| Infinite Slope .5 speakers - does anyone have promo material or any specs on this speaker? No help for the OP's request, but this jogged my audio history memory. Sometime in the 1980s I saw an early review of the JSE Infinite Slope speakers. My favorite local dealer requested a model to evaluate and I bought that. I'm quite sure it w... | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? I appreciate those who made an effort to reply. I think I have 3-4 candidates to evaluate further. Yes, including the oft recommended Coda, even while rated below my power range. However, I wonder why many appear to only read the subject line b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados @msbel, some years ago Mingus' Haitian Fight Song was used in a commercial. A younger man comes to pick up an older man (his father?) from what appeared to be a care facility. Then they hit the highway and that music was perfect as an expression... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @frogman for replying. I always enjoy your sharing your knowledge and perspectives on music and this was helpful. Tom Moon obviously has great love for and broad experience in music. He is admittedly more inclusive than I am for types an... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi all, and Happy New Year to be spent with great music. I've been away for some time, but reading Tom Moon's book "1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die", a comment raised a question I thought might be of interest here. Tom is a music critic,... | |
| Solid state amp that tube fan can be happy with? Thanks all. A few more things @soix ask about I should have included. For budget I'l like to keep <$5K, $6K would be tops. Main reason for new would be trial audition period. Buying used but new enough not to need parts replacement can sav... | |
| Starting my showroom again @nashvillehifi, I live in a metro area of 200K+ with a solid economic base and two universities. It supports a quality symphony orchestra plus an annual international piano competition, so there is interest in music. Yet there is only one stere... | |
| A question on amp matching Thanks for replying @hertzhead. I knew about doubling power for a 3 dB increase in loudness, and the 10x increase in power to double output level, but lacked a clear understanding of listed gain. So this was very helpful. | |
| A question on amp matching I always find it frustrating when someone posts a question, receives multiple replies, then fails to respond to any of them. That seems disrespectful to those who took time to try and help out. So thanks for the replies. The general answer seem... | |
| Chet Baker vs. Miles Davis Some may consider them similar, but I see them quite differently. Chet came up in West Coast school, and didn’t deviate from that style. Maybe if he lived longer he might have. Plus his popularity as a singer certainly differentiates him. Miles ... | |
| For fans of John McLaughlin and Mahavishnu Orchestra @stuartk, no idea as I have no connections in the recording industry. You might ask Walter at the initial link I posted. | |
| AR XA turntable needs new cartridge... jim, normally I have respect for any comment offered by lewm, but here I have a different view. Unfortunately many today believe the AR is not worth considering, particularly the tone arm. But here is a full evaluation which states respect for t... | |
| An integrated bargain? Costa, good for you. That shows admirable business integrity and concern for your customers. | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G lewm questioned the "spindle stress" statement better than I could. I was about to ask in a somewhat less scientific way. | |
| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G @tablejockey, I have a 1200G and am able to use a SOTA reflex clamp with the stock mat. I’m not certain but I suspect the 1300G has a similar dimension. The 1200G spindle is shorter than normal. So far mine is stock, although I got one of the rec... |
