Jazz for aficionados Influence of Miles, and --Others may know this but it was recent news for me. Watching a program on the making of Pink Floyd's classic "Dark Side of the Moon", I learned that PF keyboard player Richard Wright said a major influence in his playing... | |
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Per Ancestry I do have Eastern European heritage, but they keep changing the percentage. From what I've learned my great-grandfather was born in either Poland or Russia. Apparently the boundary changed frequently during the mid-1800s.That's as c... | |
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? nandric, that is good of you. But thanks in part to Raul, I now have a large collection of cartridges. I still have the Shinon and should I decide I don't like anything better I can try getting it retipped. | |

Jazz for aficionados keegaim, if you want to dig deeper into Miles, among the many bios I might suggest "Miles, The Autobiography" with Quincy Troupe. That is if you are looking for more than you'll find by sampling recordings from his various "periods". | |
Jazz for aficionados Thanks pjw for that interview. I've read the Miles wanted to record with Hendrix but wondered how he was exposed to his music -- radio airplay? friend's records? | |
2 Wonderful Stereo LP's RESCUED by: MONO MODE and BALANCE lew, elliott, others,Many of those false stereo releases were labeled "electronically enhanced for stereo". I always avoided those.And certainly many early true stereo recordings had exaggerated separation between L and R channels. Some called t... | |

Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc raul, didn't you comment a few years ago that you found the AT-666 improved your SP-10 Mk2, even without using the vacuum feature? Possibly better inertia from the (then) heavier platter? | |
