| Soundtracks and Film scores, your favourites It was mentioned a couple of times in the link Al suggested, but I'll emphasize it here again.I've used the LP of "The Mission" for more than 20 years as a revealing test record and for pleasure. It is very spacious with a very wide soundstage, d... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp Its actually a line stage. Don also offers a phono stage but that is separate, not as an integrated preamplifier.I've owned one of his custom SP-14s for several months and continue to be delighted. It is absolutely quiet, offers great dynamics a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I believe I did mention Shelly Mann, but only in passing regarding the Previn Trio.I have a friend here who is a pro drummer, playing both jazz and classical (symphony). Shelly is his favorite and I hear that whenever I listen to Jim. Nothing fl... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And if you hold any doubt, here is Exhibit B -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Kx1GVYPOosI'm not a musician and am generally bored by long drum solos, but JM could sometimes be an exception. And note the respectful comments below the video.BTW, o... | |
| Jazz for aficionados And now for something completely different. (That is, I just hope it was not covered before I began reading this site!)After all the recommendations for female singers and bass, sax, guitar players, how about drummers? I’ll start by nominating som... | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... If good value = low cost in your mind, here are some suggestions.Mod a stereo cartridge - with a fine copper wire (maybe 24 ga or thinner, or even a single wire cut from a stranded bundle in a speaker wire) strap the hot pins (L & R) on the ca... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? My above post assumes the arm does not have a factory mounting template. Buying used arms typically eliminates that convenience. | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, and others interested in acoustic bass. I find Brian Bromberg’s playing to be quite good and this is a particularly well recorded album. At least through my speakers if not my iMac. ;^)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAWEfInjx5c&list=PLED... | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, your comment "I've been listening to violin since I can remember, on the radio, the movies, and I'm qualified to judge by comparison." really amazed me. Considering all the electronics any music passes through to be listened to with either o... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Lew, another method which I've done over the years is to create a template out of sturdy stock such as a file folder. I have basic drafting skills so can lay out a line with the exact center hole for the spindle, the P2S distance from that to arm... | |
| Feickert Protractor - anyone use one? Good point Lew.Actually I've utilized my Dennesen to precisely locate the spot to drill to mount an arm. With the P2S dimension given by the arm manufacturer and a steel metric ruler I set that distance on the Dennesen. Then placing the alignmen... | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... Thanks bdp24. I was trying to present an overview, but specific artist info like you offered should be helpful, specifically for reasons you mentioned.About the only thing worse than hard panning were the "electronically enhanced" stereo records,... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I said I was closing out my caravan contributions. I lied. I just couldn't resist adding "Desert Marauders" -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL877qkv_YM | |
| Jazz for aficionados o10, I have this album so don't know why I didn't think to post it earlier? It will close out my caravan contributions. At least this is closer to jazz than my last couple of links.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXLrrp49GqE | |
| Mono recordings - two questions... jjss49, I’ll share a few thoughts in the hope some of it might be helpful.Stereo LPs were introduced in late 1957, early 1958. For about a decade afterward most labels released both mono and stereo versions of given recordings. Among some jazz lov... |
