| Direct 2 Disc I agree about the Sheffield catalog. For example Lincoln Mayorga may have been a part owner/producer (?) for the label and a good musician, but his tastes were far too schmaltzy for me. And while the Harry James Sheffields are great recordings, yo... | |
| Direct 2 Disc For those not familiar with the history of D2D LP records, this is what I read some time ago.Doug Sax, and possibly Mayorga, was listening to some favored 78 records. He was impressed by the presence and sense of "aliveness" heard in many of thos... | |
| Jelco 850 total weight montaldo, aren't replacement springs available from SOTA? Also, I read some years ago that the springs can be re-tempered by boiling in a pan, immersed in brake fluid. You might check those solutions, then you wouldn't need to be concerned about... | |
| Tone Arm board material sleepwalker, when I began researching plinth building I found a few suggestions for Corian. However I then read that Corian can in fact be subject to vibration transmission. Otherwise it might be more commonly used I guess. One comment stated t... | |
| Jelco TK-850L review Thanks jtsnead, I was about to ask if anyone knew if Jelco would be adding a 10" version of the new arm.Please report after you have it installed.BTW, people talk about "break in" with a tone arm. I guess it could be the wire, but what else would... | |
| Spatial Audio M3 Tubo S open baffle speaker review falconquest, thanks for your efforts with this review.I recently became interested in open baffle speakers as well, specifically the M3 Turbo S and the various PureAudioProject Trio 15 models. The PAPs are more expensive, even for their least cos... | |
| Why don't we make a list of best pressings ? richopp, yes the Sheffield LPs are special.But Mayorga's recordings won't be up to everyone's taste. I consider them "smaltz" but YMMV.Fortunately there are others, such as the Dave Grusin, Tower of Power, "I've Got The Music In Me", and a few mo... | |
| Miss my Dunlavy Speakers, Were to go... I've now been in this audio hobby for decades. I owned Duntech Princess speakers for 19 years, by far the longest of any other component over all this time. The only reason I sold them was due to their size and a pending move.For those not famil... | |
| Upgrade from Technics SP25 gotog, chakster has mentioned the SP-20 a few times now. It may be a fine motor unit, I've never seen one. But depending on where you live, I believe they are very rare in the US. Also you don't find the backup such as a service manual at Vinyl... | |
| Upgrade from Technics SP25 gotog, this is not to suggest you upgrade your table, Raul and chakster have given good advice.However if you are not aware I thought you might like knowing more about your table. Technics offered three SP model tables at different price points. ... | |

| Jazz for aficionados acman, you post many links which I enjoy. But that Gene Ammons just hit a special "groove". I loved it. | |
| Mono Cartridge Recommendations peter, the answers to many of your questions will depend on the specific monos you listen to.I’ve read that no mono cutter heads have been available/in use since around 1990. So all of the newer mono reissues were made with a stereo cutter head. F... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There has been a bit of discussion on this site about the value of new artists and current direction for jazz.I just received this link from a friend. It is a PBS special which addresses this issue. It runs nearly 1 1/2 hours so I've not watched... | |
