Jazzerdave, any album you see him on as a sideman, when you like the leader. His LP's are used and expensive. He's a sideman on a few Chris Connor CD's, I like her. My favorite LP is the one shown with those cuts on it.

Jazzerdave, normally I preface a statement like that with "in my opinion"; however, I believe OP is the best bassist ever. I make this statement after listening for many years to the other "best bassist" in jazz.These "Youtube" examples will give ...

This qualifies for "best of the best". It was first posted by Foster_9. What makes this so unique is the fact that it was never recorded on an LP. I bought the LP with "Senor Blues" on it, and this is different and much better. Something happens i... 
Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl?
This is a technical question, and it can be answered with an accurate oscilloscope. Simply compare the two wave forms on a double trace scope. I would wager "digital" because of the consistency of reproduction. 
Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do?
I agree with you 100%, especially since it's your money and not mine. 
Some tables have soul and some not
Learsfool, when you add classic and soul you get "James Brown". Tell me what classical music "boogies".No one defines "Orpheus10", except "Orpheus10".Now, back to the subject. TT's and cartridges are "voiced" for different genre's of music, but pe... 
Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do?
I was in a "high end emporium" where we were enjoying the most glorious music on ARC electronics and top of the line Thiel speakers. That was the most fantastic sound stage I have ever seen. The illusion was so complete, that I felt like I could r...

By the way, I am absolutely not in that CD, LP debate. It just so happens that the music I seek is only available on high priced LP's. Recently, some of those "high priced LP's" became available on normally priced CD's. I would have no objection t...

Do you have Oscar Pettiford in your collection? He is the best bassist ever. While Charles Mingus is the best "music maker", Pettiford is the best bassist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMaqzjSx7a4In my opinion, this is his best LP.

Technics and Threshold?
Upgrade the capacitors in the crossover of the ESS and buy new diaphragms. That will give you some killer new speakers.

The Sota is for classical music, and classical music has no "soul".I don't like classical music, but when I heard it on a Sota Cosmo, it changed my opinion. TT's and cartridges are voiced for different genre's of music. 
PrimaLuna DiaLogue Seven Speaker Match
RCA NOS 12au7 black plates will take the PrimaLuna up a big notch. The 12ax7's that come with the unit are very good, and it will take a stretch to beat them. The PrimaLuna Dialogue Seven is miles ahead of most tube amps; just as you can set your ...

Rok2id, whatever it was, it's no longer worth mentioning.
