Went to the Village Vanguard earlier this week and heard Javon Jackson quartet. Stayed for both sets. They were very cohesive. Javon Jackson (tenor sax) Jeremy Manasia (piano) David Williams (double bass) McClenty Hunter (drums). Easily worth the ...

@orpheus10 Ah Blue Train--I have played this recording too many times to count. Trust me, my family tells me so. The whole album is wonderful and the title song itself never grows old to me.  From the original liner notes: "The title number, Blue ...

@m-db Thanks for the post and insight. At AXPONA 2017 I heard what I I needed to hear and ended up with used Joseph Perspectives in terrific condition. I bought them here on A'gon. Couldn't be happier. I have them paired with a new Jeff Rowland Co...

Two rooms I spent time in that are worthy of mention are the Modwright/Daedalus rooms. Overall, I enjoyed them both. One room featured the Poseidon V2 speakers with the KWA 150 SE connected to the SWL 9.0 Anniversary Edition Pre. The other room fe...

@dragon_vibe I did spend some time in this room. When I was there the sound I heard was engaging, really beautiful. If I'm not mistaken, they were featuring the T1.5 Reference--little dog and parrot sitting on top of the speakers. Those speakers t...

@milpai I didn't get to hear the ProAC D30S. Thanks for the report. I did listen to several speakers that I listed earlier on this thread, which I now re-list below with my abbreviated report on each:PSB T3 (The PSB room didn't have T3s, but was p...
