mahgister, here is a trumpet/flugelhorn player not often mentioned, Art Farmer.  Nothing flashy, just great, melodic playing.  This is a favored album from my man Mulligan.    
First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35
rankaudio, no idea how long you've been in this hobby, but the ST-35 was a popular component back in the 1960s.  So little wonder there is scant mention of it today. Back at that time I built Dynakit ST -70, PAS-3 and FM-3, so I'm familiar with D... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, with all due respect, referencing a review by Hirsch? Back in the '70s a local high end dealer offered this on his reviews: "They usually offer two worthwhile bits of information.  The component dimensions tell if it will fit on your shelf...

"Had an amazing ability to gather top musicians and create great bands." That was often acknowledged. But still Frank may not have received enough credit for those he brought to play with him.  Great musicianship and they "fit" so well into his m... 
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records
@antinn  I was able to switch from Safari to Firefox and open your document.  There I was able to find Chapter and Appendix links.  Thanks

voodoolounge, we should have ask that of Steve Allen when we had the chance. ;^) I've really enjoyed FZ since the first hearing.  Although I like his later albums better than the first few.   Many put him down, even rock fans, because they thoug... 
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records
@antinn  Neil, thanks for the prompt reply.  However I don't see a left hand drop-down for the Table of Contents.  I use Safari on my iMac.  Left or right clicking does not bring it up.  Anyone else have this problem? Thanks  
Precision Aqueous Cleaning of Vinyl Records
@antinn  Neil, I'll add my thanks for this extraordinarily detailed effort.  Plus the fact that you and Bill are willing to offer it without charge. +++++ One suggestion if I might.  I only skimmed the document to see the content.  It would be h... 
Di I really need to clean my LP's?
mc, no offense but if you don't understand the various reasons for record cleaning and need to ask then possibly you are one of those who dosen't need to bother. However even a simple search for record cleaning will turn up hundreds of positive r... 
Manly Stingray....Opinions from any owners?
poke, I doubt you will be disappointed.  I have a pair of Snapper mono amps and have been pleased with the performance and service by Manley. I had the chance to tour the Manley facility twice with my (then) local audio club.  It was impressive w... 
How best to eliminate LP warps
@terry9, yes something similar can work for some dished records.  However I had a Kuzma table  which utilized a washer (diameter no more than a quarter) and threaded clamp and I only had partial success with that. But you mention a thin beveled w... 
How best to eliminate LP warps
Interesting post Lew.  I believe I have a similar situation.  With a number of records in my collection (possibly a majority?), if I watch for arm movement while playing a record I can note slight side to side or up and down movement.  But I do no... 
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
cleeds, thanks for digging out that review.  Anyone with interest in the 901s should find it worthwhile reading. And while it may be more complementary than my memory recalled, Holt did express several reservations.  But first I would note that r... 
Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY
veemike, I don't know much about Ohm production, but have you compared with any specialty/custom built product in the last year or two?  Family members contracted to have a new home built last year and the string of delays and price increases has ... 
Jazz for aficionados
acman, I'm not much of a fan of big band jazz, but Herman is one of my exceptions.  I have this album and enjoy it, other than the electric piano.  I know they were popular around this time but I never cared for them. Here's an earlier version of...
