the band was moving in revolved around Tony. Tony didn't liked George because George played everything almost perfectly, and Tony didn't like saxophone players like that. He liked musicians who made mistakes, like being out of key. But George just played the chords. He was a hell of a musician. Tony wanted somebody who was reaching for different kinds of things, like Ornette Coleman My first choice to replace George was Wayne Shorter, but Art Blakey had made him musical director of the Jazz Messengers and he couldn't leave then. So we hired Sam Rivers. We travelled to Tokyo to play some concerts over there. It was my first trip to Japan. We played Tokyo and Osaka. 'Ill never forget my arrival in Japan. Flying to Japan is a long-ass flight. So I brought coke and sleeping pills with me and I took both. Then I couldnt go to sleep so I was drinking, too. When we landed there were all these people to meet us at the airport. We're getting off the plane and they're saying, Welcome to Japan, Miles Davis, and I threw up all over everything. But they didn't miss a beat. They got me some medicine and got me straight and treated me like a king. Man, I had a ball, and I have respected and loved the Japanese people ever since. Beautiful people. They have always treated me great. The concerts were a big success.

That was a lot of fun to watch! If this morning's play was any indication, I'm very much looking forward to the medal rounds!

That's one hell of an introduction!

Glad to see Darius having success!

I found this, but nothing on the ESP site. http://www.myvirtualpaper.com/doc/Naxos_USA/february-2014-canada-nrg/2014012101/86.html

I've always enjoyed the way conversation flows around here.

Only moving parts? Ever had a motherboard die? No moving parts... Just heat running through circuits. Ever seen a capacitor ooze? Usually replaceable, but the symptom of a greater issue. If wires and transistors weren't susceptible to change, wouldn't most electronics would last forever?

I know I've mentioned this here over the years, but I have a NAS that streams FLAC, internet radio, Spotify, you name it, to old iPhones, an old Logitech squeezebox, and a vortexbox appliance throughout the house and yard when I want it in the garden. Everything is controlled by app on the iPhone or iPad. Still, in most scenarios, I find that reaching for an LP Or CD is less of a hassle and more enjoyable. Of course, I'm relegated to one room with that choice, but that's really how I prefer to listen anyway. On the go, I just use my Spotify subscription at 320kbps. It's fine in my Honda Civic, which isn't exactly the most nuanced listening device.

I haven't used an iPod since 2005. It was stolen from my car, couldn't hold a charge. I know you love you iPods (why do you have more than one), but I have found over the years that CDs and LPs are more convenient, less frustrating, and all around more enjoyable. I stream Spotify and XM through my phone when I'm on the road, so perhaps I am considered an iPod user? Just saw the other comments. The only folks I know that have an actual iPod are pre-teens.

Is aluminum noisier than brass? What other sound qualities does aluminum posess? You described Emotiva cables as quiet as the day is long, implying that other cables might not be quiet. I'm curious how you would describe other cables. What other sound qualities do RCA cables posess?

Are you implying that Walmart sells noisier RCA cables than Emotiva? What other qualities do RCA cables possess?

Here is Charles Owen at Small's with some friends of mine from Richmond. This is from a few weeks ago. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtube_gdata_player&v=z7bLhmn1imM&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dz7bLhmn1imM%26feature%3Dyoutube_gdata_player

That Duck Baker disc is really something.

Sorry for your loss BeBop.

No offense to either of you, but I don't think DJ Logic has much street cred. Maybe in the parking lot of a jam band concert.

I saw an ad for a Blue Note Anniversary concert. The two headliners are ROBERT GLASPER/JASON MORAN. The first time I read that, I couldn't help but think "Jason Moran will cut him to shreds." I also realize that music is not a competition. I just wonder why they would do that to their cash cow.
