| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Per Ancestry I do have Eastern European heritage, but they keep changing the percentage. From what I've learned my great-grandfather was born in either Poland or Russia. Apparently the boundary changed frequently during the mid-1800s.That's as c... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? nandric, that is good of you. But thanks in part to Raul, I now have a large collection of cartridges. I still have the Shinon and should I decide I don't like anything better I can try getting it retipped. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Wow, frog, that's a very impressive list. Certainly many there I would not have guessed. Although some (Jaco) were born in the area rather than in the city itself. Maybe the air is cleaner than in NYC? ;^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? @nandric, an as new Red boron for me? That's very good of you! ;^) | |
| Jazz for aficionados I admit to my lack to technical musical knowledge, but see no need to apologize for it. I still feel the emotion when listening and that pleases me. Good music (on my personal scale) imprints itself within me. I'm sometimes surprised, yet delig... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? raul and others,No "facts" here, which I know you appreciate, just observations.Regarding boron cantilevers, one of my all time favorite cartridges was the Shinon Red Boron I enjoyed for many years. The suspension collapsed within a few months i... | |

| Jazz for aficionados pjw, I'm curious about defining the "golden age of jazz from 1935 through 1965"? Is that your framework or someone else's?I ask because I have a different perspective. Perhaps not "golden age" but for me the real beginning of modern jazz begins ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados keegaim, if you want to dig deeper into Miles, among the many bios I might suggest "Miles, The Autobiography" with Quincy Troupe. That is if you are looking for more than you'll find by sampling recordings from his various "periods". | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks pjw for that interview. I've read the Miles wanted to record with Hendrix but wondered how he was exposed to his music -- radio airplay? friend's records? | |
| 2 Wonderful Stereo LP's RESCUED by: MONO MODE and BALANCE lew, elliott, others,Many of those false stereo releases were labeled "electronically enhanced for stereo". I always avoided those.And certainly many early true stereo recordings had exaggerated separation between L and R channels. Some called t... | |

| Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc raul, didn't you comment a few years ago that you found the AT-666 improved your SP-10 Mk2, even without using the vacuum feature? Possibly better inertia from the (then) heavier platter? | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? totem, "arm found on Micro Seiki DD-40 turntable, still identifiedas an MA-505 although different from the arms soldon their own".Other than the base for each arm, what is the difference? From a quick look they appear to be identical. | |
| Jazz for aficionados schubert, I know this is a jazz site, but since you mentioned Bjorling, I'll offer this.Admittedly I'm not much of an opera fan, although I enjoy several overtures. But years ago I heard a RCA CD, "Opera Goes To The Movies". That was a budget ef... |
