Jazz on Vinyl Vol.2 – Duets Michael Ausserbauer Vinyl Record

Jazz on Vinyl Vol.2 – Duets Michael Ausserbauer is a Michael Ausserbauer vinyl record designed for playback on a turntable. Its programme contains eight tracks, with four tracks on each side of the record. This arrangement makes it easy to choose which part of the programme you want to hear before you begin listening.

Who This Record Is For

This release is suitable for listeners who choose music by reviewing the track list and want to play it on a turntable. Side one contains four tracks, beginning with “Summertime” and ending with “Glasshouse Groove.” Side two opens with “Never Been There Before” and concludes with “Lonnie’s Lament.”

Both sides contain the same number of tracks. The playing time of each side is not stated, so the exact listening time cannot be determined in advance. To hear the complete eight-track programme, you will need to turn the record over after the first side has finished.

Choosing a Side

The first side opens with the recognisable title “Summertime.” It continues with “La cuerda y el viento,” “Hit it, hit it,” and “Glasshouse Groove.” Choose this side when you want to begin at the start of the album’s listed running order and hear the first four-track sequence as presented.

The second side contains “Never Been There Before,” “Round Midnight,” “That’s Too Big A Thing,” and “Lonnie’s Lament.” Together, these tracks form a separate four-track sequence. You can select this side when you want to begin with its opening track instead of waiting for the entire first part of the programme to play.

Playback and Care

Playing the record requires a turntable with a correctly adjusted stylus and a phono preamplifier. The phono stage may be built into the turntable or amplifier, or it may be used as a separate component. Connect the turntable to a standard line-level input only after its signal has been amplified by a phono preamplifier. The same requirement applies when connecting it to a home cinema receiver.

The record itself has no connections, so compatibility depends on the turntable and the complete signal chain used with it. The technical details of this release have not been confirmed on this page. You should therefore not choose turntable settings based only on the album title or the number of tracks.

Before playback, check the rotational speed printed on the record label and select the corresponding setting on the turntable. Clean the surface with a brush intended for vinyl, moving it in the direction of the grooves. Handle the record only by its outer edges and the centre label to reduce contact with the playing surface.

Set the tracking force and anti-skating according to the requirements of the turntable, cartridge, and stylus being used. If wider gaps are visible between the tracks, lower the stylus slowly at the beginning of the section you have selected. This helps prevent the stylus from landing in an active part of the groove.

Before turning the record over, stop the turntable and raise the stylus. Lift the record by its edges with both hands. After listening, return it to its inner sleeve and store it vertically. Do not stack other records on top of it, and keep it away from direct sunlight, heat, and substantial changes in temperature.

Technical Specifications

FAQ

What kind of listener is this vinyl record intended for?

It is intended for turntable users who are specifically interested in the listed eight-track programme. The tracks are divided equally between two sides, with four tracks on each side.

What equipment do I need to start listening?

You need a turntable, a suitable turntable stylus, a phono preamplifier, and an audio system. The phono preamplifier may be built into one of the components in your system rather than used as a separate device.

Can I connect the turntable to an amplifier’s line input?

Yes, provided that the turntable has an enabled built-in phono preamplifier or a separate phono preamplifier is used. An unamplified turntable signal is intended for a dedicated phono input rather than a standard line-level input.

Can I listen to the record through a home cinema system?

Yes, if the system can accept a correctly amplified turntable signal. This requires either a suitable phono input or a separate phono preamplifier with a line-level output.

Is the record’s rotational speed specified?

No. The rotational speed is not provided on this page. Check the record label before playback and select the appropriate speed on the turntable only after confirming it there.

Are the record size and release details specified?

No. The record’s size, year of release, label, and catalogue number are not provided on this page. The exact release version therefore cannot be identified from these details in the description. If any of them are important to your purchasing decision, they should be confirmed before ordering.

Is information about the contents and production provided?

This page does not state how many discs the release contains, what packaging is included, where the record was manufactured, or how it was mastered. These details cannot be determined from the eight-track listing alone and should not be treated as confirmed.
