| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean_man,My apology for misinterpreting your comments. Regards. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Dean_man, at first I was mystified by your, seemingly, contradictory comments. You seemed to be agreeing with my premise; then, in your second paragraph contradicted it. I realize now that you misinterpreted what I said. Please correct me if ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados We can't have it both ways. I think that a thread such as this is a breath of fresh air on this forum (Agon). What could be better than an opportunity to discover and share new music? Personal opinion and commentary are an inevitable part of the p... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Beauty comes in different shapes and sizes. Next to Brecker, my favorite post-Coltrane tenor player: Dave Liebman.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrIfp7F6wR8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Goofyfoot, why do I feel we need to argue, when there is no argument at all? You are reading into my comments things that I am not suggesting at all. Where do I say anything suggesting that the "hipper" players are not deserving of their popularit... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, we all have different tastes; that is stating the obvious. Having said that, I couldn't disagree with you more concerning your comparison of the Peplowski and Marsalis cuts. Like I said, we all have different tastes and I am not about to try ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados If this doesn't put a smile on your face, you're probably dead and don't know it :-)http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=related&v=9MUwb3eNZzE | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Dover, thanks. It appears to me that re coupling/decoupling of the I-beam/weight we are dealing with two issues that, on the surface, may seem to be one and the same, but are actually two separate considerations. We have 1. the degree of coupling ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados About time the clarinet was represented. My favorite post-Benny Goodman jazz clarinetist.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xKGL9MWe8RE | |
| Jazz for aficionados Anyone who thinks jazz is dead just needs to get out more often. Listen to these guys swing their a&%#s off. Heard here is Scott Robinson, a genius of this music. Sessions like these are commonplace in small clubs around NYC.http://m.youtube.c... |
