@alexatpos Hello alex - Apologies to all the "aficionados" for bringing up yet again an already discussed topic.  I certainly wasn’t taking issue with anything you had said. If your tastes lead you to sort of "specialize" in a certain period of ja... 
Recently re-discovered or newly discovered music in your current "heavy rotation"
Hey there max.  Glad you enjoyed Snarky Puppy.  Best part of this site is sharing music that clcks for someone else.  I don't know Galactic but will give them a try.

@alexatpos - That's a clever set list.  Thanks.You might be right about the best parties being long gone.  On the other hand, I tend to think our retrospective assessment of such things is often colored by the growing awareness of our own mortalit...

Irony, Rok.  "Noise making" (pardon the typo) was quoting you about another fusion outfit.But you and Wynton go ahead and keep guarding that House of Pure Jazz, meanwhile the party has moved a LONG way down the road from there.

storage options for MacBook Air
Hi scar - Glad things are sounding good.  If you haven't yet, get the BitPerfect.  It's only $10 bucks and easy to install and set up.  Might improve the SQ even further for you.  The BitPerfect people also provide great tech support.

Corner loading/left louder ?
PS - Any way you can put a bi-folding decorative panel(s) behind and to the side of the left speaker?  If it is room asymmetry, maybe that would help.  Something lightweight you could move out of the way when not listening to music. 
Corner loading/left louder ?
arcticdeth - I sympathize.  For whatever reason channel imbalance makes me crazy.  I don't know why it can bug me so much.  If you have a balance contral, by all means use it.  BUT first if it were me, I'd be reversing speaker cables at the amp to...

Acman - That seems true for me as well. The older I get, the less I know.If you have track and album names for those Pat Metheny selections you wanted me to hear on AllMusic, please advise and I will try to find them on Spotify (or Tidal).Thanks.

Frogman - Thank you very much for those descriptive paragraphs capturing Cuong Vu's trumpet playing and the "Acid Kiss" song structure.  It rounds out the listening experience for me.   I liked Acid Kiss (really, the whole LP) but specifically wha...
