| Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music. In Jazz, designating any one instrument as “the most important” is, at best, pointless. Just as pointless as designating any one player on any given instrument as “the best”. At worst, it belies a lack of appreciation for some of the basics and nu... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 The spell check gremlins strike again. In my last post (in case it matters)....**** as should be obvious, that for me the most important aspect of all this is to all issues. ****.... should read:” as should be obvious, that for me the most import... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for the comments, Halcro. Somehow, I feel we are not connecting with what we are each trying to say re our experiences and descriptions. Dover is correct by pointing out that sometimes once a shortcoming or difference is identified it ren... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 For me it always comes back to something very simple: they can’t all be equally good while sounding so different. My comments are about the differences, as I hear them, in direct comparison (same setup, same music). As I commented, the Shure sou... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic Monk! What an individual! For me, his style always sounds eccentric. Jagged and angular rhythmic feel; not your typical swing. The poster of the second comment for the second clip put it very well, I think:”...not pretty, but beautif... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Something I said? 😊 | |
| Jazz for aficionados For me, one of the most positive and interesting things that can happen over the course of a thread like this is that one can develop a sense for the musical sensibilities of some of the other contributors. We all have personal preferences and can... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, one of the many interesting things about Bill Evans and his playing is that he, by his own admission, didn’t feel as comfortable in a solo piano setting as he did in a trio or other setting. If one thinks about it, it is not really that surpr... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Very nice Harold Land clips. Thanks all! Great improviser. That record with Bill Evans was the first Harold Land recording that I acquired after having heard him live in a tiny club in the middle of nowhere in Kentucky while traveling. How much co... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wonderful musician, Billy Childs; and, great clips, acman3. I first heard Billy Childs back in the early eighties at the Blue Note (NYC) with Freddie Hubbard; he was a member of Freddie’s band for many years. With this band:https://youtu.be/BQ2V... | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Simply in the interest of helping the OP who apparently is learning about tonearms and tonearm wire options, I would point out that no one has said silver is better. The AN wire is a fantastic wire; it simply happens to be silver. There are great ... | |

| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Good advice! | |
| Jazz for aficionados That’s right, from KOB. Actually, I was thinking of “All Blues”; but I think you are also correct, the bass line is reminiscent of “So What”:https://youtu.be/-488UORrfJ0https://youtu.be/ylXk1LBvIqU | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Yes, silver Litz. The Audio Note UK wire; NOT the Kondo/Audio Note Japan wire which, as Lew says, can cost a small fortune. There is a bit of mystery around what exactly differentiates the two versions of the wire. Some claim the Kondo is the bes... |
