| for Bill Evans fan Waltz for Debby is hard to beat. Everything wiht LaFaro & Motian blows me away!Cheers,Spencer | |
| CONUNDRUM Handyman,It's a shame you ended up with a mismatched cart and phono stage, but that certainly sounds like the problem. Adding a transformer is a terrible idea IMHO, and clearly avoids the root cause.If the PH7 is designed for LOMC cart, then get o... | |
| Dynamic speakers for OTL amps Focus on speakers with easy to drive impedance, ideally not dipping below 8 ohms. While some might suggest autoformers to eliminate this concern, I would beg to differ and suggest that you avoid autoformers unless you listen to them extensively fi... | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever Rockadanny, you are more than welcome! I'm gonna have to spring for the 45rpm version of St. James Infirmary one of these days...Cheers,Spencer | |
| Top 10 Jazz recordings ever It shocks me that a long list of audionuts would reply to this question without mentioning Louis Armstrong Plays King Oliver. This is probably the demo LP and song(St. James Infirmary) that I've heard offered as a reference by more audiophiles and... | |
| Great films where music is a central theme. The Jazz Baroness(ie ~"Mrs. Monk"), I am Trying to Break Your Heart, The Commitments, Jimi Hendrix bio (title escapes me) narrated by Bootsy CollinsCheers,Spencer | |
| VDH Colibri Gold LW on SME 5 Arm From what I read, an effective mass of 10.5g, should be fine. I would ask Johan at highendbroker. He sells many of that cart, and knows them well. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Dumb Question about wi fi Isn't it true that the SB Touch only does 24/96 and the SB 3 or SB Classic doesn't go over /48? OP mentioned high rez, so doesn't he need something else? I enjoy my SB3 with redbook AIFF files, but think that is the end of the road for the upper l... | |
| LP care With my VPI 16.5 I started out w/VPI fluid, found Disc Doctor better than that, and as one of the original beta testers found Audio Intelligent even better. When I tried Walker Audio Prelude (4 steps) I knew I found my solution (pun intended!). An... | |
| Berning ZH-270 & Joule Electra LA-100 MK3 speaker Tubegroover said much of what I think. Merlins and Berning/Joule are a perfect fit. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Zappa question Hots Rats for sure!Overnight Sensation is great too, but it's full of humor that some don't care for. I love it for both the music and the crazy wit. enjoy,Spencer | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Manitunc,It is just you. You are reading comments from at least one who English is not his native tongue, but has done a pretty damn good job of learning how to explain many technical subjects full of complex jargon. More importantly, he is able i... | |
| Walker Prelude Quartet users with VPI 16.5 Theo,I've been using this same combo for a couple of years and can honestly say that it works great. I've tried most of the record cleaning fluids, and the Walker Prelude is the best by far. I've never had any wobble or heat issues w/my 16.5, and ... | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time The Yes Album is superb, but it is their third LP. Time and a Word is their 2nd, and unfortunately that one doesn't belong on this list. A couple more...Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic PillowREM - ReckoningCheers,Spencer | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. P,You haven't mentioned anything about what line and phone stages you will be using. A great phono stage is a requirement for any top quality turntable. Anyway, Mr. Woodworker, here's a great place to start:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?a... |
