| Jazz for aficionados Chillaxing with some Red Garland Trio. | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! I live been doing this for over 40 years now. I think if I have to pick just one item, it’s probably my pair of Amber Series 70 amps I bought new. They served me well for many years with a variety of equipment powering first my Large Advents them ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy I see that’s on Steeplechase. I have yet to hear a bad Steeplechase album! I am slowly trying to collect most of them. It’s not cheap since I refuse to buy albums in less than NM unless they’re just so rare that I can't justify it. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mary_jo According to Larry David you're already 8 days past the appropriate cutoff date! 😂 | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Playing it way too loud at my desk at work right now hoping the phone doesn't ring! haha | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy If I had to settle on a single Kenny Drew album (and thank goodness I don't) it would probably be Dark Beauty. It's easy to find to stream. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @wharfy I’ve heard they are due to being pressed on virgin vinyl. How true that is I can’t say. I do know I have been very happy with them. Some of the absolute best sounding records I own are from Three Blind Mice which are Japanese. YMMV | |
| Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old??? I have a pair of Luxman MB3045s from 1974 that still sound spectacular. As mentioned, tubes and caps are really the only parts of concern. Have it tuned up and brought back in spec and it may out last you. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @pjw81563 Definitely a couple of good ones there. One that I don't see mentioned often and doesn't seem to get the love I think it deserves is Fantasia. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Thanks! I can never get enough of Kenny Drew. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Hands down my favorite pianist! Is that an Amazon exclusive, I'm not familiar with it and nothing comes up on Discogs? | |
| What use to burn in power cords? @jasonbourne71 “This is why people think audiophiles are nuts.” Exactly! I only looked at this thread to read the ridiculous ideas that would be posted. It did not disappoint. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just finished Gilberto With Turrentine and wrapping up my night with Cannonball Adderley in Chicago. | |
| ARC SP-14 tube question Thanks, @jasonbourne71 that's what I thought, but wanted a second opinion. | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? If you’re not properly cleaning your records you’re just throwing good money after bad. Spend the 3K or so on a Degritter and you’ll see a bigger improvement than 3K could make anywhere else in your vinyl system. If you’re happy with the results, ... |
