What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
Inna, 20K for a tone arm; when are you going to invite me to your chateau. I just got back with the material to construct a table for my TT, and I'm going to re-record all my LP's after I receive and install the new cartridge. After that, all I...

The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer, while those in the middle are slowly being sucked into that vortex called poverty. In order to verify this, all you have to do is search "Poverty", or homelessness.Recently there was a... 
Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one?
When I got into "high end", there were two high end salons within driving distance. I spent so much time in these places that my wife swore I was seeing another woman; "There is no way you're going to come home late every evening listening to som...

Theo, I've been doing some serious thinking about what you said in regard to the phono stage, and it seems 3K, or in that price range, is what a tube phono which would be similar to yours might cost.There is no free lunch in "High End audio", and ... 
Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one?
Theo, although I have SS Phono, I have tube pre and amplifier, plus "Grado" is a relatively warm cartridge. I believe my end result is the same as yours, because that's the way I would describe it.What I'm hearing in regard to phono pre, is that ...

Actually Inna, I'm going to upgrade to the next highest "Grado". I've got a proven winner for me. What this cartridge does with female vocals is incredible. Believe it or not, I'm quite satisfied with 100% of nothing; no noise, no hum, just the... 
Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one?
The cartridge is the most important piece of equipment in your entire rig, it should not be selected the same way you might select a preamp, by buying the "best". No, a cartridge is a very personal thing, that can only be selected after you have ... 
Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one?
Since every one on this thread seems to know a lot about phono preamps, instead of starting a new thread, I'll direct my question to you guys.I have a solid state phono that I use for my high out put "Grado". Not long ago, I went from Platinum to... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
Here is something I liked that nobody in the jazz group liked. The bass was so awesome, that I had to take the 12 inch woofer out of my bedroom after my son complained. Although I was enjoying it the most, we have to live together.              ... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
Inna, Mahavishnu was more rock than jazz, and I'm not into rock; you will have to paste a link of what you think exemplifies what it is you're looking for, in order for me to know what you're looking for.Enjoy the music.

Inna, if you can't dig this, you got a hole in your soul.      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVfNuQ14lBU 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
riawry, I agree totally with your summation.I don't know how you compare "Mahavishnu" to any band, but here is something in a similar vain.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfjxtcNYKz4"Shakti" is the concept or personification of divine feminine ... 
Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?
I can't even imagine another band close to Mahavishnu; each artist was a unique star of fusion at that point in time.John McLaughlin – guitars, vocalsJean-Luc Ponty – violin, vocals, electric violin, baritone violinRalphe Armstrong – bass guitar, ...
