No, not at all. He didn't. I just read some of the stuff he wrote. Here and elsewhere. I stand by what I said above.

Just to make a point (no offense intended): Does that mean you wouldn't mind if a guest at your place urinates into your living room? I mean, you don't have to go in there. It's your own personal choice. This board is a group effort. I like this board because it doesn't have the usual dunces frequenting other boards. I don't care how much the guy knows about jazz. He doesn't have any manners, and just because he tries to hide that fact behind a weird sense of humour doesn't help a bit. It's your typical playground bully, and that's it. But, yes, I'll try to avoid his threads. The problem is that he has to spread his shite all over the place. Which makes it difficult for other members to stay clear. Kick him out.

I have no idea who this wingy dingy character is, but from all the yelling he's been doing around here, he seems to be suffering from a serious case of attention deficit disorder. Just don't let him have any. And Wingy, ... ... STOP YELLING ALREADY! Jeez. [edit]Oops. I just read on the other board that this wingy dingy thing is a drummer. I take back what I just wrote above and I'll try to rephrase it. Err, hm, err, ... SIT! STOP![/edit]

Cardboard box? Huh? I bought them separately, four/five weeks ago. Cost me ten bucks, altogether. Screw the box. The music keeps the two jewel cases together nicely, thank you. Damn, the stuff is good. I think I can save lots on the heating bill this winter if I keep the CDs in constant rotation. Cheers!

Piano (bass/drums) trios.

I'm wondering if anyone has any of the following CDs released by the Danish label "Storyville" (fascinating label history, by the way). What is the sound quality like (the remastering)? Any other comments? Art Tatum Live Vol. 5, 1951 Art Tatum Live Vol. 4, 1949-51 Art Tatum Live Vol. 3, 1945-49 Art Tatum Live Vol. 2, 1944-45 Art Tatum Live Vol. 1, 1934-1944 Cheers!

Man, what a find! I think it would be difficult to top that one. I'm insanely jealous. Cheers.

I've rooted around in my collection and the only ZYX remasters I could come up with are the digipack Montreux ones ... I have all of them, I think. I'll listen to them tomorrow (yes, I know, I shouldn't buy stuff all the time and then put it on the shelf without listening to it), but any opinions on these? I did have the whole series once (years ago ... not ZYX, I believe), but I gave it to my dad.

Costs of the cover paintings etc.

"Honda Gives More Head"

Hey, THAT's the important part! ubu Gotcha. Just quoted wrong.

My Marantz Amp I'm really satisfied with, but I remember that when I bought it 2 or 3 years ago, the reviews stated that the phono input sucked. So, does the purchase of a phono preamp remedy that situation? Any decent ones at a decent price? Does anyone actually have the PM 78 and has attached a preamp?

Phew. Thanx.

Thanx for the link. Have started reading.

I thought I'd opt for the Project debut. I just can't afford the Thorens 160 at the moment. Good second-hand ones go for an arm and a leg, it seems. Anyone have the Project one? Comments?

Does this also apply to things like the Bill Evans "Last Walz", "Complete Fantasy Recordings" etc. boxes, the Art Pepper "Complete Galaxy Recordings", and so on and so forth? I bought a whole bunch of these (also Art Tatum etc.) sets from 2001 (Zweitausendeins) in Germany. I bought so much stuff these past 12 months or so that I haven't really been able to listen to more than 10% of it all.

One damn fine turntable. I had one of those before the moving people trashed it. Why do you want to replace it? You'd have to invest quite a bit to improve on it, imho.

Hi everyone, I'd be interested in finding out what equipment y'all use. Here's mine: - Marantz PM 78 Class-A amp - Marantz CD 67 MKII SE (OSE) - Marantz SE 46 Tuner - Dynaudio Contour 1.8 mkII speakers - Kimber 4PR speaker cables - Cardas Crosslink cables - Sennheiser HD 590 headphones [in the works: Project Debut turntable] Besides for the Cardas cables, I got a positively huge discount on the whole setup (the shop owner wanted to make space for new stuff) and I am quite satisfied. Especially the Cardas cables were a huge (!) improvement in terms of sound. I also have an NAD C521 CD player and several pairs of Sennheiser 545, all of which are currently connected to my electronic drum kit. I do hook up the NAD player to my stereo once in a while ... it does seem to provide a more analytical reproduction of my CDs. Cheers.

Hi everyone, on and off I've been reading that the German ZYX CDs are supposed to be pretty bad in terms of mastering etc. I've been reading around a bit and couldn't find any more about it other than, well, that the CDs are often crappola. Anyone care to elaborate? Thanx.

Look what I bought for 199,- Euro!!!!! dumdidum (All good things come to those who wait....)

Thanx, guys! Cheers!

Thanx guys! I'll have a look. Cheers!

Hi everyone, over on the vdrums.com forums someone recommended the Tete Montoliu Trio. Now, I recall seeing him in Denmark in the 70's and have since lost sight of him. Quite a bit of his stuff is available through Amazon, but I'm looking for 70's recordings featuring his trio of that time. Does anyone have any info on some more obscure CD (re-)releases not commonly found on Amazon etc.? Any info welcome. Cheers!
