| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The discussions (arguments?) between Dover and Richard have been extremely thought-provoking; and very interesting to say the least. I think that the well-intended participants who look for complete harmony, agreement, and absence of confrontation... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Nonsense; with all due respect. It's frustrating how the obvious is always overlooked by the naysayers. It's not that recording engineers don't use better cables; actually, some do, and have expressed the benefits. It is that at the stage of the i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ****..........we definitely 'hear' differently when it comes to certain cartridges.**** - Halcro****I have some friends from 'Concert Gebouw' in Amsterdam whom I try to impress with my best sounding records on my impressive nr. 1 or 'main system '... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, there are exceptions to every rule; as I am sure you would agree. Actually, Art Pepper was one, he seldom practiced. But, as a rule, jazz musicans practice, or practiced, a great deal. If your jazz musician friend is able to do what you... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Not sure it's jazz; but a lot closer, IMO. And no looping! I can do without 2:50; however:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5wqplKtzWpI | |
| Jazz for aficionados :-) :-) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Thekong, Richard, I sometimes use brass weights (supplied by Thigpen) instead of, or in combination with, the usual lead weights. IMO, the concern is not so much the possibly inherently-different sound of something like brass as compared to lead, ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A little humor, and the subject of jam sessions. Hysterical!http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Zn-P0ZH3_M | |
| Jazz for aficionados A very insightful post; and I agree completely. This is one of two very common misconceptions about musicians held by many music lovers. This quote by Louis Armstromg addresses this point and shows that he cares deeply about what the audience thin... | |
| Tonearm Rewire - Discovery vs VDH Hi Bydlo, IMO you are on the right track. I also put twisted pairs of the AN in Teflon tubing, EACH covered with a copper braid shield, then covered with polyester braid in order to insulate the copper braid and for aesthetics. I suppose you could... | |
| Tonearm Rewire - Discovery vs VDH Pani, from an earlier discussion; you may find it helpful:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1292035437&openusid&zzFrogman&4&5#Frogman | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jazzcourier, thank you for the wonderful account. I could not agree more concerning Warren Vache; a wonderful player who does not receive the attention nor recognition he deserves. You do a great job of describing his attributes as a player. While... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Correction: "Flight" is orchestrated by Michel Legrand, not Eddie Sauter, who orchestrated another of Getz's great records with orchestra; "Focus". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now for something really special. Not available on record, but what a document this is! Two masters representing the epitome of the two very different styles that we have been discussing; playing side by side. Different, and equally brilliant; IMO... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Enjoyed the Chico Hamilton cuts, thanks. One of my favorite Stan Getz recordings, this is surely one of, if not THE, most interesting of Stan Getz's records; and described by him as his favorite. I don't know how anyone can doubt Getz's genius aft... |
