| Repair or mod CJ PV-12? Tubegroover, I'm glad what you like best about your PV-9 was retained; for us that's a just right sound, we don't care about no stinking neutral. I just got off the phone inquiring about the PV-12, and was told whoever takes care of it is out of t... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? The old pro needs some help from you newbees; I had been using Quantegy 456 grand master, but I now see $270.99 a reel, tell me it ain't so.I need advice on blank tape, what are you guys using? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, you didn't comment on "Pepper Adams Plays Mingus". This music is for "very serious" fans of Charles Mingus. While it's fundamentally the same, when you "Pontificate" each and every note, it's not. Since I'm going to Pontificate each and every... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Inna, since you're looking into all things Otari, could you tell me how easy it is, to change my 1/4 track Otari to a 2 track? | |
| Tubes from Russia block I don't know anything about tubes, nor do I want to know. Brent Jesse knows about tubes and I know Brent Jesse. People buying bad tubes on E-Bay is beginning to sound like a broken record. | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Inna, this is stuff dreams are made of, it's called EE tape. If a person had a reel with a EE seting , he could record at the slow speed of 3 3/4 and get 7 1/2 quality of sound. That doubled the playback time without reducing quality of sound. Thi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, on "Moon Alley", by Tom Harrell; this has the same feel as Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage", but with much better sonics and recording quality; I like it.The title of the tune "Moon Alley"; are we in an alley to the moon, is the alley jus... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, I gave your post on Tom Harrell a long review, I don't know what happened to it, but now I have to do it over again.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Pepper Adams Plays Mingus", this is really boss. As you would expect, you won't get anything radically different from the original Mingus, but you will get something much "deeper" into the original Mingus; I know that sounds incredible, maybe eve... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Correction: Demagnafication is after each recording session, which will be more than one reel. Here is something that can easily slip your mind; your recorded tapes must be a good distance away from the demagnetizing process, or those tapes will b... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It don't take much of Da Blues for me to git Da Blues, and when that happens I have to git back to jazz. By the way, I had a birthday in September, I am now two days older than black pepper; when you get my age you forget what you said two days ag... | |
| Jazz for aficionados First and foremost, this thread is titled "Jazz For Aficionados"; it don't say nothing about "Blues For Aficionados". I'm putting this trolley back on the right track. We'll begin with "Jazz Impressions of Eurasia", this man was far ahead of time,... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? Inna, remember this, before you record, make sure there are no "fluorescent lights" within 100 miles. Demagnetize the heads, buy rubber cleaner for pinch rollers, buy new pinch rollers for whatever machine if possible, head cleaner of course. Dema... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, Charenee Wade's offering the music of Gil Scott Heron, and Brian Jackson is a very sensitive work of art. When I consider the source of the comment that Gil Scott Herron sucks, that's a testament to the authenticity of this work.Gil Scott H... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Beside "Albert King", who is my favorite, I like da wolfman, "Howlin Wolf", and my favorite tune by him is "Howlin For My Darlin". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dkdtmQ9cxQRok, gals at the Juke Joint could really shake it up off "Killing Floor".... |
