| Jazz for aficionados Jim Hall was one of the true giants. Very nuanced player. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLut9KQdIHDDrVrYIPlZ7l4bWbsqs7Y5G7&si=STboAZeklAmcGv67 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLriPIg0RpIgweZ9bD1lA3F6aoxySomwSC&si=oiHqKRo1tB8WwPLq | |
| Please Recommend some Charlie Parker Recordings! Good recommendations above. Two others of his very best: “Bird and Diz”, with Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonius Monk. His live recordings are generally considered to be representative of his best playing and “Jazz at Massey Hall” is considered by m... | |
| Denny Dias Dias strikes me as a brilliant, but very low key individual. I saw nothing in that interview that made me think anything was wrong with the guy. Interesting interview. Thanks for sharing. | |

| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound I’ve read your uncle’s book, @simonmoon. A very enjoyable read and love the title. He was a very fine pianist (and composer) in the style of that era. https://youtu.be/eHWNMxJhGHc?si=n45Wdfi-gwbrT7WO | |
| Mounting cartridge in Eminent Technology ET-2 tonearm Yes, read the thread linked by Elliot. Lots of valuable info. I strongly recommend you remove the arm tube in order to install the cartridge. Much less likely to damage the cartridge. Setting azimuth is quite simple. Simply loosen the screw a... | |

| Big Jazz Band Music with Great Sound Sounds like you prefer a more traditional big band sound (Swing). Count Basie’s band was one of the greatest; some would say the greatest. Two recordings with truly outstanding sound: -“88 Basie Street” , “Me and You”. You may also check out... | |
| George Kaye Thanks for the spell check @bdp24 😊 @unreceivedogma , as you obviously know OTL’s are great with high impedance loads. The Stax are a very difficult load. From 40-800 hz their impedance is 100+ ohms. Limited bass and volume, but if midrange is... | |
| George Kaye If I’m not mistaken it was the infamous Harvery “Gizmo” Rosenberg who founded NYAL. George worked for NYAL and later kept the brand name. | |
| George Kaye @unreceivedogma , I still have the pair of Stax F81’s that I always hoped would be able to drive with a pair of Futterman’s. Best midrange and small(er) scale soundstaging I have ever heard. RIP, George. |
