    What Music are You Listening To? August, '23

    Great Buster Keaton film, I wonder what the cinema piano man played in those early silent screenings. Maybe some fast ragtime, with clinks and clonks here and there. Pink floyd is somehow to epic for those quickly moving legs in my ears.

    Vinyl Set Up

    My actual Hi-Fi setting in sleeping position. I move the open baffle-speakers a little bit into the room and closer to the cabinet, while listening.

    Vinyl Set Up

    Yes I also am listening to digital sources, of course. I bought a Cambridge CD with a wolfson DAC, cut off the op-amp section and led the analog signal through a homemade single ended tube pre amp section, a construction kit I bought from “lampizator” Lukasz Ficus a polish guy, that has grown...

    Vinyl Set Up

    I once talked to a guy, who was a sound engineer at EMI Electrola Germany in the late 60 up to the 80s. He is still in the business, and does direct metal mastering blanks on one of the few left Neumann machines to cut a copper blank. So he gets digital recorded master tapes from artists that...

    Ever heard of violinist Billy Contreras? Okay this is more on the Bluegrass side than jazz, but really rocks my soul.

    Art Blakey and his Jazz Messengers was the first jazz gig of a “real” jazz band I ever listened to in a smaller club in cologne in 1983 or 84 Great experience, Blakey was energetic explosive and singing his rhythms all over the place. Freddie Hubbard was also in that band. Hadn’t any clue about...

    Vulcanite Composition

    You can’t get around the decomposition of vulcanite it’s imprinted in the chemistry of ebonite. There is no secret sauce to stop the process. In former times they hadn’t a magic to stop it as well. I think ebonite produced by e.g. SEM is as good as you can get it. Just keep the pipe away from...
