| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. Elizabeth, a decade in music is fuzzy; one of my favorite "jams" is "Senior Blues" which was on "Six pieces of Silver", by Horace Silver, recorded in 1956.This decade also included "West coast jazz", it came and it went. While I recall some of the... | |
| Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive. When you say someone is an "Audiophile", that conveys a certain type of person. In that decade, when you said "Jazz", you conveyed a certain type of music. Today, when you say "Jazz", that conveys a range of music so broad that it is not definitiv... | |
| Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight I listened to "Round About Midnight" by Wes Montgomery and the Montgomery Brothers on vinyl and I can't decide which one I like best. | |
| How do you know when the crossover needs changing? That crossover needs changing along with the oxidized wire in the speaker. Parts express has crossovers and wire, plus they give good advice. When I said crossover I meant capacitors and wire for sure. | |

| 10 Commandments of a Vinyl Audiophile I remember when they dyed the red sea red, and I went to the funereal when the dead sea died. I have been around awhile, consequently I have a lot of vinyl. Never get distracted when you are giving a $35.00 LP a bath. | |

| Advice on going from mid level to high end That VPI Scoutmaster certainly needs no upgrade. Since garbage in equals garbage out, I would start with a new CD player, and work my way down the chain. | |

| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I am going to jump into this "tower of babel" with all four feet and state my qualifications for doing so.Before I became an Audiophile, I was an electronics technician who knew all the electronics formulas. "If you can not measure it, you can not... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states There is a scientific explanation as to why Class-A amps sound better than Class-B,but there is no scientific explanation as to why tube sounds as loud as solid state when the tube is less powerful. | |
| Jazz Recommendations "Something Else", led by Cannonball Adderly with Miles Davis, Sam Jones, Hank Jones and Art Blakey; is the greatest jazz album of all time. Bird With Strings would come in number 2. | |
| Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight In my opinion, Grant Green is the most consistant of all jazz artists. I could listen to him all night. | |
| Oxidation, how to prevent? WD 40 everything after deoxidizing. | |
| Thanks to Audiogon and friends Knownothing, I agree with everything you said, and I know a lot. I would like to add that you can go to Vampire Wire, or Belden and buy high quality interconnect wire in bulk and build your interconnects to whatever lenth you desire. Of course you... |
