| Jazz for aficionados Thanks ghost, I’m glad there is still someone else out there.Here’s another Sarah. When I started buying jazz albums I joined the Columbia Record Club, something like 10 or 12 LPs for pocket change. "After Hours" was one of my initial choices. I a... | |

| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning fsonicsmith, "When a reviewer automatically dismisses analogue as a faulty medium or insists upon truthful reproduction of the lowest octave of pipe-organ or double-bass, I know to steer clear."I share your skepticism with commercial reviewers, wh... | |
| The Fisher 100 Micro Receiver Radio Friends of mine had a Fisher 100 back in the late '60s, early '70s. I wasn't familiar with the KLH Eight yet and Advent hadn't introduced their FM radio. So I was amazed to hear that sound quality from such a compact unit.It could likely benefit... | |
| Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G? invictus005, I believe Baerwald is a real alignment. This link is for his AES paper of 1941. He acknowledges Lofgren who developed a similar alignment in 1938.http://www.helices.org/auDio/turnTable/baerwald.pdf Anyway, it is common to see Baerw... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, yes, "5 x 5" was what I intended. Don't know what happened, so thanks for correcting.o10, I did enjoy those. But that's an album I don't have, so a rare time we are out of step. ;^)Now, not jazz?, maybe jazz?, certainly jazz? o10 and rok ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frog. I have the "Live at the Sands" recording on CD. I love the entire album except for Sinatra's monolog. That smacks too much of the old white guys doing the Amos 'N Andy routine. I could just imagine members of the band cringing whi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados So, a little more on my feelings about Ellington, not that any of you might or should care. ;^)I'm not much of a fan of big band jazz in general. By necessity too much must be charted out. Yes there are solos within a number but the ensemble pla... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, often I appreciate your recommendations here. But I must admit I was a bit taken aback by your statement, "You will be amazed at the number of 'so-called' Aficionados, that just don't get it."Not to start another controversy here but that su... | |
| Jazz for aficionados At the bottom of one of the Chico links was this one, certainly worth including here if it never has been -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbaGDDbpcQ4Which raises an interesting point. An album can be released, sell moderately well, then sort of ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well o10, here's an album I bought in the early '60s. I considered it "pretty far out" at the time but soon came to enjoy it. So you can see that Old and New Dreams's recordings were a natural progression for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frog, I had the pleasure of hearing Basie and band on what may have been his last tour, sometime in the early '80s. He came on stage in a small electric scooter/chair. But once he transferred to the piano bench there was no limitation. The musi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks rok, that's what I'm talking about. There is just that bounce and rhythmic drive in Basie's music that pulls me along. Doesn't matter if the tempo is fast, slow, or in between.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCmcoZktZG4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Perfect examples frog. I don't diminish Duke's talent or all that he created, I simply prefer listening to Basie.Personal taste and preferences are not always easy describe. We may know where we are but not necessarily how we got there. ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frog, I've been intending to post Super Sax for some time but always get sidetracked.And rok, that is my favorite Ellington album. I admit to not enjoying his music as much as many jazz fans do, I prefer Basie. But that Newport record is ... |
