I didn't think of TEAC when I began searching for a dedicated CD player. My initial short list included Denon, Cambridge, Marantz, Onkyo. The Teac intrigued me, so I went for it. It is very...
Sennheiser HD-598s are the most comfortable headphones I've had the opportunity to use. I recommend these wholeheartedly for any first-time hi-fi buyer because of their excellent soundstage and...
I just received my SigPros (bought from a fellow head-fi'er), and now have several hours with them. They are great headphones. Agree with most of what everyone's saying about them. These...
Beats out the Bose Triport, the HD 202 and HD 435s, the AT M35 and AT M50. Just try it and see. Extremely comfortable (I wear mine while commuting and studying, for about 5+ hours a day). Bought...
I like Keith Jarrett best as a sideman with Charles Lloyd, Miles Davis, Kenny Wheeler and Art Blakey etc.

I like Jarrett's one attempt at being a folk-rock star the best.......Restoration Ruin :-)
I voted for Jarrett's work with the Standards Trio but I also enjoy his quartet work (both American & European). In addition his stint as a sideman with Miles Davis is very interesting since he often played electric piano with Miles and these days Jarrett can't stand and won't have anything to do with the electric piano, which is too bad because he played the e. piano quite well.
I love them all but I had to vote for the live solo improvisations. I'm like Patrick Moraz, wqho famously said that he was an "unconditional fan" of Keith Jarrett.
I have not yet heard "Testament". How do folks here like it?
Tough choice -- I picked the Standards Trio, but there are so many recordings and some are so much better than others. I probably listen most often to the cd "The Cure" though. But some of the solo things, some of the American Quartet things, I love about equally with the best of the Standards Trio. Classical I'm not sure -- there are so many great, like truly great, classical players.
