With his great ability to reproduce music in space and shining exposure of mids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some words by Shinobu Karaki (Vida's builder) about devices used in this phono amplifier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"VIDA is using JFET transistor input, bi-polar transistor output, those are NEC and Toshiba made in period from 1970 to 1990. This era was transistor golden age, like vacuum tube in 1950-1960. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Audio specific low noise, very good linearity and high gain amplification transistors were developed. After 2000, there were no good transistors , because all electronics were changed to digital, and all LSI. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Currently just few transistors are manufacturing for digital switching application, of course those are not good for analog audio."</span><br />

I'm using for some years this brush with my Okki Nokki. It 's a very interesting product. Cleaning my vinyl is really very good and certainly it outperforms the performance of original brush of my Okki Nokki machine.<br />
If you have a Okki Nokki, Vpi or Clearaudio record cleaning machine I recommend you to try this brush.<br />
I bought Osage brush directly from website of manufacturer (<a href="http://www.osageaudio.com/select.htm" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<b>Recommended !!

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recently discovered this work of Leo Kottke. I thought his records were only instrumental
but this also sings and he does in great way. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have in my collection his instrumental masterpiece '</span><b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">6 & 12 String Guitar</b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">' that reminds certain works of John Fahey.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But here Kottke combines his music in fresh and original way with traditional elements like folk and blues
creating a very personal music and little abstract but also 'very American'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Thanks also to the production of T Bone Burnett he alternates beautiful instrumental like 'Theme from The Rick and Bob Report' and 'William Powell' with ballads
sung with his deep voice and persuasive as 'Fix My Car', 'Everybody lies' and 'Jack gets up' latter very special. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An adorable work that forces me to the discovery of his other records like
'<b>Greenhouse</b>', '<b>My feet are smiling</b>' and also '<b>Ice water</b>'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sound of this record is Excellent...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Good Listening !!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First impressions after somedays of listening At33Sa. The sonic characteristics of PTG are maintained but SA increases the efficiency of the low frequencies that are more controlled, less slow and more articulate than the PTG (I'm very fascinated about this). I am surprised by improvement in the mid-high frequencies that in PTG are 'magical'. On At33Sa there is more definition !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A great quality that I'm noticing is that at33sa is very quiet and this allows better microcontrast and microdetails.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
Up to 1000 Euro and really hard to do better !!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I believe this is the best recording of soprano saxophone that Evan Parker has ever done. Genial and uncompromising experimenter, i think that Parker has not yet found an heir to this work and its performance today is not more upsetting as during periods of release of this disc. The first time i listened this record first word that i thought was WOW. Pure improvisation in shocking immediacy !! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was recorded (in 1978) directly to disk using the direct-cut technique. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact, the quality of recording is very good and you can listen to every smallest resonance that is emitted by the Parker instrument in the recording room.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you like this 'kind of music' try to listen with headphones in the evening you will not regret.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Truly Amazing !</b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a Great Disc. From krautrock era Holger Czukay pulls out (we are in 1981) this incredible album that will be of great inspiration for much artists.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm looking (on vinyl) at the first disc 'CANAXIS' out of the CAN which I consider a masterpiece, but I must admit that this 'On The Way to the Peak of Normal' is a nice feel ...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It also recorded pretty good!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdNhmG4cf3CIUQ76ulODgS0EJlvTaPGzmfTdnNS87eoTH4YQKatvF8N5rp9fqxmNxtc6rMDwXo4W7ENxzr5BMJbN8Z5MdNfwReMwgCtxMzL9CLum5KUyDhAHiqOYhpksmeyraXfswZYr0/s1600/hczukay_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLdNhmG4cf3CIUQ76ulODgS0EJlvTaPGzmfTdnNS87eoTH4YQKatvF8N5rp9fqxmNxtc6rMDwXo4W7ENxzr5BMJbN8Z5MdNfwReMwgCtxMzL9CLum5KUyDhAHiqOYhpksmeyraXfswZYr0/s1600/hczukay_1.jpg" height="190" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From inner details of Holger...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">"Recording tape has been widely used with the emphasis on achieving maximun high fidelity. However, its special character lies more in the artificial possibilities it offers. Just as film footage is invariably modified or adapted in some way before it reaches the screen so the tapes of this album were extensively treated - a process involving thousands of edits and much enriched copying. Both the uniqueness of any studio (its sound, precise physical dimensions, etc.) and the development of such electronic components as recording machines and sound systems mean that a musician can organize his wrk in specifically indivydual ways. Just as printer works with his brushes and colori, so the music here is 'painted' onto the tapes -rather than merely 'produced' in the old sense of the term.