| Stan Getz 1953-54 Norgran set on Mosaic vinyl? I'm a big Stan Getz fan and I love this set. Typical first class job by Mosaic. I don't have any of the originals to compare sonically but the sound seems remarkable given the vintage of the recordings. | |
| Brad Mehldau Agree with Goldmanjay -- start with the 'Art of The Trio' cycle. "Largo", "Trio Live" and "Live At Marciac" are also excellent. He tours extensively, so take the opportunity to hear him live. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... There were only 550 copies of the Calexico 'Road Atlas' vinyl set released in the US and they sold out quickly. On Ebay for ungodly prices. I haven't opened mine yet...I agree about the Atlas Sound 'Parallax' LP. Sort of a continuation of Deerhunt... | |

| Old Benz Micro vs. Benz Micro S I have heard both in my system. IMO, the LPS is not an evolutionary upgrade from the LP. It is an entirely different and much better cartridge. I'd say to go for it. | |
| Using Test LP - curious observations As always, wise advice from Doug! | |
| My experience at Acoustic Image I had a very similar experience with Elliot. Great demo and extremely nice person. | |
| Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi? Theodore Leavitt famously told his MBA students that "People don't want a 1/4" drill. They want a 1/4" hole." My audio system is simply the tool required to enjoy my music collection. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Peterayer alludes to interesting questions: Is speed stability THE most important turntable parameter?Is there a degree of speed stability below which variations become inaudible? Is this something that could be tested with reproducible results?Ho... | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s Dre does a great job summarizing what I hear in these two cartridges. The key is deciding for your taste and your system which would work best. Stringreen is also correct: the LPS is one heavy cartridge! | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s Well both are very good cartridges and the share a 'house sound'. In my system, with my tastes, I preferred the LPS. I'll be interested to see what others have to say... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Another vote for the vintage Western Electric speakers in the Silbatone room. A friend said they sounded much better at a recent show.I was also very impressed by the DeVore Orangutan speakers | |
| Help Me Build a Vinyl System Raul asks a very important question. My response to your answer is to suggest that you sit down, take a deep breath and do nothing for now. Let me explain...I'm a vinylphile; I love absolutely everything about records. I love shopping for them, cl... | |
