Schubert .... I have no idea what you mean by your reply to my post.Anyway ..... getting back to the OP's original query about "must have" jazz albums...... I was four years old by the end of 1959, so I certainly don't remember these albums when t...

Forgetting about Wagner and getting back to the original title of this thread "Jazz for Aficionados" ..... How about 1959 ? In one year, four of arguably the most important albums in all of jazz history were released. Dave Brubeck's "Time Out," Mi...

Cartridge for Rega RP3 or RP6 in AN system
Hey Matt ... I totally agree with your first 12/28 post. Yes, stuff is good ! I'm simply voicing my opinion that once "the stuff" is all set, then it's time to sit back and enjoy the music. In reply to your second 12/28 post, as you can see from t...

Hi Fred .... I applaud your decision to go with the Nagaoka. It really matches quite well with the Rega arm, and it's a great pick-up for acoustic jazz, country, bluegrass and classical music. Please let us know how things work out. And a little p...

Most of my vinyl musical pleasure comes from small ensemble acoustic jazz ..... for me, to my ears, in my room, and within the context of my system, the Nagaoka MP-150 is a beautiful match for my Rega P3-24. I started with the Exact 2, but after t...

A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band
No Ozzy .... You are wrong. They have been performing full time until a few weeks ago. By far, one of the best bands in the history of American rock and roll. If you thought they stopped performing years ago, you missed a lot of great shows. 
Rogue Audio
Here's another "Bravo !" for Rogue Audio. I have been the proud owner of a Cronus integrated amp since December 2007, and the sound of music (originally through Vandersteen 1C's, and now through Revel F-12's) has always been sublime. Many helpful ... 
A fond farewell to The Allman Brothers Band
Nice comments Max ..... Very cool to hear about BHLT. That must have been a great evening. I agree with you about "High Falls" being a wonderful song and a terrific reference recording. Dickey Betts is a gifted songwriter and a very talented guita...
