Jason Moran's Ten

Jason Moran's Ten

Jason Moran’s <I>Ten</I> (Blue Note) commemorates the 10th anniversary of his trio called Bandwagon (with Tarus Mateen on bass, Nasheet Waits on drums), and it’s by far the group’s best recording, maybe Moran’s best all told, which, if so, would mean it surpasses his 2002 solo disc, <I>Modernistic</I>, which is saying a lot. Whether it does or not (I’m still mulling), this is a great album, that much is certain.

How much of your music collection is well recorded?

A perpetual problem for audiophiles has been finding that disc that not only satisfies the soul, but also placates the analytic brain as well. Of course your collection is filled with great music, but how much of it actually sounds <I>great</I>?

Bang & Olufsen, Beogram 3404?

Hi. I'm looking for an entry level Turn Table. While I do eventually want to go with a Pro-Ject RPM1.3 Turntable, I don't have 500 dollars to dedicate to a sound system right now. I have a friend offering me 150 dollars for a Bang & Olufsen, Beogram 3404. Assuming everything is in fine shape, how is this tuntable before I make the leap a couple years later? Would this be a good way to start listening to vinyl? I just don't want to scratch my records.
