| going from tube preamp to solid state Just my personal experience. I thought I’d never go back to SS for my pre until my Luxman started acting up. I’d always wanted an Audio Research pre and figured this was as good a time as I was likely to see. I’ve been using the ARC for about 6... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? As a 60 year old I listen to mostly jazz now which I only discovered 3-4 years ago. As for contemporary music, not so much. That’s a shame, those vintage jazz records don’t come cheap! 😂 | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? Long enough to connect without straining, large enough to carry the required load, and as well insulated as you can afford/justify within reason. I run 6 foot AudioQuest NRG-4 to my PS Audio Powerplants and 3 foot AudioQuest NRG-2 from the Powerp... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Curtis Amy & Dupree Bolton - Katanga! What a gem this is! | |
| Female vocalist recommendations Lots of great names listed above. One I didn’t see was Monica Zetterlund. Start with Ahh! Monica! and if you like what you hear (you will) move on to Swedish Sensation and others. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wrapping the night up with The Grand Canyon Suite, 1958 Mercury Living Presence stereo. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent Man, I bet I haven’t played Willie and Family Live in close to 40 years! Not a country music fan at all, but I loved that album. Guess it needs a bath and a spin in the near future. Thanks for mentioning it! 👍 | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Breaking in the new mono cart. At about 20 hours now and really starting to come into its own. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Yes, I just streamed it from Qobuz via Roon and it was unlistenable. You are not alone. If someone told me I had a damaged speaker then immediately played that track, I wouldn’t have argued with them. As soon as I switched to a diff... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Wrapping things up with Freddie Hubbard - Black Angel | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Dark Beauty - Kenny Drew Trio | |
| What a Songstress Julie London I'm late to an old thread, but love her. I was aware of her, but mostly from my youth, including as Dixie on Emergency!, though I'd heard her singing too. But I was just a kid and that kind of music wasn't cool. When Analog Productions released... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm relatively new to jazz (about 3 years) and was fortunate to amass quite a few (several hundred) records from a variety of artist from a local ebay seller. They were from his dad's collection, and nearly all were in NM condition. Sadly, he pa... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Julie is Her Name and Julie is Her Name Vol. 2. Just got my mono cart today! 🙂 | |
| A public service announcement @wyoboy It's actually replacing a Zephyr MIMC Star ES that I bought used a few weeks ago. Prior to that, that TT was running a Dynavector 10X5. I was so impressed I ordered the Paua as well as a Zephyr MIMC Star ES MONO. The Zephyr MIMC Star ES... |