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Side1: 'Ode to Perfume'</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The vibrato guitar at the beginning contains the 'origin' code of the whole piece. Though i played it as conventionally as i possibly could, the music only gradually reveals its true nature - i tend to visualize its progress as being like a trick-film journey into the elaborate weavings of a Persian carpet. The stations along the way are:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1 A welcome</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2 Chorale of the Majestic</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3 Ballad</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4 The Males are marching</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5 Out of the Fogbank</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6 Into</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7 The Final Chorale of the Majestic</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">8 Fragrance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Racommended listening whilst rollerskating, driving or flying</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Side2: 'On the Way to the Peak of Normal'</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was composed out of a spontaneous session involving the musicians of S.Y.P.H and two radios. The ensuing hypnotic atmosphere was spliced into splinters of musical moments, then reassembled - not always in the same sequence. Thus one hour of musica is compressed into 7 1/2 minutes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Witches Multiplication Tale' This contains Les Vampyrettes instructions on how to get rich.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Two Bass Shuffle' A piece that dates from 1976, when i remembered the first artificial guitar recording of Les Paul and Mary Ford in the 1950s.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">'Hiss 'N' Listen' As a boy, i dreamt of getting married and leading a normal family life on a space station full of communication receivers, banked TV screens, and all Kinds of technology.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">"Musically, Van Zandt was the place where country, blues, folk and gospel hung out together. While some songs, like 'Two Hands' and 'When He Offers His Hand' on </span><em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">High, Low And In Between</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">are straight-ahead gospel, his most memorable tracks are the ones which defy any specific classification. 'You Are Not Needed Now' and 'To Live Is to Fly', from </span><em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">High, Low and in Between</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> and 'Sad Cinderella' and 'Don’t Let The Sunshine Fool You', from </span><em style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Last Great Townes</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"> resonate with a sound and a quality distinct to Van Zandt."</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Other Lp that require attention are:</span><br />
- The Late Great Townes Van Zandt (1972) Poppy PP-LA004-F<br />
- Live At The Old Quarter (1977) Tomato TOM-2-7001M.Agrimihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05331140465257484338noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696235819301278466.post-18465488536354039682013-11-11T02:39:00.000-08:002013-11-11T03:57:49.134-08:00Another great work by Don Cherry<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have to admit Don Cherry is my favorite artist at the time. I found this Lp some weeks ago in a 'street market' of my city for few money. When i inserted this on my turntable i said... WOW !! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In this work (ECM 1230) with Ed Blackwell on drums DC continues the exploration outside the borders of jazz. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Avant-garde here </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">is obvious. DC uses simple melodies that blend perfectly with the drums of EB which gives the work a very special soul.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">... and then we have a superb recording !!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I highly recommend this beautiful disc</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Don Cherry - Eternal Now 1974 (Sonet SNTF 653)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mi sono avvicinato a Don Cherry grazie ai bellissimi lavori per la ECM sotto la sigla Codona, insieme a Collin Walcott e Nana Vasconcelos. </span><a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cherry" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Cherry</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In questo periodo sto dando maggior attenzione ai lavori solisti di Cherry ed in particolare alle incisioni per la Sonet. Questo disco, insieme a 'Brown Rice ' (1975), fa parte di un periodo in cui l'artista 'contamina' il suo jazz con ingredienti Free-Impro ed al quale inserisce anche elementi di musica World, con l'utilizzo di molte componenti percussive. Al disco collaborano musicisti di talento svedesi come Bernt Rosengren, Agneta Arnstrom e Bengt Berge</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> E' un lavoro che adoro come tutto questo periodo di DC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">La qualità di incisione non è particolarmente elevata ma offre comunque spunti interessanti.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>David Holland & Derek Bailey -Improvisations For Cello And Guitar 1971 (ECM 1013 ST)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Scoperto recentemente. Un lavoro eccezionale!! Due musicisti dal talento indiscutibile. Pura Improvvisazione. La musica dei loro strumenti si attrae e respinge continuamente rendendola a volte molto energica e altre volte invece piuttosto minimale. Un 'Best' dalla Ecm</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Incisione Spettacolare!!</span><br />
