| 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... | |
| Jazz for aficionados schubert, maybe I'm old fashioned but this remains my favorite version -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npKGdsiQz9Q | |
| 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? | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? totem, "arm found on Micro Seiki DD-40 turntable, still identifiedas an MA-505 although different from the arms soldon their own".Other than the base for each arm, what is the difference? From a quick look they appear to be identical. | |
| Jazz for aficionados schubert, I know this is a jazz site, but since you mentioned Bjorling, I'll offer this.Admittedly I'm not much of an opera fan, although I enjoy several overtures. But years ago I heard a RCA CD, "Opera Goes To The Movies". That was a budget ef... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For those who missed it in the link in frog's post on Rich giving a "pep talk" to his band after a performance. This comes from Jerry Seinfeld, not someone I'd expect to know about or talk about Buddy Rich. Found the link on the side of the Rich... | |
| Technics SP 10 mc II. Worth looking at? FYI, the Fidelis Analog chip set is a replacement in the SP-15 as well as the SP-10 Mk 3.Also chakster, the simple home use plinth link in your 8/14 post does not open. | |
| Three cheers for Keith Herron A friend has Herron electronics in a very good sounding system.I had the chance to chat with Keith a couple of times at CES/THE Show. He is very knowledgable about both electronics and music, plus seemed to be an all-round nice guy. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another thanks frog. That merits two comments.Regardless of which you feel is the best jazz vocalist, I've never seen a video of Sinatra having as much fun performing as Torme on "Love For Sale".Also, and I hope I haven't related this joke here p... | |
| Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc @best-groove round elastic for men's socks, what is that and where did you find it?Also, for future reference, I remember reading that air leaks can happen with the valve. If you're not able to correct that then a good bike repair shop may help. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frog. An audio pal and good buddy used to argue that Torme was one of the best jazz male vocalists ever, better than Sinatra. That usually resulted in arguments. ;^)And yes, liked Woods too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks acman, that fits. ;^) | |
| Dunlavy resurrection? @dronepunk, thanks for that. Hardly any difference in weight then.However I think the simpler box design for the DAL was possibly a compromise in performance, even if it was less expensive to build. |
