I am sitting here reading through all the threads and I am listening to some pure jazz. The stuff that the tradition was built on. I am listemning through a pair of M3's and my vintage Stromberg / Carlson tube amp. It is simply incredible. I am having such a good time I thought I would tell you all. The music and you guy's a girl's make my evening's the best.
thanks,
oz

I have NickelBack on at about 100db and it's sounding mighty good . Before that it was U2, Stanley Clarke and Keb Mo.

Isn't it great just to sit down on your a** and listen to music? I swear that you guys on this forum are the only people I know that have the patience to do this and actually enjoy it. Most people I know have to be doing something like riding in a car, doing housework, etc. because they find *just* listening to music a waste of time. I don't find it any different than watching TV. But to be honest, I was guilty of this myself until I got my Axiom speakers and actually heard was music was *supposed* to sound like. I've never enjoyed music as much as I do now.

Ah! Then you know what I mean. What I love about this set up is this. I am listening at reasonably low levels but at nearfield. The speakers are no more than 40 to 45 inches away. I couldn' be accused of disturbing anyone even those in the very next room. It's like headphones but better. The baby is asleep. No one is yelling turn it down and I am drifting.
I have gone through 2 weeks of hearing problems. I have a history of this. The last 2 weekends I have lost virtually all of the hearing in my right ear. The left ear has had 70 hearing loss for years. So I was running on empty you might say. The 60's (years not the speakers) were very good to me. I thought I was going deaf. I went to the doctor and I had an ear infection and sinusitus. Imagine I had no pain and I felt fine. I have been on drugs for the last couple of days and things are sounding so wonderful again. See, I knew drugs put you in a more... never mind.(flashback) It's just the music tonight is incredible. I am listening to Les Davis on Pure Jazz Sirius Satellite. I highly recommend it. When I was first getting into Jazz in NY in the early to mid seventies Les was a DJ on WBAI, NY, listener supported radio. He was great then and he is greater now. Sorry for the grammer. I was so suprised to find all these DJ's I knew from back then on Sirius. Highly recommended. The sounds just keep on coming!

Would that be the "All the right reasons¨ CD Rick?? You haven't worn that one out yet? I love that CD. Their best yet IMO. I've been rocking out to some old SRV and Double Trouble lately. It's been a couple years since I listened to him, and I forgot just how good he can play that guitar. I'm also listening to the new Switchfoot CD. Pretty good - at 100 db with the 600 augmenting of course . The new Hawthorne Heights is pretty damn good too.

Oh now you've done it. You've mentioned house work. Now I have to get up and find the vacuum and put on a load of laundry. Oh wait... it's not Saturday.
Whew!

Yeah it is Mike, I have it in heavy rotation . I really love track #2 on this cd. The bass licks on that track is amazing imo. SRV is one of my favs.

Interesting story! I'm glad to know that your hearing is back and it wasn't anything too serious! I can't imagine not being able to hear. I'll bet it's like discovering music all over again, huh?

It is great! I love to sit and listen to jazz and read a good book. TV just doesn't do it for me except on Monday nights. I have to catch 24, about the only thing I watch on the tube these days. Wish it was on cable so I wouldn't have to sit through ads. Can you say TIVO? Haven't been able to justify the cost yet.

Yeah... it was very strange. I had no pain or any other signs that anything was wrong other than severe conjestion, which is pretty normal for me. The hearing loss was very sudden and instantanious. I though it might be allergies. After the first weekend each day starting with Monday it got better to where on Thursday I thought I was ok and then on Saturday morning when I woke up my hearing was virtually gone in my right ear. Just glad it is back. It makes you wonder about that old thing " if you had to choose one sense to loose what would you choose? I know it wouldn't be my hearing. But I am a photographer, so I guess it wouldn't be my eye sight either. Anyway all is good now.
