| Jazz for aficionados Checks and balances. The checks and balances of life and on humanity which are like Jazz itself. For it to succeed there has to be a joint effort between all sides; compromise for the tune to really swing. If any one side insists that its (musical... | |
| Jazz for aficionados nsp, I agree with your descriptions of Bley/Jarrett and their respective styles. Thanks for the recommendations; will check them out.Roy Clark was indeed a great guitar player. Another fantastic “Country” player was Glen Campbell who was a very in... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 More detailed comments forthcoming, but Princi and I are in complete agreement; mic overload and all. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Makes sense; original is boron. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Good to know about your experience with Soundsmith and the 2000, Cleeds as mine will need retipping soon. Thanks! Did you keep the original cantilever or did you replace with ruby or other? It is a great cartridge as you say. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Best IN MY SYSTEM was probably a VDH Colibri loaned by a friend. PITA to set up properly and, IMO, definitely tubes friendly. I like VDH cartridges. On my ET2, the best that I have owned is probably a tie between my Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 (... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Thanks for indulging me, Halcro. Unfortunately, it appears that “This video contains content from SME who has blocked it in your (my) country on copyright grounds” ☹️ | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Edit:With the Grace, “when the brass first plays, not only did I first have to process whether it was really the sound of brass and not a synth, but I could not hear as clearly that it wasn’t only trumpets, but trombones as well. The Palladian ma... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Unabashed ear-candy. Problem is that there is too much artificial flavoring and not enough real fruit juice in this candy. For me, this music is less “corny” than it is bad sounding. Early digital all the way. Spatially it probably sounds incredib... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for “Hymn For The Fallen”; always an extremely thought provoking day today. On a lighter note:https://youtu.be/gmVNhgrKnxY(Not very “limited” at all. I think most here would agree) |
