| My favorite top 20 jazz recording in high resolution - fusion and some bebop gerryah930Nice list. Tried to find some of these titles in SACD as I am not set up for hi-res even though my DAC will read both redbook and DSD. I already own Illuminations, explorations, time out and love supreme in SACD. Time Out is fantastic ... | |
| Counterpoint SA-11 Manual RuzgarYes it seems a lot of Counterpoint gear has been upgraded. I know that Elliott generally built his gear to a price point hence the path to upgrade with better resistors,capacitors,internal wire, power supply,etc.. As I recall the Sa11 was h... | |
| Counterpoint SA-11 Manual RuzgarI have a Counterpoint Sa5000 for many years which I had fully modded by Mike Elliot just before he went out of business . I remember there was someone to contact for manuals but that was 4or 5 years ago. A guy whose handle on Agon is bigkid... | |
| Jazz LP Review: Lyn Stanley's The Moonlight Sessions Vol.1 Tierney Sutton, Karrin Alyson, Christy Baron, Diana Krall & Mark Murphy. Do you have Lyn Stanley's previous releases and how do they compare with The Moonlight Sessions?Nick | |
| Jazz LP Review: Lyn Stanley's The Moonlight Sessions Vol.1 ZachteichThanks I was not aware of this album. I really enjoy jazz vocals and have wanted to try Lyn Stanley but have not purchased anything yet. I was trying to decide whether to buy her music on SACD or vinyl. I am also interested in the "one s... | |
| Larry Coryell RIP I saw Coryell three times twice with Eleventh House and also solo on acoustic guitar. My all time favorite jazz guitar player. Nobody could play the blues like him. His playing on the debut album "the Dealer " with leader Chico Hamilton is amaz... | |

| New Townshend Rock 7 owner SlawCongratulations on obtaining your Rock 7 table. I purchased the Rock 7 2 years ago with Metlin motor upgrade and I continue to he stunned by its performance. Damping at cartridge makes sound so much cleaner with gery natural tight bass clear... | |
| Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ? Another great fusion band from the 70*s/80*s nobody has mentioned was Pierre Moerlen*s Gong. Great stinging guitar solos by Allan Holdsworth mixed with jazzy sax and xylophone riffs backed by Moerlens fluid drumming. Best albums: Shamal, Expres... | |

| COUNTERPOINT HYBRID PHONO STAGE UPGRADE the Amperex NOS tubes are a good choice. I am using 6 Siemens NOS 6922s and a Tele NOS 12AX7 in the power supply spot but that is my preference. The SA5 schematic should help you. In a conversation with Mike Elliot he stated that the circuit in... | |
| COUNTERPOINT HYBRID PHONO STAGE UPGRADE i also wanted to ask what tubes you are using. Getting some new tubes can make a big difference. | |
| COUNTERPOINT HYBRID PHONO STAGE UPGRADE No circuit diagrams were provided when I upgraded and Elliot did not make a set of specs/diagrams available for upgrades when he closed down the site. You need to get those jfets out of there . the Sowter 8055 used in my unit gives a gain of 1... | |
| COUNTERPOINT HYBRID PHONO STAGE UPGRADE I am an original owner of Counterpoint SA5000 . I had it fully upgraded by Alta Vista about late 2011/ received it back about FEB 2012. Just after I received it back Mike Elliot closed down his web site. I believe I am the last person to have a... |
