| Jazz for aficionados Hi o10,I’m not familiar with DOL, in fact never heard of it before. I did note from the link you provided they are from Russia and apparently they are all bootlegs. I would avoid them based simply on that. Plus some of the user comments below the ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks o10, I enjoyed that. I’d read the review in Stereophile of the "Small Town" album and was curious. This was an interesting video, I noted posted by ECM, apparently on a turntable shot outside so the cloud reflections could be captured. But... | |
| CleanerVinyl-Ultrasonic record cleaner slaw, thanks for bringing up steaming, something I've wondered about before jumping into the US circle.So where does that rank in an absolute sense between wet/vacuum cleaning and US cleaning? I realize the cost difference is significant but that... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, thanks for the Bley link. I wasn't familiar with that recording, but I like it.And while I had to also listen to "Ring Christmas Bells", your link reminded me of this brief Monk piece not associated with Christmas -https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Better that than being on "Meds"!And now, for a little seasonal enjoyment -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RkwS8v1qik | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Mingus, here's another. This time including Jimmy Knepper, a trombone player not mentioned much these days but included on a significant number of great albums.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7CoJEyiSfEAnd o10, just for you a compari... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, not to discredit Adams (I enjoy him too) but Ronnie Cuber is given credit for the bari work on the Mingus album. | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I have maybe 20 Brubeck albums and that one must be in my top 5. But no, I've never actually rated them all. ;^)frog, that Mulligan/Getz album is the one I have. Also I should have known that Chaloff was one of the famed Four Brothers. My ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Nice Mulligan choices o10. Here’s a bari player I wasn’t familiar with while he was still alive. Fortunately the music lives on.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=degZcUFL9SAIt might require a couple of listens but I didn’t enjoy that Cherry as much ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks frog, yes I have that album too. Also his recordings with Getz and with Monk. As you say, Farmer is just wonderful in the one I posted. But one can hardly talk about Mulligan without referencing his albums with Chet Baker, starting with ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Now, at the danger of repeating a recommendation posted previously, I offer this. It was among the first jazz albums I bought, I was still in high school. Mulligan has been a favorite ever since. I love his small group recordings and even appre... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi frog, thanks so much for all your follow up efforts on the direct disc process. I thought the master disc was the "mother" from which the stampers were produced? Saving the extra processing steps was key to their sonic qualities. So the issu... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes o10, I'm waiting too, though it is not critical.I do own a few D2D LPs, but all of them were produced by US companies. So it was just a curiosity about the Japanese pressing. | |
| VPI 16.5 Cleaning Machine - Drying Question I suspect sevs may be right. My 16.5 is old enough the manual didn't specify the pick up tube setting. But checking with VPI it was recommended to set the slot at 185 degrees when viewed from the outer end (on a 360 degree circle of course).Afte... | |
| PSE Studio V acquisition PSE components were not well known but I found them exceptionally musical.In the early '80s I owned Vandersteen speakers and had the chance to visit Audioquest's facilities. Their audition system included the same model speakers but with PSE elec... |
