Jafant, I've wasted as much time as I'm going to waste in an attempt to move forward. Now that I have resolved that issue within myself, every evening is an enjoyable event; especially since I've made some improvements, and the jazz masters never... 
Classic el34 tube amps versus current models
You made a very good purchase; those Prima Luna are comparable to much more expensive amps.  When that happens, quite often the price goes up.Enjoy

Although I most certainly liked the music, I wouldn't rush out and buy the album. Think about it, if you were one of the people in the audience, you would have had a very special evening.No artist produces one album after another as good as his b...

The very best music is that which has withstood the test of time and repeats; no matter how many times you've heard it, it still sounds good.Such music in my collection that exists, I will share it with you; The Jazz Crusaders, "Young Rabbits" is ...

I can tell you liked that other Yoko's music about as well as I did; some things I just don't get, and that was one of them.This Yoko is sounding so good, I had to play her again. I hear real roots jazz, certainly not "stereotypical", plus she is ...

Acman, I can understand your rationale; I would have been more than a little bit upset.I bought Miles "Sketches of Spain" and it has some kind of classical music on one side; I considered that so unusual that I kept it.You definitely submitted the...
