| Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions I second sbank's recommendation of Jerome Sabbaugh's excellent record. Also, try some Dave Holland when you get a chance. | |
| VPI HW17 vs Loricraft PRC4 Deluxe lewm - - I've owned a Loricraft PRC4 for about 10 years, during which time I've cleaned many 100's of records and gone thru a lot of cleaning fluid and a couple of spools of thread. The thing runs quietly and has never failed me. I stopped using... | |
| Radio stations for Jazz.... My favorite is WDCB (Chicago), which I listen to on my internet radio(s). | |
| Omega, Harbeth, JM Reynaud, ad Skylan I don't have the Super Alnico model - wish I did. I own a pair of original Hemptones in Makarssar Ebony. (After they shipped - over 10 years ago - Louis told me mine are the first production pair). I agree with the OP on break-in time - minimum... | |
| Small USA Record Company Since 1946 During what hours is the retail facility open? Next time I pass through Crowley I would like to pay a visit. | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge Stringreen - in answer to your question why anyone would want a mono cartridge, a true mono cartridge picks up modulations in the lateral groove but is insensitive to modulations in the vertical plane. If you have a less than perfect record with... | |
| Any love for the Phillips GA212 or 312? I owned a 212 from the mid 70's until about '83, and I really enjoyed it. It replaced my first "real" TT -a Dual 1015; and it was replaced by my first "high end" TT - a Linn LP12 with Basik arm. I have fond memories of the Phillips - - really li... | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge I finally decided on a new mono cartridge: ordered an Ortofon Cadenza mono from Needle Doctor. They're giving me a $320.00 trade-in credit on an old, worn out Ortofon Jubilee, so the net price for the new cartridge is $960.00. I'm looking forw... | |
| Columbia House Lives Again Yep - - still have the first (mono) LPs I bought from Columbia in 1962. | |
| Anyone using Music Hall MMF 9.1 TT. I owned a MMF 9 (with Goldring MC cart that came with it) for several years and used it in my secondary system - - on top of a Salamander Synergy 30 cabinet. I enjoyed it very much and never had any problems with isolation. Eventually I replaced... | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge lewm - - Sorry if I was unclear in my post: I said I was thinking of replacing the Helikon mono with an Ortofon mono but wasn't sure which one would be best. I would not go with the 2M but am looking at either the Cadenza or Quintet. Or . . . pe... | |
| Newbie, old timer or returned to analog? I've been collecting and listening to vinyl since the 1960's. I admit to having been sidetracked for a few years after the introduction of CD's, but I never gave up on vinyl, which is still my preferred medium. | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge Smoffatt - I don't know for sure - but suspect - the SE model is still available. You may want to check with Ortofon directly to find out. Or you could contact Acoustic Sounds or Needle Doctor.I was in Austin a few weeks ago and visited Whetsone A... | |
| Help me choose a mono cartridge I am also a fan of Ortofon cartridges. The 2M SE Mono was designed especially for the Beatles Mono Box set - - Here's a link to Ortofon's mono cartridge page that may be of interest to you: http://ortofon.com/hifi/products/mono-seriesI plan to rep... | |
| The Turn - second pressing is shipping I also bought a 1st press set and concur 100% with Mofimadness. One of my best purchases of the year - and then some! |
