| Jazz for aficionados I'm sure there are plenty of recordings of African drum beating, but if you have have a penchant for vinyl recordings seek out "Professor Johnson's Amazing Sound Show" on Reference Recordings I believe. It has some 'amazing' displays of solo Afric... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, Re Beethoven's connection to my African log beater - think 'rhythm'. Ludwig really understood the use of rhythm. It dominates his music - its what really grabs your attention, especially in his 5th, 7th, and 9th, in particular, I think. That'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, Perhaps Rok was thinking about Shostakovitch when he said 20th century classical composers stole from jazz. Actually I think his attempts to compose 'jazz' might be more accurate, especially his jazz suites, which while pleasant enoug... | |
| Frequency band of sibilance Thanks Rodman, that helps a lot. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I can't (or maybe just won't) try to answer your 'unanswered question', except to say that I thought that your posts as well of the posts of Orpheus were, far more often than not, more about yourselves and your perceptions/opinions, than the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Alex, First, nice thoughtful post.My POV is a bit more simplistic perhaps, but I believe most folks are anchored to music they found appealing during their youth and unless they developed a serious interest in a particular idiom they, at least sub... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, If you are interested in 'jazz' vocalists you might be interested in the music of Laverne Butler, Rene Marie, and Mary Stallings. All contemporary vocalists. All have recorded on the MaxJazz label. I'm not sure how well known they are (o... | |
| Lector CDP-0 6T or Denon 3930ci? I don't have a Lector, but it sounds like you need a little work to the transport and/or laser. Could be a simple as cleaning the laser's lens yourself if you can figure out how to access it. Works for me. When my last laser/transport failed (of... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Mark, I forgot to mention, be careful thinking about the wonders of a tube phono stage, ARC or not. The sonics are quite often great but noise, not so much. When I think about tubed phone stages I always think of high output MC cartridges. Low out... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Mark, I don't know how assessible the folks at Whest are but my next move would be to contact their service department or technician and set out the issues to them and see what response you draw, if any. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, FWIW I stated several years ago my reasons for not actively participating in this thread. You can locate them and refresh yourself if need be. But the short version is this - I find it unrewarding to participate in a conversation with anyone ... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Mark, What this says to me is that your issue is with the noise floor of your phono stage. With the cartridge (TT) disconnected from the phono stage the noise you are hearing is inherrent with the design or the mechanical condition of the phono st... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, FWIW, there is something condescending, I think, when some one feels that he needs to protect jazz history and it's fans from misinformation put forward by some folks, especially those who's motivation is as transparent as Rok and Orpheus... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Hi Mark, It appears that you have sourced your problem correctly to your phono stage and/or cartridge. To determine whether its is the phono stage or the cartridge or both in combination, disconnect the IC from your TT to the phono stage and just ... | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Sorry, another question.Have you disconnected all of your sources from your pre-amp, in fact unplugging them is best, and then rotate your volume control to its 3 o'clockposition and see if you still have the noise? Rotate to max, any noise then? ... |
