| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? Without a doubt "Blue Train". If I had to select only 1 cut from one LP, it would be "Blue Train". | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I think the idea of the "forgotten player" or the player that "didn't get his due" is mainly overstated and often a myth."Frogman, I couldn't agree with you more. Pepper Adams was "DA MAN"; everybody who was somebody selected Pepper Adams as a si... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Clio09, I just received the RMGI tape that I'm going to use with the Otari MX 5050, what bias and equalizer setting did you use? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, you gave us so much information, it's going to take me a week to digest it. I had forgotten how good "West Coast" can sound; it's all about getting into that kind of groove. Have a nice weekend; get back to you Monday with my take on all ... | |
| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? Tubegroover, I know exactly what you're talking about. I bought the original PV-10 that had apparent noise and distortion, but still sounded good. I sent it back to CJ where they made extensive changes to reduce both. I changed the electrolytic in... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you got the same problem with this as I had with "Da Blues", I can't hear the music because so many other factors surrounding the music keep flooding my mind."Blaxsploitation" was a very appropriate name for that music, and picture genre. I n... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Good to hear from you alex. Serge's music is "West Coast" all the way; somehow it sounds better in LA, that's because the West Coast has a different vibe. This music sounded a lot better to me in the 50's than it does now. In order for this music ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Here's something really different from "Grant Green"; he could come from so many different directions that it boggles the mind, this is from a movie score he did, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYEwMoWaEpU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxiMpreP... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Mingus Minus Mingus", didn't think about it, but that's exactly what this was. His music can be played and heard on a deeper level; I know that sounds trite, but there is nothing shallow about Mingus's music. On the second clip, he was just as mu... | |
| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? Tubegroover, I'm glad what you like best about your PV-9 was retained; for us that's a just right sound, we don't care about no stinking neutral. I just got off the phone inquiring about the PV-12, and was told whoever takes care of it is out of t... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? The old pro needs some help from you newbees; I had been using Quantegy 456 grand master, but I now see $270.99 a reel, tell me it ain't so.I need advice on blank tape, what are you guys using? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you didn't comment on "Pepper Adams Plays Mingus". This music is for "very serious" fans of Charles Mingus. While it's fundamentally the same, when you "Pontificate" each and every note, it's not. Since I'm going to Pontificate each and every... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Inna, since you're looking into all things Otari, could you tell me how easy it is, to change my 1/4 track Otari to a 2 track? | |
| Tubes from Russia block I don't know anything about tubes, nor do I want to know. Brent Jesse knows about tubes and I know Brent Jesse. People buying bad tubes on E-Bay is beginning to sound like a broken record. |
