| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Harold, I don’t doubt it at all and as we all know system context is very important. Curious, have you tried the AT 150 that the 180 was compared to? I haven’t owned either one, but would consider purchasing the 150 if I can find one; I think it w... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, I have. I played it years ago under Zdenek Macal; one of my favorite little known conductors. Lovely symphony with, as you suggested, some nice clarinet writing. Doesn’t get performed nearly often enough. The opening to mvt.3 is particula... | |
| Jazz for aficionados As always, great to see the clarinet get some love. Thanks, nsp.When one puts the words clarinet and timbre in the same sentence it’s hard to not think of Jimmy Hamilton, Ellington’s beautiful clarinet player:https://youtu.be/soXccIs8FZQFeatured i... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Victors:Well, I am not prepared to say which is the best by listening to only one recording this way, but I am pretty comfortable saying which is my favorite: The X-1IIE. My least favorite: the X-1IIWith both the X-1 and X-1II high frequencies sou... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Perhaps it wasn’t clear from my earlier comments, and to reiterate and clarify: I think that the AT 180 is an excellent sounding cartridge. My comments, as always, were about the subtle differences between it and the other cartridge (the 150) bei... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 **** To me....they sound almost identical !! ****Ah, but you said “almost”; not, identical to. You did also say that to you the 180 “had the magic”. You clearly are hearing differences. So, how to describe what keeps them from sounding identical a... | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Listened on my Stax Lambda Pro Sig/T1 tube driver setup with IPad as the source. As always, acknowledging the limitations in listening this way. Two terrific cartridges and nice recording. Possibly due to the overindulgence over the last couple of... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Yes, it is; the clip was meant for the OP. Timmons was a badass. | |

| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Listened on my Stax/Lambda Pro Sig/T1 tube driver.Well, I wouldn’t dream of suggesting that the Palladian sounds $9,890 better than the JVC, but it does sound better...a lot better. I really do wish I could say that the JVC sounds as good as the P... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Outstanding! Best I have ever heard Grover sound. Thanks. https://youtu.be/IyTs63SsYvA | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, you guys beat me to my two favorites! Two more that I really like. One of my favorite piano players that we don’t hear enough about:https://youtu.be/klHZuEo0YbAOne of the most insteresting CTI’s, imo. For sheer instrumental ability, proba... |
