This really intrigues me, and if it's true that will last a lifetime, and I am in mid-term mandate, even 69 bucks aren't so much. I google a little but the price seems fixed at 69. Consider that I have to add the shipping cost, I could add it to some records's order at Acoustic Sound or someone's else.

Masqualero BAND A PART Ecm.

King Crimson ISLAND, stereo, UK Pink Rim label, no 'ear'...but Keith Tippet on piano

Damn! I even sought it on Google!! In Italy his name is "Mastro Lindo"!

It would be much appreciated, thanks. I am thinking about one of these http://store.acousticsounds.com/category.c...pment&id=87

I am not obsessive compulsive, I am a schizophrenic with multiple personality like an analyst explained to one of the other 'me' . If you think that it's a bargain to spare 300 bucks for a new stylus meantime your worned out stylus are ploughing your collections of BN...

Usually manufacturers indicate a medium life for a stylus, that IMHO may shift of 10% if you play well cleaned and new records or old damaged and dirty records. The point is that if you use a MM cartridge you can replace by yourself your stylus often and cheaper, if you have a MC one, you have to replace the whole thing, or the stylus by manufacturers. Very expensive. Usually Linn allows me a 33% discount when I give back my old cartdrige and I got a new one.

That's what I usually do, but it seems not enough. Obviously I hadn't the same care of records that you had since you bought them new directly from A. Lion. (little indulgent envy ) I have to buy them used and they come in every conditions.

Have you one preferred product? My concern is that, more often than one could think, specialized cleaning fluids leave some sort of deposit, that is the reason because with record cleaning fluid you have to rinse LP with demineralized water, after the fluid. Another problem could be that, usually the stylus is matched with cantilever with some sort of glue, maybe epossidic, so a cleaning fluid could damage the matching beteween stylus and cantilever.

Sad news Condolences to his family and friends.

Mr. Zimmermann evening.

I have the unconfortable sensation that my stylus acculates tons of dirt from old records. The prove is that the last time I changed the MC cartdridge all the records sounded much better and dead quiter. Now I am buying a record cleaning machine, and I have a dilemma in front of me: if I clean a record the dirty stylus will depose its sticky mud in the groove of a cleaned record. Should I clean the stylus before, but there are some really good products out there that don't leave some kind of deposit or should I opt for a radical solution and change the cartridge, that is only in middle age of manufactured suggested life?

I hope that after democracy GWB don't want to export lawyers.

In Old Europe there aren't US lawyers.

This really could improve your system. I am wondering why I didn't find it in Audiogon http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview...cotton_fioc.jpg

And what about the low-fi bricks around the light-switch plate in your house?

I didn't know he was Nazi. Neither do I. Don't hear nazi tendencies in his playing (same for Walter Gieseking)! I wouldn't recognize a nazi tendencies in playing of anybody, a part Ted Nugent. I don't think he was accused by the Allies after the war. That's happend instead with Furtwangler. Maybe Karajan was nazi, A. Rubinstein never shook his hand again after the War.

You should upgrade your old model with the new one. I did it and this really improved the upper frequencies, more air between instruments. And it's easier to find good tubes to replace, the old model had those Western GE triodes damn expensive to find.

Warmly agree! I am just listening Hutcherson's SAN FRANCISCO, a 1970? (not sure) session, no time to check now. A Liberty Stereo Pressing, SE was David Brand. Still after a decade of stereo the drums are not well recorded, IMHO, they are spread from left to right like it was played by a giant on a giant drums set. I understand it was the stereo style of rock recording of the times, but...we are talking about a quintet, not a multitracks mixing of a King Crimson album. Now I am on Ornette's TOMORROW IS THE QUESTION, stereo, Black and Gold Label, DG, DuNann was THE man of stereo recording ten years before! BTW, RVG's stereo Impulse! recordings are usually better the BN dates of the same time.

Add me to the DuNann fans.

Ahmad Jamal EXTENSIONS Argo mono. Everytime I listen to Jamal, I promise myself I have to get some more of his records.

I'm curious, WHAT is a catode tube?? Did you mean CATHODE RAY TUBE?? Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny? Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy. [laughs] Tommy DeVito: what do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What? Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything. Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it? Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong. Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how? Henry Hill: Jus... Tommy DeVito: What? Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny. Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny? Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what? Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny! Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy! Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Yes, I apology for my maccaroni english style. But you should watch at The Goodfather sagas some more times, Goodfellas or at least The Sopranos. You seems the only one here who didn't understand it.

Realism is not subjective, that's the reason because every tape for broadcasting has, or should have, standard color bars at its start, because you can measure the color, and tune up the broadcasting. To put it simple let's we say we have a scale from 0 to 1, black should be 0, white 1, if black is 0.2 it appears like dark grey, if is less then 0 we have a kind of unatural grey that seems a damaged LCD monitor. Definition depends of the number of pixels, or lines, if you prefer. In order to appreciate an HD monitor you need, like you said, an HD source. AFIK there are no channels that broadcast in HD, a part some experimental one. We would need a new HD software and HD players. As usual we are seeing the common 'war of formats', Sony HD is different from Panasonic HD, they are based on different algoritms of compression, (you have to compress every frame of a movie shooted on film), they are, at moment, incompatible. HD is probably going to cancel movie shooting on film. But, in order to show a movie in a theater you have to transfer your HD movie on film, because theaters haven't got HD projector. As you can see the thing are a bit mess at the moment. Frankly would you bet 4K on this? This discussion is very interesting but reminds me of this interchange: Sonia: Immorality is subjective Boris: Yes, but subjectivity is objective Sonia: Not in any rational scheme of perception Boris: Perception is irrational and implies imminence ... and by the way, how good is that 26 inch Sharp LCD? The Sharps are not so bad because they are manufactered outside US. Skeith! Long times! How are you? I'm good Porcy and you? I am fine, thanks.

I presume so, maybe the seller thinks that 'A Love Supreme' is an original Coltrane's painting.
