(Unfortunately I got paged and had to leave before Marcy Playground took the stage --grrr!) Studio Seven is a great venue that can hold up to 750 although I s... | |
| Review: Win Tinnon Saskia Turntable Having heard Win's table at RMAF 2008 and a fellow Talea owner, I can only begin to imagine what heavenly music you are enjoying. Have to agree that the azimuth fine adjustment is a terrific feature. Both look as beautiful as they sound. (Hint: we... | |

| Cannonball Adderley's "Somethin Else"... Mono? While I can't speak to the specific albums you reference, I have become enough of a mono fan to have a separate tonearm and dedicated cartridge for my growing collection of mono jazz. One of the biggest upgrades to my system was the addition of a ... | |

| Looking for a new Turntable and need some advice. You have listed many fine turntables to demo. If you like your current Rega setup, you will probably enjoy moving up to the P7 or P9.I would suggest trying to stretch your budget and consider the Galibier Serac http://galibierdesign.com/prd_serac.... | |

| Azimuth observations and importance Thanks to everyone for a terrifically informative thread. Joel came over last night to spin some vinyl and optimize my Talea : ^ ))) with his new Mint LP tractor. (More impressions of the Talea to follow soon...) We spent some time dialing in azim... | |
| A Visit to High Water Sound and Oswalds Mill Audio Canadiandog,The speakers were large Hornings...not sure which model. They were great and throw one of the deepest soundstages I've ever heard. | |
| Wynton - The Only Person in Jazz Who Matters? Wynton is certainly not "The Only Person In Jazz Who Matters"! That said, he is an enormously talented musician. I've heard him live four times and his virtousity is spectacular. I'm not a huge fan of his original music, but a live performance of ... | |
