| Stuff You Tried To Love hey @stuartk - you like progressive jazz , which is what I initially liked when it was current when I was in college. My taste evolved when I got older and started listening to "real" jazz (Sirius' designation, not mine). I still mix some of the ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love @knock1 - I guess I should have said if you don't like Kind of Blue, you don't enjoy listening to jazz. You are equating not liking it to disliking it. There is a difference. | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love I listen to jazz probably 40% of the time (otherwise classic rock - only classical is that part of Days of Future Passed), mainly late fifties to mid 60's with a little progressive stuff in there from the 80's and beyond. Of course Coltrane is he... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms BTW, I had a linear arm back in college on a Phase Linear 8000 that I thought was so cool. I assumed that was the best design since there is no anti-skate to worry about and the arm is perfectly tangential to the record groove at all points. I did... | |
| Comparison of sonic qualities of some tonearms I upgraded the arm only on my Rega P5 from an RB700 to an RB880 keeping the same van den Hut MC One Special cartridge and everything else the same. The difference was immediately noticeable and incredible. Much more than when I upgraded the table ... | |
| Seeking Honest Opinions: Your Experience with McIntosh Audio Gear Supposedly Jeff Rowland makes the best SS amps, although I've never stepped up to the plate for one. I'm still very happy with my 18 year old SS Plinius integrated AB amp. The OPPOSITE of McIntosh - very plain Jane, but excellent. I don't want to ... | |
| vibration control - cd player It depends on the weight of your CD player. If the Townshend seismic platform will work with the weight (they have like 4-5 different tensions for the podiums), I feel that is the best vibration control product out there, but you have to make sure... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off Why all the controversy? Check with the manufacturer. Plinius told me to to leave it on all the time for maximum life since cycling on and off causes more wear and tear than just leaving it on and since it is a Class AB SS amp it draws very littl... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover @larsman - at this point Donald does whatever the hell he wants. The only one he plays that he thinks the audience wants is Rikki Don't Lose that Number. They used to never play it when they first started touring again after their breakup in the e... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed I would consider upgrading the arm of the P3 to a RB880 (which has better wiring) from Rega. Back when I had a P5, I upgraded the arm to it from the older RB700 that came with it. Incredible difference. Even more than when I upgraded the table to ... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover My favorite album of all time. Recently got the UHQR of it shipped the day it was released. Incredible....blew away my Mofi Original Master. Unfortunately (but expectedly) it hurt the resale value of the Mofi. But I sold it anyway..... I think it ... | |
| Steely Dan Aja cover I learned another thing on the 'Got. Thanks @theflattire | |
| Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice Why $20K? Maybe you will find one for less that you can't beat for that number. Are you trying to impress someone saying you spent $20K on speakers? Maybe you'll find $50K used ones for $20K. You will most likely be happy with many different mode... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Did the seller say they had the original boxes? That would be sufficient if the original packing materials were used. If not, did they say how they intended to pack ship them? If they misrepresented, they are liable. If you didn't ask, shame on yo... | |
| Cost Incurred to Achieve a Vinyl LP Replay What language was that in? Brevity is important. Why is an ancillary? |
