| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I saw him at the Vanguard in the mid 1970s. What a snore. Saw Miles at Carnegie in the same period. The two should not even be mentioned in the same paragraph. | |

| Changing the flavor of gear Driver, guilty as charged, I was never good in the kitchen, or listening room, and my wife says that I'm no good in...........well let's not go there for now. | |
| Changing the flavor of gear If you think that's sweet, you have to try tube gear. On second though, why don't you just stick with solid state. | |
| How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas Your question is technical, so please humor a rather techncal answer. The origial Pas volume pot had eight lugs. The additional two lugs go to the .1uf caps and are the loudness take off. If you do not require loudness, either of your six lugs ste... | |
| tonearm upgrade, how far up the food chain? To answer your last question, arms do not wear out with normal use with two notable exceptions. Arms without sealed bearings, when used in an environment with airborne pollutants, such as cigarette smoke and excessive dust can have problems. Secon... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ If Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern qualify, you might try this Wilson outing:http://www.discogs.com/Cassandra-Wilson-Songbook/release/1770375It's pretty great. | |
| Seeking high quality lightweight head shells Here you go. I have no relationship with the seller and cannot speak for the transaction:http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgcart&1270966704&/Orsonic-AV1B-HeadshellGood luck. | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Long ago, Wilson recorded for JMT in Japan, direct to two track tape. The records are available on CD and there is even a sampler. The sound is direct and stripped down and very, very good. The singing is straight ahead mostly standards. The LPs o... | |
| Seeking high quality lightweight head shells After lots of trial and error, and many brands, I settled on the Orsonic AV-1 as my light headshell. I have two now, one black and one silver. Unfortunately, they have not been made in many moons and the only source would be e-bay. Good luck with ... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Diana Krall the gateway drug to Ella. Hmmmm....very interesting concept there. Since I have flogged pretty much all of the jazz lite vocalists, except for Norah, I will throw in a contemporary singer that I really like and take my lumps. Cassandra... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Isn't it time we talk about Cole and Krall as well? Now that we have the cockroaces scurrying from the light, we might as well start bleeding these other two sacred cows whose time has passed, to mix metaphors. While avoiding the pretentious postu... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ It's true, I have no taste at all; I never claimed to. Sorry that I hurt your feelings Rnm4, but it's all just personal taste. Then again, little boys who indulge in ad hominem arguments don't get out much. If you don't like the message, always be... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Patricia Barber, just execrable. It really doesn't get much worst than this. She makes Michael Bolton seem like Placido Domingo. | |
| Precision Fidelity C7/A Revised: Denon DL103R I believe that I sold that preamp to you. Among others, I used it with a Denon 103D and a 103, both with the Denon AU-320 transformer with 10X gain. That brings the output of the cartridge up to around 2.5mv. I had no problems with either of these... |
