No, 'scat' is the singing of nonsense words (for example: "be bab a do wha") as lyrics. It was naturally invented by Ella Fitzgerald when she forgot the actual lyrics to a song she was singing and sustituted scat in their place.
'Vocalese' is different, it is a style or musical genre of jazz singing in which words are added to an instrumental soloist's improvisation. I find it mawkish and syrupy and dislike it enormously.

Excellent choice Dave - but what have you done to the platter of your Lenco?

Are you alluding to the fact that I have stacked platters? If so then I did it many years ago.Excellent choice Dave - but what have you done to the platter of your Lenco?
I had to upgrade the bearing to a new one especially made for the job. And of course I had to add a longer spindle.
Both were aquired through 'Lenco Heaven'.

Yes it was the stacked platters. At first glace it looks as though you had turned your GL75 into an autochanger.
What is the advantage of a stacked platter?

Well apart from the fact it looks damned cool.Yes it was the stacked platters. At first glace it looks as though you had turned your GL75 into an autochanger.

It further detaches the motor from the stylus more giving a more inky blackness to the background.
The original Lenco platter was prone to ringing a bit. The weight of two platters with Garrard platter rings between them stops all that.
It's also supposed to give a bigger more precide soundstage.
As with all things though everything is subjective.
