| Jazz for aficionados O-10, with respect, I think you may be mixing up a couple of things re the origins of Brazilian music and its African component.**** Something had to be added to the Anacondas, Native Americans, plus the Portuguese music to make the music that is ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Short on time so apology for the short response....for now (Alex). Re players’ tones and descriptions of them, something to keep in mind that may help.It is impossible to separate tone and its description from how the player initiates the note (t... | |
| Warm up time for record playing Nah! But, I did like the first version of your post better, Slaw. That’s one; thirteen left in the bank. Does thirteen buy me a piece of plastic? (You just had to go there, eh?) | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. noromance, I agree and that is what every knowledgeable and reputable vendor has told me. NOS TFK’s (<>), whether 6DJ8 variants, 12AT7 or 12AX7 have been my favorite input/driver tubes for as long as I can remember. IN MY GEAR they have alwa... | |
| Warm up time for record playing Take it easy Slaw, why so needy? I did acknowledge your post. Notice the “indeed” in my comment. Yours was the first and only post (until I post) to mention suspension. So, when I wrote my comment about the suspension as a possibility and write “i... | |
| Warm up time for record playing **** Why do you think they have warm up bands at concerts! ****I was not doubting your comments about physiology at all and I made that clear; only the degree to which it might be a factor. You lost me with this one, ‘though. I seriously doubt con... | |

My favorite because it makes the most natural midrange I have ever heard as well as the most realistic sound staging (on a smaller scale) that I have hea... | |
| Warm up time for record playing Rvpiano, as I mentioned, your cartridge’s suspension is probably relaxing during the first half hour or so of use. However, as tooblue and others have said “a little of this and a little of that” is probably closer to the truth. For example, how i... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Keegiam, I completely agree with your reaction to the Mintzer recordings and I appreciate the reasonableness of your comments, especially those about “Lil’ Darlin“. You are relatively new to the thread, so allow me to explain in case it is not obv... | |
| Warm up time for record playing I don’t think so. I don’t doubt what mijo states about the physiology of it all and it probably is a factor...... to a degree. However, wouldn’t the same physiological “break in” occur when listening to live acoustic music? In live settings I don... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Man, business is slow! Takeout only?Birthday time!One of my very favorite composer/orchestrators. Two very popular charts penned during his long association with Count Basie:https://youtu.be/s0igE09HI1Uhttps://youtu.be/5_Mtgo9WOL0A younger generat... | |
| So, I just played this song, and.......... Been going through something similar; revisiting old faves and old fave genres. That was one of my very favorites back in the day. Great song, great band and one of the best r&r voices ever. Thanks for the reminder. | |
| Jazz for aficionados No problem, keegiam. No need; but thanks for your politeness |
