| Hard Bop, sans drum solos ? Drum solos are an integral part of the jazz idiom, where every instrument gets the opportunity to solo. Jazz Messengers, Coltrane, Clifford Brown/Max Roach. But I agree with the above that Horace Silver has less of it, although IMO, Horace took ... | |
| Silver plated copper Some of the most expensive cables made, such as Jorma and MIT use copper exclusively. IMO, some cable makers may use silver-plated wires only to be able to use the word "silver" in their marketing. I don't think we, as consumers, have the opport... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement There is nothing worse than speakers that won't work with the room. I've said this many times, but in a normal domestic environment without a huge amount of placement flexibility, it is a total crapshoot in finding a speaker. But when it clicks ... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement I spent years working in recording studios and there are many, many devices that are used to "enhance" the recorded sound that manipulate phase and eq. While high-end has traditionally eschewed tone controls, equalizers and phase manipulation at t... | |

| Loose hinges in a Pioneer pl-12d turntable This used to happen on my Linn. I finally just took them off and put the dust cover on when I wasn't using it. Your cheapest option might be to buy a complete used PL12 for cheap and salvage the parts. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important I think we all knee jerk into conflating distortion with noise or some other objectionable sound. In reality, distortion is only the difference between the input and the output of a device. A parametric equalizer, which virtually every mastering... | |
| my first analog setup , some advice please As you are dealing with a dealer, which is smart in the case of a new analog setup, I would suggest asking him what he feels would make the most improvement in your system. You might be surprised. I was once convinced I needed a new amplifier, b... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Just a little point here - I had a 2900 and it was a well-built unit with a smooth, non-offensive sound. I hope you find a nice dac you are happy with, but don't automatically assume you will prefer it to what you have. That's why you really hav... | |
| What is the Best LP Cover Art for you Wall I have Philly Joe Jones Showcase up on my wall. Nice picture of PJJ behind an absolutely wrong-sized set of Gretsch drums, but it still looks cool if you can look past the photo inaccuracy. | |
| Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner Using it for years with no problems. But, as with anything to do with stylus cleaning, you have to be careful not to move the cleaner while the stylus is on it. Just down and straight up. Also, I basically just use it between sides, but then us... | |
| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? Do you have the clock? Maybe you just need to optimize the Puccini to get what you are looking for. The clock makes a big difference IMO. | |
| Anyone Ever Tried This...? I think I would just rather use a strobe. | |
| Phono Stages with External Power Supplies...Worth It? In my years of dealing with Naim equipment, I found that adding a power supply made a huge improvement in the sound. Not just "smoother" or "more musical" or stuff like that. It made the music sound more musically complete, like going from stand... | |
