| "Famous Blue Raincoat".. IMO, FBR can hardly be considered an example of "early digital recording" as defined by the grainy, edgy and sterile sound of most early digital recordings. I can understand why it could be considered to have an "artificial" sound, but the two sam... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl I did; as a matter of fact. Tubegroover, I think there is truth in your association. 50's era jazz recordings do tend to have "a sound" that is different from many modern jazz recordings; in great part a result of minimalist micing. This resulted ... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl "Mountain of a man" is a great description of the greatness of Mingus. Slaw: You're exactly right. Listeners have the luxury of simply enjoying (or not) an artist's music. For artists, the music and the issue of respect is very very serious busine... | |
| Audiogon etiquette question "Good etiquette" as defined by each of us has little bearing on wether the person is a good and responsible seller or not. He is there (here) to sell an item; not to make friends. Some of us want to connect with other members of the audiophile clu... | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl Agree about the music, but Charles Mingus should never called Charley :-) | |
| Glenn Campbell - new found respect Agree with the accolades. Campbell is a terrific musician. As Martykl points out country music artists are bound to take hits on a site like this. The truth is that much of country music, past and present, demonstrates a far higher level of musici... | |

| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yup! Need two for when (if) I get around to doing a shootout between my ET2/TNT5 and the Forsell (which STILL sits in the box). | |
| Vinyl Record Cafe's Love it! Good for you, Astralography. Out of curiosity, what is the turntable and cartridge? In my experience, the need for an expensive tt to show off the good things vinyl does well is often exaggerated. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Please consider this an addendum to my "last" post. My comments about not continuing to post about the music stand, but I feel that some other recent comments should be addressed in order to help clarify my position. Moreover, my vacillation betwe... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Gentlemen, I have mentioned a few times now that I feel that this thread is at a crossroad; I had hoped, as I also said, that it would be more of a milestone. Well, it is a crossroad for me. O-10, you are to be commended for starting this thread. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I find it quite difficult to believe there can be any relationship between jazz and classical; other than they're both genres of music****O-10, kindly explain where, then, the concepts of harmony used in jazz came from if not the European Clas... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Beethoven’s Last Piano Sonata: Does it Anticipate Jazz?****In a matter of speaking; probably. More importantly, and important to this thread, a better way of looking at this is, as always, perspective. The facts have a way of always rising to ... |
