Well, personally I have answered that question on my set-up. So wasn't going to ask a rhetorical question.

And he eludes to summing the channels with the pun. There are 3 ways to sum channels, which is really the bottom line.

true! so maybe i just get some Y cables or the mono box i was eyeing from someone over at hoffman :)

thanks for reaching out to him!
 
Jbraswell said:
Yeah, he seems like really good guy.

I think you'll notice some improvement with the cables, especially with older mono.
My OCD got to me and I didn't want any additional links in the chain so the G happened.

That’s why I haven’t done the mono switch! But I have the Ultradeck and a Thorens and neither has a swappable headshell so haven’t gone the mono cart route. I do have quite a few old mono pressings that I’d love to tear a mono cart out with someday so if I ever swap tables I’d get one with a swappable headshell

Sounds like you need a Technics, Pioneer, or ReLoop direct drive. ;)

This Technics 1500 in black looks so slick.

Translation:

Postings on the Steve Hoffman Forum have been brought to our attention (we don't pay attention to that shit ourselves). Most customers have no problems, but the morons on SHTV apparently do, because they are too stupid to set up their turntables properly and think vinyl is like CD.
We don't master for idiots. Please stop sending perfectly good copies back to Amazon endlessly. It's you, not the vinyl.
In the future, we recommend compact discs, and if that proves too challenging just do streaming.

And a different remaster from the one they did for VMP. Stanley Turrentine "Mr Natural" and Chet Baker "Sings and Plays" are other two TP for 2023.

These two are the first and to be released in February Andrew Hill "Dance With Death" and Carmell Jones "The Remarkable Carmel Jones".

It makes 5 releases so far.

And now 6 with Gil Evans - Great Jazz Standards

So true! They did a shirt for Andrew Hill's Judgment! this year that looked pretty cool. I was tempted when I saw it, but couldn't bring myself to buy it because not only do I not own a copy, but I'd never even heard the album.

My daughter got me that shirt and a copy of Smoke Stack for Christmas!

I’ll give this album one more chance to add to the too many chances I’ve already given it. I mean it’s a good album, but John has so many great albums. I’ll take Giant Steps over this album anyday.

I mean, I agree but Blue Train holds a special place in my heart, it pretty much single handedly made me like the saxophone. Before I got into this record in college, I thought the sax was a squeaky version of nails on a chalkboard.
