  1. Welcome back Porcy. Yeah, I'm aware of some of those options. Superline sounds special though - and the synergy with the rest of the Naim kit is an extra incentive. Would love to hear this thing powered by Supercap instead of Hi-Cap too. From what I gather, it's a significant improvement on the Linto.
  2. That's pretty radical - they'll be opening up in Butte, Montana next ! Is this for the Avant-Garde Survivalist market?
  3. Are Mosaic trying to bankrupt us or something? Answer - yes. Credit crunch - eat yer heart out.. Time to splurge on the Bix and maybe Lou.. Thankfully - its also back to £1 = $2, just to ease the pain a bit.
  4. Gordon Beck Quartet 'Experiments With Pops' (Major Minor, stereo). Fabulous sounding LP ! Gordon Beck 'Gyroscope' (Morgan, stereo)
  5. Gene McCarthy - "Clean for Gene" Tricky Dick Nixon Tom DeLay TomatBlueNote Dr George Butler Michael Cuscuna
  6. Woody Shaw 'Blackstone Legacy' (Contemporary white label 2LP stereo)
  7. Cynthia Paine Madam Whiplash Spanky deBrest
  8. Yeah - the money was definitely there in advertising around that time. Check out that 'Mad Men' TV show. And around this time didn't Yardley (I think it was them) use Herbie's 'Maiden Voyage' as an advert backing track? Rare lapse from bad taste. :rsmile:

  10. Have a good one ! :party:
  11. Happy Birthday ! :party:
  12. Seems to work OK for me. Sounds like piccolos !
  13. Nothing like it to get that authentic, grainy sound.
  14. Did you find any lost Mosaic sets in your expedition back there?
  15. Holy ****
  16. Pablo mini-Fest: Zoot Sims - 'Zoot Sims: Sopraono Sax' Zoot Sims/Bill Holman 'Hawthorne Nights' to be followed by Dizzy Gillespie 'Bahiana' (2LP)
  17. 'Zoot Sims And The Gershwin Brothers' is a standout of a very fine run of Zoot Pablo albums. They got great reviews at the time of release and have withstood the test of time. 'Zoot Plays Soprano' and 'Hawthorne Nights' (arrangements by Bil Holman) are two other good ones. Another good one on Pablo Live is JJ Johnson 'Yokohama Concert' - with Nat Adderley in the front line. One of my favourites on Pablo.
  18. Totally agree ! Very fine 2LP set, will dig it out.
  19. Nicole Kidman Tom Cruise Mr Thetan
  20. Strictly the wrong thread I guess but - Thad & Mel Mosaic Solid State Mosaic, LP6
  21. Michel Grover Mitchell Billy Mitchell
  22. Just demo-ing the new Naim Superline phono stage and it's fantastic. Anyone with a Naim pre-amp, an MC cartridge and a deck such as LP12 with decent arm should seriously consider this one. Knocks the Stageline for six, great little product that the Stageline is. Unlike Prefix you don't need to fiddle about with installing it inside the deck. It's quite a big unit which can sit next to the deck and connects to it via BNC plugs. Power supply options include Hi-Cap (I'm using this) and Supercap (reputedly astonishing). You need to adjust the loading via use of resistive and capacitive plugs. At the moment I'm using a 'stock' resistive plug which isn't optimally matched for my Dynavector cartridge and the results are still great. A winner from the boys in Salisbury !
  23. Woody Herman Select, CDs 1 and 2. Fantastic, one of my favourite Selects. Thad & Mel Complete Solid State - LP 4
  24. You mean the ones who've just logged on after consuming 10 pints? Great list of stuff, by the way !
