Jan 04, 2019	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Victors:Well, I am not prepared to say which is the best by listening to only one recording this way, but I am pretty comfortable saying which is my favorite: The X-1IIE. My least favorite: the X-1IIWith both the X-1 and X-1II high frequencies sou...
Jan 04, 2019	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Perhaps it wasn’t clear from my earlier comments, and to reiterate and clarify: I think that the AT 180 is an excellent sounding cartridge. My comments, as always, were about the subtle differences between it and the other cartridge (the 150) bei...
Jan 02, 2019	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 ** To me....they sound almost identical !! **Ah, but you said “almost”; not, identical to. You did also say that to you the 180 “had the magic”. You clearly are hearing differences. So, how to describe what keeps them from sounding identical a...
Jan 01, 2019	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Listened on my Stax Lambda Pro Sig/T1 tube driver setup with IPad as the source. As always, acknowledging the limitations in listening this way. Two terrific cartridges and nice recording. Possibly due to the overindulgence over the last couple of...
Jan 01, 2019	Jazz for aficionados Yes, it is; the clip was meant for the OP. Timmons was a badass.

Dec 30, 2018	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Listened on my Stax/Lambda Pro Sig/T1 tube driver.Well, I wouldn’t dream of suggesting that the Palladian sounds $9,890 better than the JVC, but it does sound better...a lot better. I really do wish I could say that the JVC sounds as good as the P...
Dec 28, 2018	Jazz for aficionados Outstanding! Best I have ever heard Grover sound. Thanks. https://youtu.be/IyTs63SsYvA
Dec 28, 2018	Jazz for aficionados Well, you guys beat me to my two favorites! Two more that I really like. One of my favorite piano players that we don’t hear enough about:https://youtu.be/klHZuEo0YbAOne of the most insteresting CTI’s, imo. For sheer instrumental ability, proba...
Dec 28, 2018	What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? ** Of the classical musicians I only listen to Paganini, don’t ask me how, How? 😊 Jerry's violin is more wild and Jean Luc's more aristocratic. **True. I agree,
Dec 28, 2018	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I listened again on my Stax Lamda Pro/tube driver. I had previously listened using brand new earbuds which I am realizing are definitely overly bright sounding. With the Stax the MIT does not sound onjectionably bright, but pretty well balanced;...
Dec 28, 2018	Hear my Cartridges....🎶 I think that “speed” means different things to different listeners. For me, speed is what I have previously tried to describe as “sense of aliveness”. It is where the emotional component of music is found (heard). Then there is the issue of how...
Dec 27, 2018	What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Adley, give these a listen. Tell us what you think.https://youtu.be/QyRBAvmUHcghttps://youtu.be/kyN4L7Zsyoshttps://youtu.be/mZVJ9DlBKyghttps://youtu.be/ZTW3ql4cuA4
Dec 27, 2018	What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? ** it was always a bit too slick for me. **And precisely why I expressed uncertainty about whether it qualifies. It strays a little too far away from some core musical values that define “Jazz” for me, Not that the label utimately matters mu...
