| Is the Acoustic Research Ax Ta ecc Really an overrated Poor mans Turntable? vinny, don't know why you have a burr under your saddle about the AR tables? But I wonder how much you know about them and if you ever even heard one in a decent playback system?The AR-XA was introduced in 1961. That was a time dominated by rim-... | |
| Is the Acoustic Research Ax Ta ecc Really an overrated Poor mans Turntable? bdp, I think the Mayware Formula 4 was a popular replacement for the standard AR arm.

| Is the Acoustic Research Ax Ta ecc Really an overrated Poor mans Turntable? I've restored a couple of these for friends. Also owned them new back in the day. When set up properly they can still provide a rewarding musical experience.But exactly who "overrated" them? | |
| Why don't we make a list of best pressings ? richopp, yes the Sheffield LPs are special.But Mayorga's recordings won't be up to everyone's taste. I consider them "smaltz" but YMMV.Fortunately there are others, such as the Dave Grusin, Tower of Power, "I've Got The Music In Me", and a few mo... | |

| Upgrade from Technics SP25 gotog, this is not to suggest you upgrade your table, Raul and chakster have given good advice.However if you are not aware I thought you might like knowing more about your table. Technics offered three SP model tables at different price points. ... | |

| Mono Cartridge Recommendations peter, the answers to many of your questions will depend on the specific monos you listen to.I’ve read that no mono cutter heads have been available/in use since around 1990. So all of the newer mono reissues were made with a stereo cutter head. F... | |
| Jazz for aficionados There has been a bit of discussion on this site about the value of new artists and current direction for jazz.I just received this link from a friend. It is a PBS special which addresses this issue. It runs nearly 1 1/2 hours so I've not watched... | |

| Jazz for aficionados One of schubert's links led me to this.I think if Count was any more relaxed he'd doze off. Still, it swings pretty well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCx5_-P4EH4 | |
| Jazz for aficionados First off, I noticed o10 has recent comments on other A'gon sites so know he is current, even if not posting much here. But I feel a tip'o'the'hat is due his way for beginning this discussion. It is approaching 1.5 MILLION views and has over 15,... |
