| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, the only time that I have not had the wiring on the outside was during the first two years or so that I had the arm (about twenty years ago!) when it was wired internally with VDH silver. I changed the wiring (Cardas) to reap the benefits... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Courtesy of Chris, here is a composite pic of my ET showing the wiring arrangement. The current arrangement is the same, except that I am now using the original/lighter aluminum arm wand instead of the magnesium with wrap shown in the pic. Also, t... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? More food for thought:http://standpointmag.co.uk/node/3985/fullBrownsfan, I agree; glaring omission, Britten. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, that exactly what I have done. I run AudioNote wire from cartridge clips, underneath the arm wand (secured at two points along the span), then forming a loop from the back of the arm wand to the pillar, all the way to my phono pre, where ... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? I am optimistic about the future of classical music, and music in general. There will always be a segment of the population that seeks out quality music, and will support it enough to sustain it, and that of future composers. For a fascinating rea... | |
| Who Will Stand the Test of Time? Lloydelee21, Thomas Ades is a young Brithish composer writing some of the most interesting and adventurous orchestral music today; IMO, one of the leading living composers along side the already mentioned John Adams, Part and others already mentio... | |

| Jazz for aficionados One of my very favorites by two of my favorite singers. If you have never heard Betty Carter in her "earlier" voice, this may be a revelation. Ray Charles; well, what more can be said about his genius. I can probably do without the chorus "sweeten... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****I have always thought of Wynton and being more than just a Jazz player****Very true. He is a formidable force in jazz today; as you said, "the face of jazz". An outspoken embassador for jazz with a dedication to and understanding of the histor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Branford is the real deal. This record is on my list of must-gets. With your endorsement, it just got moved to the top of the list. Wynton is a more meticulous instrumentalist, but his jazz playing leaves me cold; almost as if he is playing solos ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados **** I think Branford might be better than his brother.****Duh! | |
| advice? Value of Gold Aero 7308s?? I would be careful about selling them for little money before some research. 7308's were made and/or sometimes rebranded by Amperex, Siemens, Sylvania, Raytheon, and probably others as well. If you can post a close up of the tube, I am sure they c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks. ****You dissed it then****I will have to search the archives :-) and get back to you. I am 100% consistent; you should know that :-) :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Why should they? Nothing new about this. The soloist always gets top billing. Miles did the playing. Evenas arranged and conducted the orchestra. He did not conduct Miles!Think of Anne-Sophie Mutter playing with the Berliners. Who gets top bil... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I am mixed about the subject of the "unsung hero". I agree that there have been, and are, many examples of musicians deserving of greater recognition than they got (get); but, personally, I would be careful about attributing too much of the reason... |
