Do "all" aficionados consider this beautiful music?          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTp9mjI04kMEnjoy this music 
Rega P5 Upgrade:TTPSU,Platter Or Subplatter?
I have all of them except the TT PSU, and I don't regret it.  You left one out, that's the tone arm wire.

I just discovered something today; this is not a "hobby" for me, although I can't think of any other word. If it was a hobby for me, I would want to do, what reviewers do for a living; they review equipment forever.Today, I was listening to me Te...

Ghosthouse, this is jazz that has progressed from "jazz jazz"; that's the music Wynton Marsalis and Rok want to hear until the end of time.While the music they made in the 50's and 60's is fine with me, the musicians who try to duplicate it now, c...

Ghosthouse, I got to have it. I go way back with Pat Metheney, live and on records. He's one of the most creative musicians I can think of. He comes up with music that's new and unique, it's not some kind of style; like this is "new music"; no ...

Frogman, this Bud's for you, it's an orchestra, Stan Kenton's in this case; you will hear a lot of familiar names.        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8JmdTJtlUYEnjoy the music.

Let me tell you guys about my present speakers; they are 3 way; heil air motion tweeter, 6 inch mid, 12 inch woofer 92 DB efficient, they reproduce the electronics without any sonic signature of their own; the better the electronics, the better th...

I had a rough night as you can tell by my spelling of "Cannonball Adderley".Since we have been straying occasionally from in the pocket jazz, I'm going to submit something by "Stan Kenton" that I liked a long time ago. This entire LP is nice late...

I have custom speakers, and I had the crossover engineer to pattern my crossovers after Thiel. I chose the drivers and put them together. While you can go to "Parts Connection" and put together some good speakers, if you want speakers just for y...

Thank you very much Dicockrum, I don't know how I got locked into speakers costing thousands of dollars. That just goes to show what happens when there are no more places to see, hear and compare different speakers. I might try some of those; if...

Frogman, that was a mistake "Something Cool" was supposed to be linked to AC and a time when the neighborhood bar was the coolest place in town.This is the link for miles, and it's from the LP "Something Else" which was under Cannon Ball, and ever...

Dicockrum, I have stated consistently, "You can not play the cards you wish you had, you have to play what's dealt" after all is said and done, I have never been able to buy the speakers I wish I had, therefore I have to settle for what I consider...

Koestner, take me to your source; the source of what ever made you say that. That thing called a volume control on the preamp that you turn up or down sets the level to the amp. But I know you knew that. If you turn it up, the speakers get loud...

Ghosthouse, "The Three Marias" sounds like fusion; I have to get into that "mind set" to appreciate it.I only recall slices of life without AC; hadn't really thought about how it changed us, but that tune "Something Cool" reminds me of when the ne...

Alex, I'm sure I have those LP's; I got them at a time the CD was unavailable, but my records are so disorganized that finding anything is a job.That was a very interesting story about Wayne Shorter; it's amazing how the different genres crossed p...
