Agreed, that's really why I went ahead and filled the "holes" to put together a second system with the main prerequisite being a TT with detachable head shell

Congrats! The Gold is great!
That’s why you need a second tone arm! When I went to Japan a few years ago, found a tiny whiskey bar where the owner was obsessed with early American jazz music. Behind the bar was floor to ceiling shelving full of records. He had a crazy vinyl setup and was rocking two tone arms which I had never seen before l but I asked and it was because he had one mono cart and one stereo cart.Thats the one thing with not having a detachable headshell, no interest there, doing a full cart install between records isn’t my idea of fun
I forgot how much you dislike jazz haha. It was awesome for me though! The guy had SO much amazing music.The joys of having a nice, but not expensive, turntable, nowhere to mount a second tonearm! Oh well I’ll just have to make do as i am...
Whilst that sure sounds like a cool ambiance, musically it sounds like my description of hell
I'm no Jazz aficionado, but I have my fair share I enjoy, my wife on the other hand walks in and literally tells me she would rather gouge her eyes out with a fork than listen to Jazz, lol.
Ya, I don't know where I am, I'm more I listen and if I like it, its all good. I started off strong because I think I just grabbed the "right" albums, then came Ascension and I realized there's "acclaimed" Jazz that's just not for me
That's a big part of what took me so long to actually like jazz...it's the most fickle fan base and can be the most pretentious community of a hobby that can already be really pretentious haha. There's also just SO much of it, so many subgenres, even artist catalogues like Coltrane's and Miles' are so vast and different from album to album where you might really dislike one (like @AnthonyI with Ascension) but then love another of his albums. I find it kind of fascinating to follow the breadcrumbs in jazz. Shades of Blue by Madlib got me interested in jazz, then I just looked at who worked on which songs and tracked music that way--I like the drumming on this song...that drummer also worked with this other artist on a different album...etc. I know you can do that with other genres of music too but session musicians feels more prominent in jazz.
If I am ever your secret Santa I will find a jazz album of Pink Floyd songs.
Well done.Hmmm, just saw that I received an email from Grado promoting their headphone boxes with this at the end:

I put some Hemps in a cart and entered my guess, but got this message: "The coupon entered can be used one time only and has already been redeemed."
