| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? +1 for Tony Williams and Billy Cobham. Also for Jimmie Cobb, who lives in my area (if he hasn’t passed) and can be heard on KOB. if we start listing excellent jazz and rock drummers, this will be a long thread. | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Bernard Purdie ? One of my friends who played drums with rock bands as a side line idolized him. | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? I agree it’s not audible as “mistracking” necessarily. That was my point. | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Morello seems to lay back until the last millisecond and then let loose with a meticulous riff, on those Brubeck albums. I think i read somewhere that the time signature was 11/13 or something ridiculous like that, on Take Five. Although the nam... | |
| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? What do you professional drummers think of Joe Morello? I was always amazed at his time keeping on the iconic Brubeck albums, Time Out and Take Five. I have one LP on which he is the lead musician. But he did not receive much notoriety for his s... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? With the Decca cartridges I have owned, I’ve always wondered whether their noteworthy zip and immediacy were not a fortuitous byproduct of mistracking owing to their lack of a cantilever.

| Why I don't hear bass drums on Jazz LPs? Krupa and Rich were bandleaders, featured performers, so naturally they did long solos with plenty of bass drum to emphasize the beat. So you may say the recordings are technically deficient but that wasn’t the question. The thumps are not particu... | |

| VPI to What Some might be converting from BD to DD, the wave of the present. | |
| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks I stand corrected on the use of the ET2 on a suspended TT like the Sota. That linear tonearms generate no skating force is not a matter of opinion. It's factual. However, probably there is no LT tonearm that is perfectly set up, so in the real w... | |
| Developing A List Of Tonearm Candidates For A SOTA Turntable Mijo, you mean it fits like OJ’s glove? | |
| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks I have spoken to JR at CAF, and I agree he is very smart and very knowledgeable on tonearms and cartridges; much more so than I. However, in a properly designed and implemented LT tonearm the friction force between stylus and vinyl has a vector th... | |
| HFNRR Test Record anti-skating tracks Guys, it’s a linear tracking tonearm (the ET2). A properly set up LT tonearm generates no skating force. Zero. And anyway as regards the Foz; it’s for azimuth adjustment, is it not? | |
