| Live Venues getting slim. It was years ago that I talked to Ahmad Jamal, and the musicians with him who were headed to Japan. They told me they couldn't make a living here in the States. While that was for jazz, it may apply to other genre's of music as well | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts Evidently there are people here who are in desperate need of a new "digital" rig. | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 Manitunc, the Sota Sapphire is a fantastic table with a good suspension. The person who made the comparison was someone who had tweeked the Rega with the same tweeks I made. That should be here on the "Gon". When the tonearm wire is replaced with ... | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 Inna, you're right, it was about 1K. We set the bar so high that it's very hard to reach. | |
| Can you identify this Jazz artist/album/song? It sounds a bit like Coleman Hawkins, but I don't think that's him; the phrasing's not "the Hawk", and I can't think of any other musician so close; it's like someone imitating "Coleman Hawkins".I don't have a clue. | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 Inna, my Rega P-3 fit your description, it was flat, until I replaced the tonearm wire, the motor, the sub platter, the acrylic platter, and installed the heavy weight arm balance; after that, it sang. | |
| upgrade or replace rega planar 3 The upgraded Rega has been compared to the Sota Star Saphire by someone who owns a Sota Star Saphire and it came out a draw. Since you have the rb600 arm, it is absolutely worth it to you. Not only that, but Rega is better for jazz than Sota.I'm a... | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts The difference is $$$$$$$$$. I have LP's stacked to the ceiling, I'm a dinosaur; all dinosaurs have LP's stacked to the ceiling. Evidently other dinosaurs want young people to get into this very expensive, extremely complex "Dinosaur game".When co... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I wanted to make another post, why did they stop new posts. | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Rok2id, what did you say to make Audiofiel shut down that thread on protocol. I tried to start a similar thread but they didn't accept it. | |
| are digital recordings on vinyl any better than CD Maybe the deciding factor is the quality of the TT or digital rig. I have a transport that feeds into a "data transmission interface", that feeds into a DAC which has Black Gate caps. | |
| .R.I.P. Don Cornelius I was there, but there ain't there no more.Where is "there"? "There", is a state of mind that no longer exists.I was in LA on the strip, I was in Chicago listening to Ahmad Jamal at "Ricks" on North Shore Drive, I was in Atlanta on Peachtree Stree... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? When asked about the LP, Rudy Van Gelder, who gained fame for recording: Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Joe Henderson, Grant Green, Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, and many others on Blue Note, replied, "Good riddance". That tells me s... | |
| How selective are you? I can't count the LP's I have, which indicate I must have been under some kind of bad influence. The record covers are pretty and interesting, but the music is so lousy, I really can't stand it.Now I'm much more selective. Almost 100% of my listen... | |
| PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match Sionlim, you are in the largest majority of "posters" here on the Gon, although I don't think you're in the largest majority of audiophiles.All the audiophiles I've known personally, were very deep into the music, but I don't think any of them pos... |
