| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Very mystified that those âtweetsâ should be so obvious with the Gold (they are not that far back in the mix) and totally absent with the other cartridges.  Itâs so glaring that I thought: is it possible that they are extraneous sounds in Halcroâs... | |

| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Also after two quick listens. More to follow when I have more time (Aaargh! Some might be saying đ). First impression: SPU Gold wins hands down. Why?Gorgeous and very seductive sound. I agree with noromance, very sweet. At first the Silver gives t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I think that drummers donât get enough love. A notable exception here has been Joe Morello. Many listeners âendureâ drum solos; sometimes with reason, but other times because, in the context of a tune, itâs a bit jarring for the listener to all of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados My dear wife will occasionally, with amusement, bring up the subject of Agon in casual conversation. Â I happened to tell her that I had posted that Streisand record. Â Her response was âIt takes a real man to post Barbra Streisandâ. Â Not quite sure... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Thank you for the very interesting thread, Henry.  Obviously, itâs not necessary, nor desirable, to always wear oneâs âanalyticalâ hat and instead just enjoy the musical ride.  Regards.  | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ I just noticed that the two cartridges are each playing in different arms.  Obviously doesnât change what I heard, but....... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Background usually has value. A while back an unnecessary dispute ensued after a matter of fact reference to the use of production/studio techniques in a particular version of a song. The dispute arose because the reference was interpreted as bein... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Loved the Paolo Conte clips, mary_jo.  Salma Hayek and Ashley Judd!!!  That clip almost killed me.  | |
| Jazz for aficionados I like the socks. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ This time on iPad instead of iPhone; same earbuds. Was hoping to listen on my Stax Lambdas/tube driver but discovered that my mini plug to RCA cable is at my sonâs place; maybe next time. Listened to Palladian then Victor. Palladian:There is a bas... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Thatâs for sure.  Happy day after Thanksgiving!  | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ I donât think so; at all.  Itâs very simple, really.  Unless it is a total coincidence that I heard certain sonic traits that are similar to what Halcro hears on his system, or Halcro is lying, then the exercise can have value as âa starting point... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....đ¶ Yeah, itâs you đ.  Kidding, of course.  Judging?  Hardly.  I donât think anyone here will take any perceived traits or differences as being anything even close to the last word.  What IS interesting is how some traits and consistencies can be perc... |
