| Jazz for aficionados "o", thanks for posting. That is from the Previn album I have.Not sure if this is true but I read someplace that Previn's "My Fair Lady" was the top selling jazz LP for a number of years. I have both but prefer "West Side Story", probably becaus... | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Hi sj, two years ago I believe I solved my own quest for possibly my "last" speakers.I've been in this hobby for decades and have owned more speaker models over that time than I ever counted. That was until I discovered the Duntech Princess which... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I agree about Peterson frogman. I've owned that LP for years, along with the Andre Previn Trio version which I enjoy also. But Oscar's lightening fingers and ability to infuse emotion keep that atop anything I've heard from other artists. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frustration with bad liner notes/quality control!I suspect we all find this from time to time, but it seems like a company as large as Columbia could do a better job -- or maybe it is because they are so big!?Monk is a long time favorite and I hav... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8b in Harry's system bdp24, thank you. That is the sort of response that can actually be of some value for anyone wondering about the ET speakers. You included rationale as well as personal observations. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? invictus, I believe you left something out of your statement, "Ortofon 2M Black is without doubt the best sounding MM cartridge". It should have been preceded by "In my opinion . . ."Anyone who has been in this hobby very long knows there is no... | |
| Jazz for aficionados tablejock, my comment was based upon never hearing the term (as a musical category) until the San Diego station began advertising it. While I live somewhat close to LA I didn't search out jazz stations from there. So no claim to authenticity abo... | |
| Professional Speaker Set-Up - South Florida ihmeyers, one of the most respected set-up consultants is Jim Smith. His book/videos "Get Better Sound", could be a reasonable answer for you to resolve this yourself in your temporary residence.Then, once you move to more permanent housing you c... | |
| Jazz for aficionados frogman, I consider "smooth jazz" to be an oxymoron. For me a better term is elevator music! In fact I find it embarrassing that the concept seems to have originated by a FM station here in San Diego several years ago. There is even a locally p... | |
| Jazz for aficionados orpheus, since you listen to jazz station streaming, have you ever tried KSDS FM, the City College station in San Diego? I favor music from the '50s to early '70s and they continue to cover quite a lot of that.https://www.jazz88.org/default.aspI ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, matter? Only if you need to book a room at Faulty Towers. ;^) | |
| Repair service in Southern California Since you're willing to drive a little, Mike Zuccaro is located in Mira Mesa on the north side of San Diego between the 805 and 15. He specializes in older gear and has successfully made repairs for me as well as friends. http://audiocraftsman.com | |
| LTA - MZ2 Driving solid state amps. Lance, for clarification for others, I assume that was a typo and your phono stage is a Parasound JC-3+. I doubt a pair of JC-1s would be needed in that set up. | |
| Tannoy Prestige made in China? In another post on this subject someone reported that the Prestige Series would continue to be built in Scotland while all lesser models would indeed be made in China.That would make sense but I'm not certain if it is true. | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? Lew and harold,I remember that ET arms were popular on Oracle tables but I never understood why? I owned an Oracle for awhile and found it to be EXTREMELY sensitive to balance. Mine had a sort of counterweight balance under the platter but I sti... |
