| Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans Chris, with the LaFaro/Motion trio, Bill Evans was pursuing a style of simultaneous improvisation in a trio setting that went beyond what other musicians had done up to that point. The June 1961 Village Vanguard recording captured a group that had... | |
| Reputable dealers? David Lewis Audio is located in the Philadelphia area, and it is one of the few remaining brick and mortar high end audio stores in the country that remains devoted primarily to two-channel audio. I assume that Dave Serota is still there. Dave is ... | |
| ArkivMusic Cds any takers? I have bought thousands of dollars of CDs from ArkivMusic over the course of the past several years. It is the most convenient source I know for searching out and buying classical CDs.As for the ArkivCDs that are burned on demand, I have bought at... | |
| An. Prod. reissues: 45RPMs vs 33RPM test pressing. There is no doubt the 45rpm pressings offer better sound. The tradeoff is the higher price and the hassle of needing to get up to change the record more frequently. | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s Raul, have you heard the Synergistic Tricon phono cable in your audio system? | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s Raul, for what it's worth, the guys at The Cable Company have the same impression of the Analysis Plus cable based on their experience with a variety of other phono preamplifiers. That is to say they believe the Synergistic Tricon cable is the mor... | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s Regarding the appropriate phono cable termination for the Dynavector tonearms, I can tell you that my Dynavector DV507 MkII tonearm requires a 5-pin DIN connector - that is, the same connector found in the SME tonearms. I assume that the DV505 ton... | |
| phonocable for dynavector xv-1s Loreliv, as you probably know, cables can be very system dependent. That being said, I would suggest that you try the Synergistic Research Tricon phono cable. I have found it to be a great cable in my system for a price tag that is very reasonable... | |
| Recommendations for solid core speaker wiring? By the way, the Morrow Audio cables are available for a 60-day audition. Your only risk is the shipping cost for the cables, which is pretty minimal.That should make it financially attractive to compare against the Speltz Anti-Cables or any of the... | |
| Recommendations for solid core speaker wiring? I can vouch for the Morrow Audio cables. They are built using numerous, small-gauge, solid-core-copper, silver-coated coductors, so they meet your design request perfectly. IMO, the new SP3 Reference speaker cables are an incredible bargain at $29... | |
| grills on or off on evolution acoustic speakers? Mike, I prefer to listen to my MMTwos with all the grills removed. I agree with you about the sound of the bass. When the bass grills are removed, I have found there is significantly greater clarity and cohesiveness where the upper midbass blends ... | |
| Steelhead as a preamp? By the way, I agree with the comments in support of the Steelhead's MM inputs. I experimented running my Dynavector XV-1s into the MC inputs (which routes the signal through the autoformers) and into the MM inputs. I found the sound through the MM... | |
| Steelhead as a preamp? Rloggie, I owned the Steelhead for several years and, during that time, occasionally ran the Steelhead as a full-function preamp in addition to using it solely as a phono stage into a separate line-stage preamp. Whereas I regard the Steelhead as a... | |
| VPI Rim Drive I e-mailed VPI today requesting a new belt. Looking forward to hearing how this changes the sound of the system... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Tim, the best way to get "plugged in" to the local audiophile group is to get your e-mail address onto one of the mailing lists that are used to send invitations for the local gatherings. Two of the members here have been keeping mailing lists: Al... |
