Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B
fast mick, a very good question.Particularly with posts by someone who just admitted to not having a turntable for nearly 20 years, yet persists in responding here on a turntable thread.  But that may explain why they are so far off subject. ;^)

o10, I'm sorry you feel the need to continue your dispute with frogman.  He mentioned being on a very long flight to Asia so perhaps he has not returned home yet?  Who knows if he's even had continual internet connections?I for one hope he does re... 
Difference between Manley Compact 100 and Compact 80 amplifiers? Problems?
Harry, FYI the Compact 100 and 80 amplifiers were VTL products.  That has been a separate company from Manley for many years now.  I'd suggest contacting VTL for information about any differences between the amps.  I've owned both VTL and Manley a...

acman, thanks for the Coltrane post.  From the other listings along the right hand side it seems maybe the entire album is now available on YouTube.  My local jazz FM station featured it last week and gave away a few copies.nsp, my reference to co...

acman, thanks for those postings.  Many new/young musicians I'm not familiar with.In addition, one of those links led me to finding this, a brief "school" in jazz piano by the great Oscar Peterson -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec-FrnaU0rs 
The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars!
Thanks for posting this Josh.  But with all due respect to Wendell, the third paragraph doesn't make sense.If Hi Fi Centre has been "the place to hear the full potential of the speakers" then how can at least one of their rooms be "too small for b... 
Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best?
A further word on J Gordon Holt.  He conducted most of his listening evaluations utilizing master tapes which he made of acoustic classical performances.  And he seemed to posses a very good auditory memory.  That allowed him to make value judgeme...

For anyone concerned about the absence of new young talent in jazz just check out this Japanese teenager -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrHJoY6RzR0

The credits give it away, it's NKC.  Anyway, my comment before reading that was that Cole was more appropriate to the time period, being older than Oscar.  But I did hear a few Oscar similarities.  
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
lew, that’s my favorite Brooks film. I’ve seen it several times and still chuckle with each viewing.My most quoted line, "Could be worst, could be raining."  But there are almost too many to count.

For all you Coltrane fans, this should increase your interest in the "lost" recording -https://www.stereophile.com/content/john-coltranes-both-directions-once-lost-album-debuts-englewood-...

pjw, yes, that DVD is for the same Newport Festival concert. I saw the original movie while in college in the ’60s. It introduced me to a few musicians I was not yet familiar with, and some of the visual effects were very fitting with the music --... 
Pass Labs XA 25 Cables
kw6, two reviews of the XA25 I found online mention using the Maggie .7s in testing and raved about it.  I have no personal experience.

Good points rok.  Many folks, possibly including o10, only knew of Pops from seeing "High Society" or hearing "Hello Dolly".  Well, that was the Hollywood version, not the real man.  If you read about his life you may come to understand something ...
