are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD
Tostados, it's not at all subjective in regard to LP or CD when the total cost of your analog rig is a minimum of 4K. I know I said 3K once before, but cartridges seem to have gone up, so that is 3K for the table and in the vicinity of 1K for the...

Inna, the clutch went out just recently on my Otari MX 5050; that's the 4 channel that comes in two pieces. I will give it to you if you pay shipping. I have two professional shipping cases. It was working perfectly before the clutch went out.I...

Anything will sound better on playback with 2 Track reel.CD's become analog on playback, that goes for playback on cassette as well.,    Although I enjoy it because I bought tape and reel a long time ago, I couldn't even think about affording it n...

"Bernie's Tune" is a long time favorite of mine, and he sounds much better on this one; that is his horn sounds better, but the overall music on TRS is hard to beat.I've got that "Pepper + eleven", I'll have to play it.Thanks for the clipsEnjoy th...

Inna, I have a DTI between my transport and DAC. I imagine a lot of people don't even know what that is; it's a digital transmission interface, and it eliminates jitter.Not until I did my last cartridge upgrade did the TT exceed my digital.Now so...

Inna you are correct, tape sounds better; you have 2 track or 1/2 track which records in one direction only, and you have 1/4 track which records and plays back in both directions.2 track that records in only one direction is very expensive in reg...

I think this ranks at the top of Art's best work, "Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section", sounds so good, but you do have to give the rhythm section a lot of credit.Do we have any Art Pepper scholars here? Is there something better?        https:...

I always find it interesting to read what musicians had to say about other musicians. This is what Trane told Art Pepper, "Why don't you straighten up ? You have so much to offer. Why don't you give the world what you can?"Art said Trane was so...

Frogman, that was kind of sneaky the way you discussed both drug use and practicing, while suggesting we not discuss the subject any more.I'm thankful that although we don't see drug use among jazz musicians, it is a serious problem in this countr...

Acman, no one can get to where these special people are without practicing; no more than a professional tennis player can get to where he is without "practicing"; but, after a "special" musician gets to be a professional musician, when he's perfor...

If I said anything that would be contrary to what "Bird" said, I would of course be wrong.If you think I said something contrary to what "Bird" said, you misinterpreted what I said.Enjoy the music

It's a funny thing about dope and jazz musicians; most people think that somehow the dope helps them to become fantastic musicians. I don't know how they can think that, when the musicians themselves will tell you otherwise. "Bird" was a "junky"...

Speaking of rehearsals, the "greats" would meet at Rudy's, discuss what they were going to play, and jam for the recording; you might have one of those records in your collection.Ray Charles hired a new musical director, who complained because Dav...
