| Which wires for Origin Live tonearm? https://www.stereophile.com/content/audio-note-uk-vs-kondo-audio-note-japan-1 | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck astewart, I like your attitude. I too think there is value in staying up to date on what the younger generation is listening to. Even if I don’t like the music (often) it puts it all in a better perspective for me, and I have discovered some thi... | |
| Which wires for Origin Live tonearm? lewm, to the best of my knowledge the only tonearm wire that AN makes is three stranded silver wire. It was a given that the AN wire referred to was silver litz; but, you’re right I should have specified. Absolute pain in the as& to work with,... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense The problem that I have with the OP’s premise, as posted, is this; although I agree with some of the specific points that he makes. First, there is the issue of referring to tweaking as “nonsense”.... no it’s not! Not going to go through the wel... | |
| Which wires for Origin Live tonearm? mre28m5, each run of wire is composed of three twisted strands. One would need four runs of the wire; two for each channel (+/-). The wire came from audionote u.k. via their North America distributor (at the time?) Audio Federation. chakster is ... | |
| If You Like Funk: Check Out Vulfpeck Don’t quite “hate” it; but close. I get the comparison to The J5, but not as good. Cute, but very lightweight and bubble-gummy stuff. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ho7796-au8U | |
| Jazz for aficionados Fantastic article, pryso; thanks for that. I love Dexter Gordon’s playing. He was my first favorite tenor player. The article does a great job of explaining his importance. I heard him live at the Village Vanguard a few times back in the 80’s when... | |
| Which wires for Origin Live tonearm? gooeseberry, you may find this of interest. I posted this in another thread a while back. I know nothing about the Origin Live (silver?) tonearm cable, so I am not ruling out the possibility that it is a “better” cable than the AudioNote. Howev... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “kill” = skill; of course. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Joe Henderson’s talent was prodigious. His kill as an orchestrator and big band arranger is often overlooked for some reason. This is one of my favorite big band recordings:https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW8vvvYzB1gEgNj2vdSgKapC5O7qPMuc8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks for the great clips and recommendations, everyone. jb, “Unity” is a classic that seems to be overlooked way too often. Worth posting again:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IwOIVQVVhwghttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rZC7mEzczEIhttps://m.youtube... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A pig’s squeal is centered roughly around 4,000 HZ (for real; love the internet) Hmmmm!......I think it may be time for new tubes in your line stage 😉. Seriously, like acman3 said, listen again; at least for the 60 seconds. It’s worth it. Try it a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados So glad to see Joe Henderson lots of love here. Beautiful player! As I think about it, there are probably less than half a dozen players who hasn’t recorded as solo record I did not like; he is definitely one of them. For me, one of the things tha... | |
| Jazz for aficionados No defect. That is called flutter tonguing and is used for musical effect; can be done on any wind instrument. Imagine saying the word “Arriba!” and rolling the r’s, not in the stereotyoical way an Anglo might, but the way a native would. The play... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** Billy Higgins. He makes everything he plays on great.****So true!https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ubU5TclcEghttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7wcYrx4d3Jghttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=d9u51WVgXzohttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vXUPhR5HQLU |
