| Cartridge retip stylus options/Opinions please Thank you both for your thoughts. I think I will be sending them to Andy for retips only. Chris, another cartridge that I will be sending to Andy for repair is a Vandenhul MC1 that I "nuded", mounted on my ET and used nude (on and off) for years (... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Love Hank Mobley; probably the most under appreciated tenor player ever. Great album of, yes, modal hard-bop tunes:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndqxk5J-VHQ | |
| Jazz for aficionados The importance of Russell's Lydian concept cannot be overestimated. What I alluded to earlier re the presence of Coltrane at the recording session of "Manhattan" has to do with the influence that this concept had on the shaping of the playing styl... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Not quite like on a perfectly set up ET2 and Acutex 420, but a great tune nonetheless: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QwVjTlTdIDQ"It ain't over 'till it's over" | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Oops! Sorry; this new iPhone is driving me nuts. Go Mets! | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, that is exactly what I did . It helped a great deal with MM's which tended to have grounding issues although not nearly as severe as with the Decca, but with the Decca it is still a problem. MC's have never been a problem. For anyone who is... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Will have more to say shortly, but with little time now. But, did anyone recognize the tenor soloist on the George Russell clip (no cheating!); and how that might relate to the general topic? | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Inna, saying that a lot of tango comes from Argentina is a bit like saying that a lot of jazz comes from the USA. I don't know what you see, or don't see, in the dancing in that clip, but we will have to disagree, they are beautiful dancers. Now, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Re George Russell:****I never heard of him....****Actually, George Russell has been mentioned at least twice on this thread. A while back I posted a clip of the TV show "The Subject Is Jazz" from the '50's and which featured a band led by Billy Ta... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0zfpp8ZzpwEI can't think of any other "world music" that is as complete as the tango when one can also see the dance.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oB-RS000NLs | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Alex, you can email privately through the Agon system. Thanks! | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Thanks for the heads up re the Camaron lp on eBay; just purchased it. Btw, I think Alexatpos makes an important distinction re sevdah/blues; similar in feeling not form. Not sure how one can describe one particular feeling as more complex than ano... | |
| Subjectivity As Pertains To Preamp Comparisons I don't doubt that your basic premise is true and that you are being sincere. However, do you not recognize how you, yourself, are biased in favor of this product; especially having had a role in its development. This is the reason that one of the... |
