| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge Having had both of these cartridges the DL110 and DL160 I find zero difference in them in regards to surface noise. the only thing the DL160 does better is in overall trackability due to its tapered cantilever, which reacts nonoseconds quicker to ... | |
| Marian McPhartland - A National Treasure I would be terribly remiss if I did not thank Ponnie for reminding me of Marian McPhartland a few weeks back and since that time I have managed to acquire some of her LPs as that is my favorite playback medium. The albums she did for Concord are s... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? I am not talking about vocalist now, but instrumentalist women in jazz, and with the exception of Mary Lou Williams, Marian McPhartland and newcomer Mindi Abair, there remains very few women in jazz, that can relate to other women. Perhaps this is... | |
| Who is your favorite jazz pianist How can we possibly over look Marian McPhartland, one of the great jazz pianist to ever touch the keyboard. It was once said that she has three things against her. She's white,British and a woman other than that she ranks with the best ever. her N... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? During my years in high end audio, my demographics mirrored what has been said here. Clearly my customer base was 99 percent white male caucasan basically (WASP). I had two afro american customers, one hispanic, one asian and two women. I had ofte... | |
| Review: Goldring Electra Cartridge In fact I was looking to use the Sumiko Pearl on this table. These cartridges are quite similar in sonic signature. And if push really comes to shove I would have to give the nod ever so slightly to the Sumiko Pearl. With that being said the track... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Sounds like a plan to me. Some nice Brandy in a snifter will do nicely and kick back and listen to some marvelous music. I shall be there in spirit enjoy the evening. | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Oh, hell my hearing is always in question at 65. Putting up with all the artist and corprate butt drafters at CBS and later on TV Guide. It's a friggin miracle I have any hearing at all, and of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.Othe... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Albertporter we agree to disagree on vinyl. Have far more years in saddle. Please don't even menetion Speaker Corner product with any mention of sanity. I have some of those pressings, well did have, could not wait to ditch them, the absolute wors... | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? I somewhat agree with Albertporter on most of the topics he refers to. The exception being vinyl that is pressed today. While some of the offerings do indeed approach the quality pressings from Verve, RCA Dynagroove, Columbia 6 eye and 2 eye, Rive... | |
| Matt Savage 15 year old Pianist genius Must have missed Becker and Fagan on her show. I try to keep up with her show and guests. No doubt that Marian McPhartland is a true National Treasure. | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. It is titled "The Complete Recordings of the Paul Desmond Quartet with Jim Hall" on the Mosaic Label. The LP set contains 6 Lps and the CD set contains 4 CDs. When found this set usually sells for an average of $300.00 USD. | |
| Review: Oracle Audio Alexandria Turntable If it is in original carton, hopefully the set up manual is included. This one can be a bit frustrating if unfamiliar with suspended turntables. I would say visit www.vinylengine.com website as there may be a set up guide there. If not there is pl... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. I have the vinyl edition and the sound is superb. Check eBay sometimes copies show up there. But be prepared to bid aggresively, it is highly sought after. | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. Also the Mosaic 6 LP release or the 4 CD compliation of Paul Desmond and Jim Hall. Out of production now, but well worth the search to acquire. Somewhat pricey now, may want to check your local library to see if they have it. This edition was limi... |
