| Can I run my Amp from a Line Conditioner? I am, frankly, shocked that RGPC would make the claim that Bob's unfortunate experience would prove false (along with a number of others'). Suppose they would replace your power amp if such occured after making this claim? Um, prolly not......OK, ... | |
| McCormack DNA amp options.... Labtec sez: "In particular, you can now get the Plitron toroid transformer for the .5 which significantly improves bass performance (among other things) and makes the .5 seem even more powerful."Is this a fact? I notice the website says it availal... | |
| turntable mat- helpful, harmful, or doesn't matter So it is the installation of the tan berber in place of the green Saxony that makes my TT sound so nice now. And all the time I thought it was the Shelter 501. My bad.... :-O | |
| Tube Phono Stage to replace hybrid onboard ooops, of course I meant tubed, not tuned, amplification. | |
| Did anybody see Miles Davis on Bravo? Yes, I saw the entire thing and thought it generally well-balanced, though I would have liked to have seen a bit more detail with respect to certain recordings and "style" changes and a bit less of his ex-wives. On the other hand, they didn't beat... | |
| Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players Muzikat, Jconder - care to share a tasty title or two with respect to Ray Bryant? | |
| Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players Scott, hopefully this thread will constitute the fan club and perhaps others will remove the "under" portion of the underappreciated label. Garner played with a fluidity and "cheerfulness" that I find somewhat unrivaled. And, he was a wonderful ma... | |
| Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players Scott, I hate to nitpick. OK, I love to nitpick! :-) Do you think Erroll Garner is under appreciated? I think this a case where you would be gladly mistaken, no? If he is under appreciated it is a situation that deserves much publicity. I would ha... | |
| Laid back, mellow, sax/jazz Scott, thanks. I am aware that there are two additional tracks on the CD version. Having taken some effort to track down the LP, I have as yet been unable to find a copy of the CD. I would be obliged to anyone who can afford me the opportunity to ... | |
| Laid back, mellow, sax/jazz As always, Scott's suggestions are like "money in the bank". Here's another one that I would HIGHLY recommend:ART PEPPER"The Art of the Ballad"Prestige PRCD-11010-2BTW, I recently acquired the Leviev "Shoes of the Fisherman" recording on vinyl. It... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Anyone who says no is either unconsiously wealthy or a liar! :-) | |
| To "Step up", or not? For what it is worth, I have a Kora Eclipse preamp. It is a hybrid. The MC phono stage is reated at 55db gain, the line stage output at 25db. I was, at first, hesitant about whether I would have enough gain for the Shelter 501 Mk11 I bought. Suffi... | |
| Setting VTA on a new Shelter 901? Nnauber- This is revealing to me, since I have a 501 MkII with about 40 hours on it, thus far. I started with the VTA about the same 1.5 degrees "butt-down", upon general recommedations from others. I have since raised the VTA of my Nottingham Spa... | |
| What is the best pressing of Ravel's Bolero Ok, the first I have is:Eugene Ormandy/Philadelphia Orchestra: Columbia Records; MS7673. It has Massenet-LeCid and Falla - Three Cornered-Hat on the flip side.The second is London Festival Orchestra conducted by Stanley Black: London Phase 4 recor... | |
| What is the best pressing of Ravel's Bolero I posted this question once before and got about the same information, Pkemery. I have two copies, both very nice, but different. I enjoy each. When I get home to night I will list their "particulars".In th emenatime here is one that was suggested... |
