| Jazz for aficionados A strong case could be made for the idea that this law (“rule”) is itself, and in fact, “digging a little deeper”…unless shown otherwise 😊. My example of one exception to the law; one of the great unsung players: | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? **** If I were to follow the Instructions in a Cabinet Makers Text Book and apply a Heritage Coating such as a Shellac Finish on to an Item of Ikea Designed and Produced furniture. I fail to see how this can not acceptably present itself as a comp... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Doesn’t hold a candle to KOB. ☺️ | |
| Jazz for aficionados Maybe it’s me. Interaction on an Internet forum is necessarily very limited and the anonymity that is part of it all changes all the usual “rules” of human interaction. In spite of all that I find it odd, even a little disappointing, that O-10’s ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dion to Coltrane “Live At Birdland”. Love it! | |

| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? The Decca cartridges are something special. My experience has been that even the “lowly” Decca London conveyed certain aspects of musical sound with a realism that no other cartridge I have owned could. | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @mikelavigne, sorry about your decision to no longer post and I hope that it applies to this thread only. Your comments are always appreciated. I respect and enjoy your approach to this hobby with its emphasis on trusting one’s ears. I understan... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Glad you have come around to appreciate the greatness of KOB. Incredibly important recording; a real game changer. I remember the disputes here over KOB and the dismissal of it simply because it has become an audiophile fave. I’ll take my chances ... |
