| Jazz for aficionados The first user review for this clip. Love it:“A sweet Jobim then fed through the Tyner mangle. Goes in as “Wave; comes out as “Tsunami”. https://youtu.be/JF6KV2v4pqMWith another tsunami:https://youtu.be/pG9UZwczSVg | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, I was trying really hard to come up with a tactful way of pointing out that there are qwacks in every profession, but after re-reading the McCoy “review” and it’s source I am breathing a sigh of relief. I have known many music professors ove... | |
| Jazz for aficionados pjw, some thoughts later when I have more time. Until then, who was this “professor” and where did you read this? | |

| Eminent technology et2 on Linn Lp12 As most experienced audiophiles know, the “theory” does not always jibe with what is heard. In the case of the ET2/Denon 103 combo I can confirm what ct0517 describes. My first experience with the 103(D) was many years ago when I only had the alum... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Very interested in any sonic impressions of the aluminum upgrades (?). Thanks! | |

| Jazz for aficionados Great stuff, Alex and pjw! That wonderful Red Garland clip reminded me of this version. I have posted this at least twice before and it just doesn’t get old. Amazing vocal performance:https://youtu.be/q9DFB0TM1h0Thanks for the info, pjw. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice review, pjw. Enjoyed the clips by this always interesting ensemble. Lester Bowie always surprises and makes me reconsider my preconceived notions about some of the “out” guys. Your comparison of the CTI sound compared to ECM’s is interesti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados The subject of slow tempos and playing slowly came up recently in conversation with a friend. Tends to separate the great from the simply good:https://youtu.be/wsVsUkwvWco | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, which 400 series Acutex do you have? Would be very interested in your thoughts about it in comparison to the 320 models that you have. Thank you! In answer to your question, I have found my Acutex 420 STR to work very well on my ET2. My Em... | |
| Why Sinatra??? I too prefer Sinatra by a wide margin; especially a young Sinatra. Although neither as much as Bennet, but that’s a different story. Sinatra’s phrasing was impeccable and considered by many singers and instrumentalists as “the standard”. The parti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I doubt that there is no connection between Previn’s affinity for Shostakovich (and, of course, jazz) and Shostakovich’s own interest in jazz as a composer. | |
