| Jazz for aficionados Sorry for the typos: due=cue , baron=baton, musician vision=musical vision. How the hell does one disengage the spell checker on an IPad?BTW, you see Rok, we CAN agree; Barenboim picks great tempos :-) That is a great Bolero. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Just wanted to add a couple of thoughts to Learsfool's excellent comments about conductors; which I agree with. The nuances of the issue may be lost on those who don't have personal experience in this area. Lest anyone misunderstand, there ARE fin... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Clint505, apologies for the irrelevant silliness. Now, to answer your and Chris' question: personally (and cheapskate that I am) I would probably be willing to pay around $2000 for that table simply to experience the benefits of Lp centering; with... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Rpeluso, kindly explain how it is that my referring to that music as not particular serious is any more of a "transgression" (!!!!) than you referring to me as a "snob". "Putdown" ? C'mon man, lighten up. I don't know the person who posted that vi... | |

| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Re price: And this is for the TX-1000's LITTLE BROTHER which I believe sold for about $3000 vs around $7000 (don't quote me). Wow!http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nakamichi-Dragon-CT-Computing-Turntable-/221324038168?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3387... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Thanks, Chris; much better :-) | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable No sense of humor-ism. | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Told you the coffee hadn't kicked in. Sorry I wasn't clear. I was not referring to the quality of the sound (can't have high expectations of Youtube); I was expecting music a little more, well.... serious, to come out of such a serious looking mac... | |

| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable Thanks for the link, Chris. Maybe the coffee hasn't kicked in yet, but somehow, when the stylus hit the groove, that was not the music I expected to hear come out of an awesome machine like that. Even more awesome tonearm. | |
| Chuck Mangione - Feels so Good I just found that the link I provided does not work; sorry. Here it is again:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HwaI_byysr8 | |
| Jazz for aficionados You are always welcome to ask questions and I would be glad to answer if I can. It's a particularly busy time work wise right now, so my responses may be a bit slow. | |
