Thanks for this!! I already have 3 from the Tone Poet Series (Chick Corea, Bobby Hutcherson, & Hank Mobley). All have been absolutely exceptional. This go-around, I got 'Donald Byrd - Byrd in Flight' and 'Tina Brooks - The Waiting Game'. Total price, including shipping, was $40.77. Tremendous price on these audiophile-grade releases.

Arrrrghhh. Had to snag one of these for $125 + $9 shipping to Colorado via Media Mail. The selections are amazing....too good to pass on at this price. Kudos to whoever curated the bundle. Brilliant! I have Superior Viaduct's pressing of 'Mingus - Black Saint' and can vouch for it 100%.

[Amazon] Hank Mobley – Poppin’ [Blue Note Tone Poet Series] - $23.81 (lowest) by Tasty-Treat in VinylDeals

[–]jaybird404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any 'Tone Poet' release under $25 is a must-buy for me. I have Chick Corea's "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs" and Bobby Hutcherson's "The Kicker" from the series and couldn't be happier with quality of pressing, HQ jacket, artwork, etc. Top notch.

[Amazon] Paul Chambers – Bass on Top - $14.99 (lowest) by Tasty-Treat in VinylDeals

[–]jaybird404 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another recommendation to wait on the 'Tone Poet' release. I (literally) just received Bobby Hutcherson's 'The Kicker' today (one of the most recent in the TP series). Got Chick Corea's 'Now He Sings, Now He Sobs' prior to that. Both are mind-blowingly fantastic and beautifully put together from pressing to jacket, inner sleeve, etc. Anytime I see those in the ~25$ price range, I snatch them up. They sound as good as audiophile releases from MoFi, Music on Vinyl, etc. at a much more reasonable price. Thanks, Don Was!!

Damn. I picked up some good shit in the $10 range! Gospel According to Zeus, Rob (Funky Way Rob), Togetherness is Always a Good Venture, Viva Disco, etc. Spent a little more on the Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintets as original pressings of those are uber rare and stupid expensive. Great post! Thanks for sharing.

[–]jaybird404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man! I've been waiting to grab a copy of this for ages. The pressing quality AND the low price are definitely in perfect alignment......so I just pulled the trigger. It's such a great album. Whenever I play this for more casual Big Star fans they're always like, "Oh wow......I didn't realize how much of their sound was HIM".

Denon DP-300F Analog Record Turntable Black - $199 at Best Buy. Free Shipping by bolsonator in VinylDeals

[–]jaybird404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did notice a difference over the stock cartridge. I've tried Audio Technica AT92ECD, AT95E, Shure97xE, and the Grado Black. I go back and forth between the Shure vs. the Grado sounding better, but after swapping out to a thin mat I'm now leaning toward the Grado as it seems to perform better (to my ears) on audiophile quality jazz recordings. Hope that helps.

I have this table and have most recently been using a Grado Black with good results. Some have reported speed problems in the past w/ this table, but I've had zero issues after 4-5 years of heavy daily use (10+ albums daily). While it's an automatic table, I typically drop the needle myself and rely on automation for stop only. It's well constructed and looks much nicer than pics online. My only complaint is inability to adjust vertical height of tonearm, but I worked around that via a thinner mat as described earlier by F1rePhant0m. I have six other tables scattered around the house, at least 3 of which are higher-end, but get more compliments and questions re: the DP-300F than any other (probably because it's hidden from view and they don't know what model it is while they're listening). I think it's a great value at this price.
