Hi All,I just thought I'd point out a recent act of kindness and draw out its consequences. I do so in the light of recent discussions on this thread.Firstly, Hans Henrick Moerch has recently offered me exceptional and personal assistance so that ...

In light of the above,I intend to turn my attention to my Glanz G7 to see where fine tuning and perseverance can take me with this proclaimed 'top of the line' Glanz.My auditions of it so far have not been as focused as those of the G5 and I have ...

Hi All,They say the lucky man often benefits where the clever man can't. In this light, I must confess to a certain ignorance being shored up by complete luck.Those who follow (and there appears to be many of you) this thread will know that I was ...

Lewm,Miles could certainly be overly self critical but Ascenseur remains (as you rightly note) a masterpiece. More atmasphere than you could shake a stick at and beautiful performances.It's funny how some great Jazz folk excel in movie sound track...

Lewm,"Dgob, You are indeed an aficionado if you would pay THAT much for the Miles Davis/John Coltrane series LPs. I bought one of the re-issue sets, Classic, I think. I also have one or two of the original Prestige pressings that I just "have" sin...
