| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? @neonknight, don’t be too quick to deem your thread “useless”. Putting aside the responses that you feel have strayed too far from your original question, you have received at least half a dozen opinions on arms that others feel “surpass the SME5”... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Still waiting to know if mijostyn has actually spent any time with a properly set up ET2, or any other linear tracker for that matter. Hope you feel better mijo, some nasty bugs out there, | |

| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Thank you, steakster. I am familiar with Plato’s allegory. I do like Schopenhauer’s wording. Regards. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! +++++1 @noromance I enjoy saving memorable quotes. Thanks for this one: “Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.” - -Arthur Schopenhauer | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Mijostyn, as far as I can tell, you have not missed one single opportunity to bash the ET2 in the various discussions here; and, by extension, suggest that I (and others) can’t possibly be hearing what we hear. Yet, as far as I can tell, there has... | |
| What Does It Take To Surpass A SME V? Atmasphere, thanks for your response. Dover does a much better job than I could explaining the technical details and reasons why I hear what I hear. What I hear is always the bottom line for me and the ET2 has shown itself to be a fantastic arm. ... | |

| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions Many good suggestions. However, I would like to offer a different approach. You say you already own 600 Classical music recordings; half of which are opera. That’s a lot of music. Start out by listening to what you already have before spending a ... | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions Puccini is a great place to start with opera. Btw, the opera “Carmen” is by Georges Bizet, not Puccini. For Puccini I would start with La Boheme. | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to Norah Jones. Jazz singer?! “Darling of the Jazz press”?! Huh? I don’t think so. Don’t get me wrong I kind of like Norah Jones and some of her material may be a little “jazzy” at times, but a Jazz singer she is not. Perhaps that is part of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist You’re welcome, Charles; glad you liked it. Great iteration of an iconic big band still going strong at the Village Vanguard. The reed section alone! Jerome Richardson, Jerry Dodgion, Joe Henderson, Eddie Daniels and Pepper Adams! | |
| Disappearing Jazz? 🙄 Not biting…. 😊 | |
| Roland Hanna - Jazz Pianist Great post, bigquery. It’s really not surprising. Like Jazz performance itself, the composition process is often a collaborative process. **** …. If you throw an idea out there, he’d take it and write it down.” **** It is interesting to note how... |
