Fortapache,
I imagine your system sounds very special and conveys the emotion of music very well.
Jetrexpro,I`ve admired your system for a while.How does this Yamamoto 2A3 amp based system contrast to the sound of your custom 300b SET amplifier?

Fortapache,
Thanks for your very kind comment.
I can relate completely to your priorities,communication,soul,emotion and involvement.If these are absent nothing else matters or can substitute for them.Your system must provide you with an abundance of musical pleasure and honesty. It`s funny you mention feeling as though you know the musician.I`ve come to notice that connection when listening.I really feel as if on some level I know Carmen McRae,Thelonious Monk,Miles and Chet Baker among others I hear often.

Fortapache,
If one thing is certain, everyone has an opinion about most anything.So much in life is subjective. Chet Baker is one of my favorite musicians regardless of instrument.Why? His playing moves me and I want to hear more,he gets to me.I understand he couldn`t read music(according to G. Mulligan) and there may be some technical flaws in his approach,I don`t care! Chet just flat out communicates and saturates me with his beautiful horn and the major emotion he generates.I listen to Chet as often as I do Clifford Brown,Miles,Art Farmer etc. They all touch me and pull me in and keep me there.Chet is very high on my list in this regard.His ability to express such emotion with his horn is remarkable.
Fortapache,your Yamamoto is speaking the truth as is my Frankenstein. If others don`t appreciate his talent that`s their loss. I won`t criticise someone`s preferences I just know what appeals to me.

Wow! You guys seemed to really enjoy each other`s audio systems. I`m sure I`d love them both also.It wonderful to have systems that preserve the pure joy and emotion music has to offers.My hat`s off to you two fellow music lovers.

Fortapache,
Some Chet Baker recommendations (unless you already have them).
"The Art of the Ballad"
"The Italian sessions"
"Chet"
"Stairway to the Stars"
"Chet Baker inParis"
If you happen to like trumpeter Nicholas Payton, "Finger painting", ,beautiful playing.

Fortapache,
I think you'll like all the suggested Baker CDs. If you could choose only one, I'd select "Chet" if features Kenny Burrell, Pepper Adams, Herbie Mann and Bill Evans. Chet plays in top form and his horn sounds gorgeous with his rich beautiful tone. Each musician plays wonderfully.

Fortapache,I got my Yamamoto DAC from the U.S.distributor in February 2010. He`s no longer in bussiness. It`s such a special DAC,with chet and most other jazz CDs you are in the music venue with them.What ever Shigeki Yamamoto learned building SET amps he sure applied this to his DAC.

Brett,
The version of "Chet" I have is the single bonus track .

Fortapache,
Yes Venus audio is who I bought from, I could`nt recall the name, he was a nice guy.

Jetrepro,
I believe you and Fortapache would really appreciate Gerry Mulligan's "Night Lights". Beautiful playing and recorded well. It features Art Farmer and Jim Hall among others. They're in the room with you.
