  1. I’ve sold a fair number of used records at Audiokarma, they have a feedback area where everyone can comment on the transaction, which I think really helps. I also offered to accept returns and had only one out of 60-70 transactions. I would not be comfortable buying online personally but I’ve got more than enough music to keep me occupied. Fortunately I’ve got a really good used shop in Providence, Round Again Records, that won’t put out records in bad shape.

  2. In the previous thread noted I mentioned Glen Wilson’s   Trombari, The Devil’s Hopyard. There’s a review here:

    Another favorite with strings is Alan Ferber’s Nonet with Strings, Chamber Songs.

    I think both of these releases are really high quality and deserving of a wider audience.

     

  3. Yes Steve, you are correct (just grabbed the LP from the stacks). The notes refer specifically to Byas cutting everyone on The Romp, I’d say he does it again on Honeysuckle Rose which does include a pretty young Dexter from 1945.

  4. Jazz Archives 35, Ben and the Boys, has a track with Ben, Dexter Gordon at his most Prezish, and Byas. As the liner notes state, Byas cuts everyone. The fidelity is a bit rough but defined worth searching out.

    I’ve cycled through a fair number of older-ish speakers, the pair I probably miss the most are Altec Model 14’s. I also kind of miss a Sansui AU 517. The only piece above purchased new is the turntable. I do love a used deal.
