| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital You should give an original Columbia 6-eye a try. It was not made with 65 year old tapes, but the first side will be slightly sharp. Worth a listen. It may ring your bell, or not. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital OK let's talk about recordings then. IMHO the off speed recording of KOB is integral to the experience of those who originally bought the album when it came out. Mastering, recording and pressing being essential parts of the experience. It may be... | |

The birds nest adhesive is typical of Orbray (formerly Namiki) mounts on boron stylii. https://orbray.com/en/product/jewel/product/onlineshop_rec... | |
| Refurbished / Re-tipped Cartridges - Are they worth Buying? I think a distinction must be drawn between retipping by sawing off the cantilever and glueing a new cantilever/stylus to the stub, and retipping by leaving the original cantilever intact and replacing only the diamond stylus. In the former, the m... | |
