| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I am a fan of Marilyn Crispell, who is one of the best post-Cecil Taylor pianists of our time but she's much more lyrical and delicate particularly in her ballads. It's misleading to called her a Taylor follower as the influence has more to do wit... | |

| Automatic Turntables The below models have auto lift at end of record and auto shut off. Auto return is NOT necessary as it adds a motor underneath the tonearm, just more things to break and resonate. All have really decent arms.JVC QL-A7, same as QL-7 but with auto l... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Wrm57: "Anything by Herbie Nichols. Hints of Monk's angularity, humor, and space with a touch of Tatum. Brilliant stuff. The Mosaic 3-LP box is one of my favs."I don't have the Mosaic but the Blue Note twofer compilation from the 70's or 80's is o... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Cecil Taylor's "Love For Sale" consists of trio and quintet. Four out of the six tracks are trio recordings. This is Cecil in 1959 when he was still playing standard tunes before he went to the stratosphere, so even if you're adverse to avant-gard... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? Geoch, you are absolutely correct about the vertical bearings at 90° with the armtube, therefore not matching the angle at the headshell and therefore changing azimuth will change the VTA. I have harped on this issue with many tonearms before but ... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? 04-07-12: GeochI see that he abandoned the provision of alignment by the headshell (the only right way) and adopted the Triplanar's method of align the azimuth by twisting the arm tube (very convenient but wrong).I don't know if you saw the youtub... | |
| Has anybody tried the Reed 3P? I am very curious about the Reed 3P as it exhibits clever engineering. I assume its name derives from having only 3 contact points a la Kuzma 4point? I am also curious how the azimuth on the fly adjustment is achieved and would love to see more pi... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: "Lets keep in mind that what you quote from the Brinkmann website is a commercial"Yeah, I know. It's full of their own propaganda but I was too lazy to edit the pertinent parts so I just posted the entire section on drive system.... didn't m... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Audioquest4life: "In regards to the TMD, below the bearing assembly is a ceramic / steel spindle, that has a viscous pool of oil that runs up the spindle and is used to lubricate the spindle when the patter turns, thus physically isolating the bea... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Lewm: "Life could have been simpler if they just made a direct-drive turntable instead"That's what I've been saying! But audiophiles always have a hard time grasping the concept of direct drive that it is "magnetic drive" -- instead of driving the... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference TMD = Transrotor Magnet DriveUsing a ring bearing surrounding the platter bearing underneath the subplatter driven by a belt. The ring bearing holds the magnets that attacts the magnets in the subplatter above. This ring bearing is still mounted o... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I believe the Brinkmann Bardo and Oasis use the gentler servo speed control. Here's what they wrote in their white-paper; it's a little long but it's a good read: PROBLEM WITH DIRECT-DRIVEStudios (radio stations in particular) demand quick start-... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm: "If I start with the idea of no platter, the servo mechanism is rapidly hunting for correct speed, so maybe that is the condition of underdamped. Ergo, adding mass to the platter, e.g., via a heavy platter mat as is done by many, would tend ... |
