| "Original Jazz Classics" Milestone re-released Waltz For Debby and Sunday At The Village Vangard, which is from the same sessions, as a two LP set, with a couple of added tracks in the twofer series called The Village Vangard Sessions, and the sonics are quite good, as we... | |
| is there a stereo blue book for value of old gear You can also subscribe to the Audiogon blue book. Not affiliated with Audiogon..... totally ignorant.... not responsible when it doesn't work, etc...... | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" Fair enough. The first thing to say is that most of the Riverside/Prestige recordings are very good as concerns frequency balance and clarity. The stereo recordings are not very good as concerns image, with insturments typically panned hard left a... | |
| "Original Jazz Classics" It's quite sad that you intend to avoid great art because the frame that it is presented in is not to your liking. | |
| Add a Warranty section to Audiogon classified ads? Tvad, this is a really interesting subject. I believe that there is already an implied warranty in acceptance of the use of this site. That is that the product must conform to the description in the ad upon being delivered to the buyer. If you sea... | |
| Your favorite classical/flamengo guitar CDs Why Sabicas (Augustin Campos), of course. | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand Can we go back to this playing against type thing? Willie Nelson does a horrible reggae record, "Highwayman", Van Morrison does a country album, "Pay The Devil", Paul Simon writes a stage play, Roger Waters composes derivative symphonic music, Yo-... | |

| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. Bill, Audiofeil, e-mailed me off board and told me to get a lava light......and, by implication, a life. | |
| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. And if they are a bit more microphonic, as Raquel so correctly points out, or if the sound of ambulance sirens approaching my house breaks the spell of the music from time to time, I can have more children and if the cat gets too close, the pound ... | |
| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. The phallic splendor. The blue stray electrons breaking free of their appointed paths. The red hot filaments beconing with their oh so subtle light, in a darkened room. The myriad reflections of light on glass and chrome. Who the hell knows? I pai... | |
| Miles Davis - CD, Lp, pressings comparisons Oh yes, Bitches Brew, I have both the standard and Quad LP pressings and the Quad has pretty much more of everything. | |
| Miles Davis - CD, Lp, pressings comparisons Interesting stuff. I have Cookin' and Steamin' on a Fantasty twofer and just love it. Fat and juicy, more metal in the horn that most recordings of this deliver, as the Harmon mute tends to deephasize this characteristic. My King Japanese pressing... |
