It does not have its praised CD transport - but holds its own with 384/32 PCM and DSD256 native. This article shows you in addition an alternative to the recently reviewed 25k Playback Designs unit with 192/24 PCM playback and DSD64. I started with article preparations in February/March and was amazed seeing the coverage our staff was giving to these subjects. To name some: Downsize to Upgrade, Volumio, Radiohead, the ESS9038Q2M DAC chip. If you are a consistent reader of Audiophile Style's front page articles, you may have noticed that there is a good number of articles this year, that cover the lower priced end of the audiophile market, which may explain why some topics of this review had been independently covered and developed by my colleagues during preparation and reviewing. I will run through some serious reasons why the use of that low cost solution in the European summer time does have a great significance for me personally and why this has value for you as well as for the greater good. Not only to downgraders like me, but as well for newbies with limited budget and enthusiasts looking for a reasonable priced secondary system for office duty, poolside amusement or cabin equipment. These are all requests I came across recently in the Audiophile Style forum. While I was enjoying my summer playlist with the Summerbreeze, I was contemplating that this fine solution would have significance. A system, with precious but reasonable priced parts will be outlined in this review. It still touches me deeply today, when I listen to his voice with my newly arranged low cost, high quality system I came to call the “Summerbreeze." A small audio chain, that can alternatively be used at the desk or on the garden deck. I, Jonathan - Rounder Records 1992 - CD/Streaming - only available via Amazon One of my 50 records for that island, you know … On Pitchfork, they regard it as his self-defining and best solo record. Simple chords, clean arrangements, fairly good production compared to his older work, a voice to recall his positive attitude and song titles & motifs with which to connect. Listening to Jonathan Richman's record that late night just left me beaming with joy & happiness.
He lives in Nevada and still does live gigs, for example in California in September, sometimes even wearing his famous shirt undercover. He is known to a greater audience for two "minor" hits with the Modern Lovers, "Roadrunner" and "Egyptian Reggae", though to the younger generation possibly more through his appearance in the Farelly Brothers's comedy "There's Something About Mary.” More about his (to me) interesting vita you may find here. Jonathan Richman, born in '51, was witness of history to the last gig of Velvet Underground with John Cale and part of the entourage surrounding Andy Warhol in the late 60's/early 70's. As a consequence of my then raised curiosity, I decided that it was NOW: the time to buy my first CD transport and that evening I came home with a SONY CDP 597. Which was before I realized by reading the info sheet, that in fact, he carries a big dozen years more. I felt that this guy I am looking at oozes positivity, he was just looking utterly sympathetic and at least 5 years younger than me. That precise t-shirt, I may have read somewhere in the ocean of myths, he has personally propelled back into the attention of Haute Couture designers like Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Looking at Jonathan's face on its cover was a “life changing” moment for me:Ī portrait of Jonathan in his beloved "mariniere", the expression of the French cool), this French navy inspired - usually blue and white striped t-shirt - is strongly connected with Pablo Picasso (another song by Jonathan, better known sung by John Cale, The Talking Heads, David Bowie or Jack White)(2). Jonathan Richman's song does haunt me as well - in an enjoyable fashion, though - since August 1992, when I was a sleep deprived young father - my first son was just 6 month old then - and the CD "I, Jonathan" arrived uncalled as a review sample in my postbox. I did not know in 1992, and after listen to it on Qobuz, it is clear to me, that "my" favorite version is a song that has transcended from a somehow fragmented one into a personal classic. * The original version of "That Summer Feeling" was included in Richman's 1983 record with the Modern Lovers called "Jonathan sings".
