| Jazz for aficionados acman, right, I'd forgotten about them sending out a record a month. Or maybe it was a card with notice of what would be sent if not declined? I think I filled my obligation as quickly as possible to end that.The other thing I remember in record... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, it seems you have been doing lots of personal reflection lately. Some of that may be due to general confinement with the Coronavirus, some as a common condition for your age, which I believe is very close to my own.I know both have been true... | |
| How to properly set up a turntable HTA = horizontal tracking angle! I've been in this hobby a long time but don't remember seeing this before. Is it the same thing as azimuth?mglik, a tip for setting your tonearm parallel to the LP surface. That is assuming your arm has a cylind... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive atmasphere's (Ralph's) point about tension on the spindle with the belt pulling to one side was addressed by one table I'm aware of. I owned an original Well Tempered TurnTable and the spindle well had five contact bearing points. Two were insid... | |
| How to properly set up a turntable mglik, as others suggested, it can be a basic or a complex procedure.The basic, as a bare minimum, would include 1) overhang and offset angle (the SmartTractor with noted caution), 2) VTF set to middle of mfg's recommended range, 3) adjust anti-sk... | |

| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? Jose, they were good enough for me to keep them for 19 years, way longer than any other component I've owned. I only sold them because I knew I would be moving plus a very good buyer happened along. | |
| Jazz for aficionados zerobias, no surprise if the written score and Mingus' performance didn't match up. In real jazz it would never be played the same way twice. ;^)Anyway, that must have been a wonderful experience to hear Marsalis and his band live and in rehearsa... | |
| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? I believe Tom may have this correct. I owned a pair of Duntech Princesses which were the older sibling to the DAL IV/IVA. Mine came with Scanspeak woofers but when the DALs were introduced they did not. I assumed John changed to a less expensiv... | |
| Help me set up my new (to me) Dunlavy V's fluffers, about the time I bought my Duntechs I developed a procedure for room placement. That required taking measurements for smoothest (flattest) bass response as I moved the speakers out from the front wall 1" at a time. Note my choice was t... | |
| Help me set up my new (to me) Dunlavy V's flutffers, I owned Duntech rather than DAL, but general recommendations remain the same.First, Dunlavy's designs could be placed a little further apart than many others. So for one suggestion an equilateral triangle with 10 to 12' to the prime li... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A recent discussion on Vinyl Asylum brought out a few fans of Anita O'Day, including YT. While searching for a new post of her classic Newport Jazz Festival performance (original I had was deleted) I discovered this "All The Best" album. So I of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Dinah Washington trivia: she was married to Dick "Night Train" Lane, defensive back with the Detroit Lions.One thing I appreciated about Dinah was her unique voice, not just her phrasing. Phrasing can be copied but I favor artists who don't "soun... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'm not much into big bands either. But one I do enjoy is Basie. However I like this even better -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4jFXwWJObsjcipale, if you are interested both o10 and I posted Crusaders and Jazz Crusaders links here recently.ma... | |
