I know there's RSD jazz fatigue (really, jazz fatigue generally), but in addition to Pharaoh being essential, Nathan Davis - Happy Girl is incredibly rare/expensive and really good -- so, essential for me. Features Woody Shaw and Larry Young (on piano, not organ) and what I think was the first...

I would use medium, but i haven’t had any over-cook problems. However, if I was worried about it even slightly, I’d start low and short and work my way up time and temp until it goes how you want. You’ll never be worse off by under cooking.

As per my comment above, if you’re not gonna spring for pi, medium with pillow on top is my friend. Pillow reduces uneven heat dissipation and keeps warmer than regular medium, and overall still much less likely to F something up due to high heat.

Really nice!! If you don’t already know, Summertime on that Jones/Davis record is straight fire, rivaled only by — possibly — the version on Shelly Manne & Men Vol. 1, which gave me a completely new understanding of Shelly Manne as a drummer. Really, I just love that song as a deconstructed...

I actually don’t think of him as controversial from a mastering (or whatever) perspective. I thought his rep is bc he’s kind of an arrogant douche (on his own forum, at least) and the forum itself can be insane (but has also been a good resource to me when looking for specific...

lol - I kid, I kid. I have the DCC Guaraldi/Black Orpheus and The Cars he mastered and enjoy them both.

This is now a SH forum. Will the last one out, please turn off the lights.

Everything is available from the highest res/whatever format down. So something available in native DSD is also available in other formats for less $, and if you buy the highest, the purchase includes all the formats below.

Feickert great for precisely lining up spindle/pivot and even better if you need to measure precise spindle-to-pivot distance, which I needed to do on my current setup. I bought Feickert used so more manageable price wise. There are also Chinese knockoffs on eBay that seem visually identical for...

I didn’t know any of that one way or another. I bought it for the novelty at a pretty good price (although more than $40). I sold the few other MMJs I owned bc I prefer 70s RVGs. The exceptions are harder to come by in that form — Parlan/Headin’ South; Drew-Undercurrent; and Brooks - Back to...

I have 6 MMJs. The noisiest one - in fact the only one with any noise - is a tp of Somethin’ Else.

I don’t have this album so can’t comment specifically, but, if a decent chunk of people have a bunch of BNC/TPs that play with no problems, and along comes one that causes notable portion of them problems, then something is going on that’s materially different, independent of setup.

If the record pi existed when i bought vinyl flat, I’d had have gone w record pi for reasons stated. But only for convenience, not bc of performance. The vinyl flat has been fantastic for me except in a couple isolated instances where the type of warp itself was the reason it didn’t solve the...

I’m focused on finding deals on stuff (new and vintage stuff) that I think that, at worst, I could resell at no loss or something reasonable even if the market falls further than it has, which I think it will. Not bc I think the market will tank but bc it was unnaturally high post covid and...

Sales: “Hey marketing team, we’re starting a jazz subscription service and are wondering if you have any great ideas to make jazz people seem more insufferable than many folks already think they are. Any ideas?!?!” Marketing: “Haha. Next time give us a real challenge. Just call it a “bespoke”...

Broonzy lasted online for months but now is only available at a premium. I agree w others, Sun Ra will sell much faster and, while 100 Euros (or more) for a record is sky high, the precedent is set that these Artisan series releases eventually increase in value, so that will bring out buyers who...

where did you see this? I follow on instagram but it's not there. Looks like it should be amazing

I don't understand the cynicism about this meal service. It's clearly a way to motivate members who want to leverage and diversify use of the sleeve-opening knife as a meal utensil.

Which model has black front in that ad? I didn't know Sutherland made anything not silver. And my system is committed to the uniform, all-black look so I've never looked at Sutherland.

The Conversation is in masterpiece territory. I’d seen it, but they made new 35mm prints a year or two ago and it was shown at a local theater. The scenes above Union Square were particularly good to see on big screen. Also, if you don’t already know backstory of Francis Ford Coppola’s...
