| Jazz for aficionados pjw, I realize I'm commenting among the heavyweights here, once frogman joined in. But I'm a big fan of Brubeck individually, many of his quartets, and particularly when accompanied by Morello. In fact I've posted "Castilian Drums" here previous... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? raul my friend, two replies -- First, that comment was intended at least in part in humor. That's why I included the smiley face. But secondly, I'm far from the only one with that recollection of Hirsch. I've seen many dubious or negative comm... | |
| MM, MC, or MI cartridge rvpiano, I'm aware you listen to lots of classical music. Do you spend much time listening to other types? I ask because of the experience of a friend who had quite a refined musical ear. He could not find just one cartridge that suited all the... | |
| Kudos to Millersound One of my audio pals had MIlleresound do a couple different restorations for him and he was exceedingly pleased. I exchanged info myself with Bill, enough to decide my project was not worth doing. Very prompt and direct answers. It's easy to un... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, here's something similar from a great album, "Country, Rhythm and Blues". | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks knolbrent, back in the '70s and '80s I owned a number of cassette decks. They included Nak, Tandberg, Harman-Kardon, Aiwa, Pioneer, and Denon. Because of the time interval my comments today must be only general terms. First off, beware of prere... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Lester, here's a Mingus minus Mingus tribute. Then for fun, read some of the posted comments. | |
| Rtr speakers We had a Fulton dealer in San Diego who was devoted to J Gordon Holt's reviews in Sterephile. So when Gordon praised Fulton speakers they began featuring a J system. Everything Fulton added, from the Gold speaker wire to the preamp were added to... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As a foursome they were well known back in the day. Individually only Getz and Sims were popular and recorded often. Steward and Chaloff not so much. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Speaking of Clark Terry, friends recommended his film, "Keep On Keepin' On". They were somewhat familiar with Terry's work but had no idea how many musicians he influenced. Unfortunately I've not been able to see it yet myself. But this intervi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados acman, when I was in college back in the early '60s I saw the great documentary, "Jazz on a Summer's Day". Giuffre, Brookmeyer, and Hall opened that with "The Train and the River". That was my introduction to Guiffre and I thought it was really ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados mahgister, here is a trumpet/flugelhorn player not often mentioned, Art Farmer. Nothing flashy, just great, melodic playing. This is a favored album from my man Mulligan. | |
| First Watt SIT3 vs Dynakit ST35 rankaudio, no idea how long you've been in this hobby, but the ST-35 was a popular component back in the 1960s. So little wonder there is scant mention of it today. Back at that time I built Dynakit ST -70, PAS-3 and FM-3, so I'm familiar with D... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, with all due respect, referencing a review by Hirsch? Back in the '70s a local high end dealer offered this on his reviews: "They usually offer two worthwhile bits of information. The component dimensions tell if it will fit on your shelf... | |
| Hot Rats "Had an amazing ability to gather top musicians and create great bands." That was often acknowledged. But still Frank may not have received enough credit for those he brought to play with him. Great musicianship and they "fit" so well into his m... |
