Scar972, your post jibes with bdp24's post; he said Revox parts cost a fortune; I guess they figure to cash in on the popularity. Do you have a favorite deck?Happy listening.

Bdp24, I guess I just got lucky when I found the Technics. They're good people to deal with; at least they were 10 years ago. So many things have changed I'm not sure about now. I'm glad you tipped me off about Revox. CJ was good people awhile ...

Oleschool, that Tandberg was one of the decks I lusted for, but couldn't afford it at that time; now, when you consider the cost of the best TT and cartridge, a reel is not so expensive when your aim is ultimate audio.    https://www.youtube.com/w...

You have my favorite TT in the affordable range. Nothing can prevent wire from becoming oxidized over a period of time; I would see about changing the tone arm wire; that's a win win situation, you can't go wrong.Good luck.

Frogman is evidently giving much thoughtful consideration to the link in question, which is a good thing. In the meantime we can get back to our regular scheduled program.The only "new" jazz I hear, is what you submit, or the only new jazz that's...

Alex, this is the first time I recall those two together; I had to listen for awhile to distinguish between the two. I like that piano; when I can't name the piano man, but still like him, that's good."Newk" is jazzier, riffs more, while Hawk is ...

Randy, "Grace Kelly" is an unusual name for a Japanese Lady, but I liked her good time fun music. I think they called it "Smooth Jazz", which makes it unpretentious; not trying to be in the "heavy jazz" class. She seemed to really enjoy blowing ...

Rok, the Sonny Rollins Quartet, with Coltrane was good easy listening jazz with five old pros; that contrast between Rollins and Trane was very interesting, I don't recall hearing both of them together. Red Garland and Paul Chambers made that a p...

Rok, nothing is more comfortable than having hot buttered popcorn, while watching a good movie; and it's best in a movie theater.I enjoyed this luxury before the mall closed. It closed for reasons related to that thread I've presented. All of th...

Alex, what you have presented is REALITY, and you have presented it in such a way that no longer can people hide behind words like COMMUNISM or whatever the current "boogy man" word is.

Alex, Rok, and Frogman, there is nothing I hate worse than talking about "nothing"; therefore, I am going to give us something that's certainly worth talking about, and at the same time will indicate who has any knowledge of economics.      http:/...

Frogman, could you post whatever you posted where people who were obviously on the lower economic rung were singing; it was music that was specifically Cuban, they sounded good, especially since there were no instruments to accompany them.Thank you
