Yes, East/West is tremendous.

Unfortunately, Paul is no longer with us

We can only hope that’s the case.

I’m not sure about his opinion being valid. I’m not a big fan of many of his reviews.

The reviewer is not a fan, suffice to say. Review: “Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool” and the Problem of the Archive I made this a separate thread so as not to detract from CJ Shearn’s thread. However, if the moderators feel otherwise, please move to CJ’s thread.

You’re better off. It can’t be trusted.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't participate anymore.

Although I just punished a new cartridge, I’m not sure I see the need to replace the CDs in that I have, which are mostly Japanese anyway. I think the Henderson I have is from the late 80s or 90s so that might be a possibility.

They are down to five different sets in stock, a far cry from their heyday when you’d receive their magazine and see all the sets available to purchase, making your mouth water for this or that set. I just looked at the January 2008 magazine and not counting Selects there were over 25 sets discussed. Well, those days are gone and we should be happy they’re still in business.

"The Grabtown Grapple” (1945) Artie Shaw and His Gramercy Five About Artie Shaw's relationship with Ava Gardner, beauty personified (in my opinion).

Meeting: the bane of corporate life. The only thing produced by meetings is how to waste time.

It’s a brutal sport. Perhaps that will be its downfall eventually.

He had and has an offensive line.

For non-jazz

I have floor standing Vandersteens and am very happy with them.

Having good speakers also applies to playing CDs too. I purchased a very good system in 2001 (Lon gave me advice on what to purchase) from a stereo store in Summit, NJ. I also purchased a good but entry level turntable because the owner wasn't sure I'd use it a lot. He was right, I didn't. I've used the turntable sporadically. I went back there today because I hadn't changed the cartridge since I bought it and decided I wanted to play more vinyl. He told me to bring it in and he'd change it since it's a bit tricky. I guess the point is that the buying experience you have can make all the difference.

The term “industry” is all encompassing and broad. I don’t claim to know the answer but isn’t it small companies making the records. I don’t believe the majors are making vinyl in a significant manner.
