| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever Wow, I thought this thread was dead. Far from it.Coltrane1 thanks...The point of this thread was never to try and claim that KOB was the absolute best. Rather, my point was that given that it was the most sold Jazz album and it can often be heard ... | |

| Audiophile Cartridge for Technics 1200 dj table? I started out as a DJ and was running the Ortofon OM Night Club E. the sound is fairly good but by no means up to audiophile standards.I upgraded to the Ortofon 2M blue. This was good step-up. It has good overall sound but lacks the detail of high... | |
| child-free environment? Yes and Yes. My kid is 18 month old and has been listening since the day he got back from the hospital.Today he is obsesed with vinyl. We recently moved into a new home and I now have a dedicated listening room in the basement. When we are upstair... | |

| What about 7"45's anybody still listen to them? One of my gems in my collection is a 7" passed down from my mother. It is a 1957 German pressing on RCA but by Telefunken/Decca of four Louis Armstrong tracks recorded in 1932, 33 and 47, Rockin' Chair, Bassin Stree Blues, St-James Infirmary and w... | |

| Mechanical buzz coming from the chassis It appears that the hum is due to the bottom plate on the chassis casing vibrating against the side wall. I placed something underneatht the amp to pressure on the bottom cover and this has eliminating the hum.I guess I could also loosen the screw... | |
| Mechanical buzz coming from the chassis I have the amps sitting on 1/4" thick cork mats. This helps, but regardless the hum is not audible from my listening position.The other strange thing is that only one amp hums but both amps had relatively loose screws.Also, soft mats and tightneni... | |
| Mechanical buzz coming from the chassis I checked the screws on the power transformer, they were loose. I tightned them and the hum is nearly gone. I really have to get my ear in close to hear it now.Do I need to be concerned that there is an underlying problem with the transformer or i... | |
| Analog Preview? Thank you Dave for the complement. I guess my system is more resolving than I expected. And thanks Elizabeth for the more detailed explanation, I checked it and it is exactly one revolution of the record.This said it remains anoying, especially wh... | |
| What you drink while listening sessions? Pinot Noir, it must taste like sticks and stones. Clos Jordane - Claystone Terrace for example. |
