| Jimmy Smith Yeah I also agree that the Blue Note releases are his most consistent. "Groovin' at Small's Paradise" is a great live2-CD set. The Rudy Van Gelder remaster is terrific."Angel Eyes" on Polygram is one his better later releasesfrom 1995 with great s... | |

| Comments on Lucinda Williams "World Without Tears" Well I finally picked up the "World Without Tears" CD. I guessit was never really a question as I'm a huge Lucinda fan, Iwas just disappointed with "Essence." I have to agree withRedkiwi's comments. Stylistically WWT is far more similar toEssence ... | |
| avant-funk????? Hi Marakanetz - wouldn't you consider Sco's solo stuff, i.e."Hand Jive" more classic funk? I thought the "A Go-Go" CD wasa nice departure from his usual sound which I do consider tobe rooted in the more traditional "classic funk" style. Eitherway ... | |
| Who has experience shipping large speakers? Yes my speakers (300lbs each packaged) had to be shipped viafreight carrier. It was Overnight Freight. $550 back in 1995.Pretty wild to see an 18-wheeler pull up to my door. I mustsay they did an outstanding job. The boxes didn't have a markon the... | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs How about some jazz? "Solid" and "Idle Moments" by Grant Greenare both killer! Is it just me or is GG possibly the mostuderrated jazz guitarist ever?Totally agree with the SRV "Tin Pan Alley" but also reallylike his "Scuttlebuttin" too!Jeez, gotta... | |
| Better amplification for Thiel CS 1.5 I've heard the CS1.5's absolutely SING when driven by a Creek5350SE integrated. Check past threads for more comments. Newis $1500 or roughly 1/2 that used. | |
| avant-funk????? You'd probably also like John Scofield's "A Go-Go" withMedeski, Martin and Wood for something more recent. | |
| Wadia 25 DAC I owned the 25 (mated to a Denon DCD-1520 as transport) forabout a year before switching to the one-box 860 back inlate '97. At the time Wadia (both marketing and engineeringreps that I spoke to while considering the switch) felt the860 was essent... | |
| EAR phono pre problem ??? Help needed.......... Hmmm...this does not sound like a tube problem. Sounds morelike one of two problems:1) a cold solder joint going intermittent; or 2) The volume/gain pot or the MM/MC switch is dirty.First swap the tubes to see if one of the tubes is faulty.If not.... | |
| Vaulting Cassette Tapes and have a final question. Hmmm...I'd be more worried about oxide shedding thandegaussing. Where are you planning to store them? Gotanything better than a shoe box? | |
| What is the best FM tuner with remote tuning? Gotta disagree Brian, but that's what's great about thishobby! I agree that both the TU-717 and T-2 (especially theT-2) trounce the Fanfare in DX'ing. No question. If DX'ingis of primary importance then I'd say a vintage analog tunersuch as those ... | |
| What is the best FM tuner with remote tuning? Fanfare FT-1A.Not really the best tuner for DX'ing, but if you're lookingfor remote capability then DX'ing is probably not your mainconcern.I have not heard a better tuner on medium/strong signalsthan the FT-1A. There are certainly (a few) equals,... | |
