I have a Musical Fidelity Elktra E20 Preamp, and lately it has been acting very strange. Every so often, at random, the mute will go off, or the selector switch will change inputs, or the volume will change. The remote broke ages ago and is out of the picture, I have no idea what would cause this behavior and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas.

San Francisco Symphony's Mahler Coming on Vinyl

Andrew Hill’s Point of Departure on 45 rpm vinyl

Andrew Hill’s Point of Departure on 45 rpm vinyl

Dec 01, 2010
Music Matters Jazz—the L.A.-based audiophile label that reissues classic Blue Note titles, each on twin slabs of thick, quiet vinyl, mastered at 45 rpm and eased into gorgeous gatefold packages—keeps churning them out.

One of their latest, and greatest, is Andrew Hill’s Point of Departure, a jaw-dropper from 1964 that sounds as fresh as tomorrow.

Hill, 33 at the time (he died in 2007, active till the end), was a precisely adventurous pianist and one of the most inventive composers of that transition era, pushing metric rhythms and chord-based harmonies right up to the edge dividing structure from freedom (he received informal lessons from Hindemith in his youth). Every player in his band—Eric Dolphy on reeds, Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Richard Davis on bass, Tony Williams on drums—was top-notch and hitting their peaks.
