| Another LP Crushes the CD Johnbrown: Let's really hijack the thread and review things here. I post about another clearly identified Blakey record available sealed/new at a reasonable price that might be of interest to readers identifying the players (now that's become a "s... | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD Johnny: I'm quite aware that Grimace's original post is about the Keystone disc. I never said anything about the personnel on the Keystone disc!!!! My first post here very specifically referred to "Oh-By the Way". It appears that there is a readin... | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD Perhaps the print in my post and Mred's needs to be bigger. | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD Actually, it doesn't. | |
| Another LP Crushes the CD It's later Blakey (early 80's with a 19 year old Terence Blanchard and a 21 year old Donald Harrison) but I just ordered and received a new sealed copy of Blakey and the Messengers "Oh-By the Way" from the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago after seeing/... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions "Too bad that more phono preamp manufacturers don't provide an option for such a subsonic filter. Does anyone know of a high end phono pre that has this feature built in and is switchable?"The Aqvox Phono 2CI | |
| How will XLR cables vs RCA effect a phono pre Undertow: Ralph Karsten has talked about this in detail on another thread here:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1171733027&openusid&zzAtmasphere&4&5#AtmasphereI'm not particularly technically minded so much of it i... | |
| How will XLR cables vs RCA effect a phono pre Mordante: The answer is no. You can run balanced from turntable to phono pre and single ended out of the phono preamp. You'll probably realize about 75-80% of the benefits of balanced operation this way-it offers much more performance, for example... | |
| OJC LP Reissues??? The OJC's are generally very good value keeping in mind that they are available at reasonable prices. Many, if not all of the post '86 OJC's are from digital masters though and, while they are still pretty good, they are not the equal of the all a... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I have to admit I really have no experience with any of the phono stages mentioned here other than the Aqvox (I was an early adopter and own a Mk.1). That being said, I think that providing you are going to use it in balanced mode with a low outpu... | |
| Stones: Sticky FIngers..... I have what I am pretty sure is a Canadian first (or at least very early) pressing: COC 59100 Matrix W 59100-S1 3 on side one and COC 59100B-1A on side 2. No "Rolling Stones Records" in the deadwax on my Sticky Fingers unlike what I also to believ... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I'd fully expect Christian Feickert to say it's different based on his selling price. As a consumer, would I believe it? Probably not based on what I posted above. I would believe it if I received 1) physical proof of the differences (ie. if the b... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I have absolutely no reason to believe that the "Feickert" is a different tonearm than the 10.5 S on the Pure Music Group site based on:1) the description of the bearing(s) and the rest of the arm on the Feickert and Pure Music websites which are ... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ "The Jelco 10.5S also looks similar to the Artisan Audio Capriccio tonearm (scroll down the page) sold by Galibier Design for $750."Actually the Artisan more closely resembles the Jelco 250S (a 9" arm) which is available here on Audiogon for $290.... | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ FWIW, the "Feickert" tonearm can be purchased here:http://www.puremusicgroup.com/cart/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=53for around $400 U.S. I would think that would be a pretty good buy and would have sprung for one myself if my table could ... |
