| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth chakster, if you are curious, Technics offered at least three plinths for their SP-10 series of motor units. The first, for their initial SP-10 was a basic box frame. With the introduction of their SP-10 Mk 2 came the SH-10B5, a 38.2 pound compo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? chakster the subject was cartridges in the '70s/'80s, not today. Grado for example didn't sell more headphones at that time. And they may have been a small company (still are) but they were considered a major cartridge manufacturer.Also Decca, B... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? chakster, "You can add ADC and Sonus, Ortofon etc." Yes, except for Ortofon which is not a US company. But also add more major manufacturers such as Stanton, Pickering, and Empire which were American based. What source for information do you ha... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? "Technics claimed the SP-10MKIII would maintain speed with up to one thousand tonearms tracking at 2 grams each."The manual for my SP-10 Mk2A quotes maintained speed "even with a load torque up to 5 kg-cm (4.3 lbs. in.)" That's only 500 tonearms ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ahem, that should have read "work shirts".Spell-check often wants to change my intended word, so where was it this time?o10, I had pretty positive feelings about Nica from Robin Kelley's bio, "Thelonious Monk, The Life and Times of an American Ori... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ghost, I didn't make it through all 17 pages of Gottlieb's LOC photos, but I enjoyed looking at the first part. It struck me how many shots I'd seen before without knowing who was the photographer.A bit of trivia - Jack Crystal in that photo in t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Miss Minor" sounded like a soundtrack for an LA detective series. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks ghost. I don’t have emojis so nothing to suggest a tongue-in-cheek following my comment about Katz being from CA. But the first tune of his you linked suggested that to me. The later one about the Poodle I couldn’t get into to pass judgemen... | |
| Jazz for aficionados A sorry Brubeck story - at least sorry for me.Sometime in the early 2000s Brubeck was scheduled to perform with our local symphony. A friend who knew I was a fan ask if I wanted to get tickets. I declined, saying I'd seen him in concert a few ti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados To my ears, whether something "swings" or not is not part of my sense of East Coast VS West Coast. In general, East Coast is simply more blues based and has a harder beat. When I was young and first getting into jazz at the end of the '50s and e... | |
| How do tell when my stylus is too much worn? Not to muddy the waters but doesn't Van den Hul suggest 3,000 hours for his cartridges? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well frogman, some held a bias FOR those musicians while others held a bias AGAINST them. Such is human nature. ;^)But I understood the point you intended. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Many thanks frogman. I particularly enjoyed the live "Blue Rondo". I’ve always liked that as much if not better than "Take Five". Plus it was a treat watching them performing and getting such a kick out of each other. Now I’ll show my age by sayin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados For those who never saw it, and others like myself who would enjoy seeing it again, here is the nearly one hour documentary on the creation of "A Great Day In Harlem".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwP1g0zEHDwI was just learning to appreciate jaz... |
