ghosthouse, your comment "there's a lot of discussing and obsessing about the best hardware for audio when the critical variable that can make a mega $ system sound like trash or a mid-fi system sound great is the recording itself!" should be post...

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
chakster, ".  .  .  if you want to talk about unique design. And cacti growed by his friend Frank Schröder"Cacti styli may now be unusual, but they are not"unique".  At the beginning of home playback the acoustical Victrolas and other models utili... 
MONO cartridge recommendation
hdm, to be clear, those dates I suggested referred to time when the record was produced, not when they were recorded.  That is why nearly all mono reissues may be better served with a modern narrow stylus profile.Still, we listen for different thi... 
MONO cartridge recommendation
Mono LP playback seems so basic it should be simple.  And yet there are multiple posts here and in other sites which suggest otherwise.I don't pretend to have great expertise but since I own a few hundred mono LPs I've done a fair bit of reading o... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, now you've confused me again with your statement, "Remember that my main target in my home system is to stay nearer to the recording not to the live experiences."How many of us can have the experience of hearing a recording session to then j... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thanks Raul, apparently I just assumed wrongly that vinyl was your preference over the years of this post, with MMs being your favorites until recently when you again discovered MCs you found satisfying.  At least up until your most recent stateme... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi Raul,I'm not sure you understood the intent of my post when you replied, "I understand your concern about but in reality that did not happens that way."My point was my assumption that your stated position on digital playback had likely develope... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
For what it's worth, to Technics EPC 100 fans.Several years ago one of my audio buddies recovered the EPC 100 Mk4 he bought new years prior to that.  He became curious after I advised him of Raul's post on MM cartridges.Since he was the original o... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Harold, yes, I've enjoyed that since Tull's album "Stand Up" was released in 1969.frogman, that was much more enjoyable.  An interesting point about his lip-syncing the earlier video, sometimes a large space like an abandoned warehouse can provide...

Yes o10, back on your feet soon would be nice.  But the important thing is that you get back on your feet again.  So have patience, and stay positive.  There is simply too much great jazz to enjoy yet. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Raul, with all due respect, I find your recent comments dumfounding.  How could you have spent so much time, and expense, over the past nearly 10 years in exploring analog playback when you believe digital is so superior/more accurate?  When you e... 
Advent 201 tapedeck: Is good for a modern setup?
Interesting that you resurrect this old post Norm.I have a good quality Pioneer deck (settled on after owning HK, Tandburg, Nak, and Akai models) and at least 100 carefully made cassettes.  It needs a belt replacement (for the auto door, not an ea... 
Jazz for aficionados
That's funny frog.  Before reading to the end of your post I started thinking of "Focus" as the sole exception to my "no string orchestras in jazz" rule.  In fact, I was going to find a link and post it. ;^)So you saved me the trouble.  BTW, I've ... 
Jazz for aficionados
o10, I think that video is mis-labeled.  I was expecting something by the Blue String Orchestra!  ;^)  More correctly it is -- Paul Desmond, "Desmond Blue" with string orchestra.  I know, not your doing.Aside from that anal reaction, I just never ...
