| Jazz for aficionados I just pulled into a parking lot in Margaretville, NY. Margaretville is one of the few places where a satellite connection is available for many miles. I made a quick check on you guys while listening to SiriusXM- Real Jazz. I read Schubert’s ment... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the Pat Martino clip, Alex. Fabulous player with one of the most poignant stories in Jazz:https://www.mtpr.org/post/pat-martinos-jazz-legend-who-had-master-guitar-twicehttps://www.patmartino.com | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? Tomic, that is exactly what I would do; right to the circuit board at the four points where the wires that were soldered to the backs of the RCA phono input jacks were soldered to the circuit board. Think about it, a .2 mv signal would then not ha... | |
| Is a captured good tonearm cable better than a high quality one DIN connection? In my younger more fanatical days, when I was borderline addicted to the odor of burning solder flux 😜, I did all that teo_audio described.....three different times with three different tone arm wires. Totally worth it! However, a PITA. In fairnes... | |
| Wall mounting on studs That is exactly what happened in my case above. Good analogy. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, pjw. Thanks. Let us not forget the funkiest sax man of them all; and he was married to the excellent organ woman (😊), Shirley Scott. With Kenny Burrell:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvxWibFr0wiKO7JIkDSpL6WPt2XcrENX-A little m... | |

| Wall mounting on studs If the wall you will be mounting to is not a load bearing wall please be very very careful. First time I put my tt on a wall shelf, the shelf was not mounted to a load bearing wall and it actually made matters worse. In my particular case that w... | |
| To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question. I have not read every post (sorry), so apology if this has been mentioned.First thought that came to mind in response to your question was “Ok, presumably, you went to CD playback when you abandoned vinyl? So, what was your reaction to the switch?... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I cannot believe no one mentioned this colossus album: ****Great record. I posted from that record about three or four (!) years ago. No way would that record go unmentioned in a Jazz thread. | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... https://youtu.be/in5H8Zg4jME | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Glad you added that “other common denominator”. I was about to point that out as a response to your “obvious connection” of ethnicity comment. Putting ethnicity aside, swing is the most important component of both Blues and Jazz and another obviou... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... ...and fast blues, medium tempo blues and everything in between. Many of those tunes on those Blue Notes are Blues tunes played at faster (Jazzier?) tempos. Good call on Ayler’s recordings. Btw, probably the most prolific and most important Jazz r... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... Sorry, again with respect, some of you guys are painting with way too broad a brush; or, should I say narrow? Think of it this way:If “the Blues and Jazz are two completely different genres”, how does one then describe how different the Blues (or ... | |
