| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp If you’re not opposed to NOS, or used that measure well, try the Raytheon 7025. A low(er) noise 12AX7 that I have found to generally produce a full sound that is on the warm side. And they can be found for very reasonable prices. | |

| AR XA turntable needs new cartridge... Discussion of the AR XA brings to mind an early personal experience in my audio journey. Perhaps it will serve as an answer (opinion) to the OP’s question. It was back in college that I first heard an AR XA. I will never forget the first time I h... | |
| Jazz for aficionados “Q” was one of a kind. Did you say “old school Jazz from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s? https://youtu.be/ldYen3sYVUc?si=VR9WOalPMY_Ctn6z https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBJenJIJrq0zehq8tKd8teZiOSjk2bBG2&si=sqOHv-LqUf-EP3MB A side of “Q” rarely me... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****What I meant to say was Michael Brecker was heavily influenced by Coltrane and Chris Potter was influenced in return by Michael Brecker. I sometimes hear a little "Steps Ahead" when I listen to Potter’s music. Bits and pieces. **** Exactly! | |

| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk , Thank you for your post. You are a very astute listener (I believe you are also a musician). Your posts make it obvious that you have very good ears and understanding of the music, so no apology necessary for your discernment. Quite t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk , Chris Potter is an amazing tenor saxophonist. A technical wizard who in recent times was bested in that department probably only by Michael Brecker. Amazing technician who is also very creative as a soloist. I like him very much. A... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, typo. I meant Potter. 🤔 | |
| Jazz for aficionados I couldn’t agree more with your sentiment, Stuartk. I don’t think it has been suggested otherwise. Having said that, for me, the “analysis” or learning of things like the reasons for why great players like Miles make the personnel (and others) c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ohnwy61, couldn’t agree more re Shorter the composer. One of the most important modern Jazz composers. Some would say the most important. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k_S9vI2ODPguv7DmtgAJ8frd1yj5dSGgA&si=R3g6Eo64dAJgGfPG | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wayne Shorter was indeed magical. I would take that assessment a step further. One of the reasons that he was magical was that he fit Miles’ creative vision in that the music had to always move forward stylistically; to evolve. If one looks at ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados I like George Coleman. A lot. On the other hand, it’s hard to argue with the perspective of Miles, Williams and Hancock. 😊. I think I get what the issue may have been for those guys. As much as I like his playing, I am seldom surprised by what Col... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Before the personnel of the Second Great Quintet was set with Wayne Shorter chosen for the tenor slot, Miles tried a few different tenor players including Sonny Stitt, George Coleman and Sam Rivers. The story goes that Herbie an... |
