 Just to echo this recommendation

Also Loud Jazz and Still Warm from this era of Scofield.

Loud Jazz is probably a better description than Fusion, but we could say Jazz Rock too.

Better is subjective as is the experience of playing vinyl. Possibly in the same way as a screw cap vs corked wine. There is a degree of ritual and respect with vinyl which some people just prefer. The imperfections are all part of the process.

Yup. Have Both. My TT is old - replace cartridges (getting pricey for old school Denons sadly) once in a while. Have tried a more modern/better cartridge once.

CD more recent. Purchased when  £350/400 ones started to sound ok.

Old Audiolab / Creek amps and Musical Fidelity speakers.

Still sounds sufficiently like music

How a recording is made is important because it will to some extent dictate how obvious (or not) all these extraneous sounds are. 

 

I don't think that the more expensive and esoteric HiFi does simply reproduce the audio signal as accurately as possible. If it did there would be no place for vinyl since it places a load of compromises upon the recorded audio simply to work as a delivery medium. Also a HiFi would have no controls other than volume and there would only be a single make of each component available because once each device has been made to affect the signal as little as possible there would be no need for any others.

 

However what HiFi really does is to colour the audio signal in a way that each manufacturer considers to be pleasing while denying the fact that there is any colouration going on. 

Plus a lot of people with confirmation bias. It's more expensive, it sounds different and therefore it must sound "better"

We used to have a keep called Allen McKnight. His nickname was "McKnightmare" for obvious reason. He was dire.

Liverpudlians had "Calamity" James.

Muddling Along.

The trace 18" cab from you on a little floor 2.5 foot tall isolator platform that I knocked up (neighbours). My home practice favourite with my CTM30.

The Audere preamp is going great guns in a now nicely tidied up KSD J605 left handed. Does a really nice jazz thing with black tapewounds. Suspect one of the pick-ups is a bit fritzed so may hunt out some substitutes.

When I win the lottery tomorrow I'll be after some Trace valvey stuff better get a ticket.

Doubtless this thread'zll be locked shortly have a good evng Mike

HI Sunfish,

Apologies for late reply . Circa 8 pounds.

However, I've decided it would be a mistake to sell it, so have withdrawn .

Yup. I guess it's a try and find another like it sort of instrument.

Hope you're well Mike ?

The Wargasm one from about a year ago where Ms Way starts with a cheerleader routine (the backing dancer on lefts poker face towards the end is priceless). Then the bit with the drongo male vocalist kicks in and you give up . I'll append the name of this masterpiece when I get round to it.

To be fair Ms Way does essay a bit of bass plus a "wardrobe malfunction" in their latest award stage appearance while the bloke does "dark" vocals

Backyard Bast**ds. FWIW can't post the link. Some of the more recent stuff sorta ok but the whole band/enterprise seems atad cynical.
