| Classical Music for Aficionados schubert, I expected my admission about lack of musical training would be well understood. I don't have much basis for technical evaluation in comparing performances. So I rely on emotional reaction, along with memories of other performances of ... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados schubert, of course I've heard "the big guy" perform Nessum Dorma and it was enjoyable. But he didn't tingle my emotional fibers as Bjorling's version does. I say that as someone without any musical training but as an active listener since I was... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes o10, you posted another winner.Which reminded me of the wonderful "Doo Wop" show presented by TJ Lubinsky and aired on PBS. Dating back to 2000, this may have been the first of what has become a long series of "oldies" music with his producti... | |

| The cleaning of an LP jacket Is Sleevecity out of business? I just tried that link and saw their domain is for sale.bdp24, if you were famous I wouldn't mind your autograph, but if you're not I'd rather have the jacket/label clean. ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, it is interesting to call up popular music from the '50s. Things were still more regional at that time. If you could find Top Ten record lists from Boston, NYC, Philly, Detroit, Chicago, New Orleans, and LA for a given date I believe you wo... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados schubert and kef, I didn't "get into" classical music until college, but that did not include opera. Over the years a few friends were opera buffs so I was exposed to it. I then developed some enjoyment for the music itself and added several ope... | |
| Jazz for aficionados In addition to music I've been a film fan my whole adult life. With movies I particularly enjoy the Cohen Brothers so bought the DVD of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" early on. Later I was delighted to find the soundtrack on a 2-LP set.I'm a huge ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Categories? We don' need no stinkin' categories!For me, a problem arose when too many categories were identified. Many of those were actually sub-sets, not stand alone for example. Some viewed blues and rhythm and blues as individual identifier... | |
| Jazz for aficionados rok, you keep posting treasures from my youth. ;^) And I fully agree about the importance to the young.But as I attempted to explain previously, I don't differentiate Rock and Roll from Rock musically. But maybe that's just me. Apparently you v... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados I’m new to this site and have not read through all the posts, so these may have already been suggested.Regarding Rachmaninoff: Symphonic Dances. Analogue Productions. — Dallas Symph Orch. Johanos, cond., it is an audiophile favorite and I have the... | |
| The cleaning of an LP jacket I doubt that theo's suggestion of an ohmmeter will help at all! ;^)I used a lightly dampened paper towel or gum eraser in the past. But I like the prospect of slaw's suggestion much better.Of course it may make a difference between glossy printe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "I think the Mississippi intellectuals, folks who could read, write and figure, lived up around Oxford." Great line! ;^)When I visited my friend and his wife in Oxford we took a side trip to Clarksdale. I just had to see the famous blues "crossr... | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp miketuason, and possibly handymann, if you demand "scientific proof" then I think you are in the wrong hobby. For how many years now has debate raged over tube/ss, analog/digital, dynamic speakers/planar/horn, and so on? Has there been scientifi... | |
| Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning stringreen, did you buy all or most of your records new? I believe that can make a big difference, particularly if one is careful about how they treat/handle their records, which I suspect you may be.But I've become a believer in US even without ... |
