What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you?
When the music won't listen and I am not really listening to my wife either she advises me to get my panties out of a wad by suggesting that I "take a hike" - not in the colloquial sense but in the literal meaning of the expression which I do. I h... 
Please Recommend some Charlie Parker Recordings!
A lot of of my jazz friends regard "Charlie Parker With Strings" as sort of a betrayal of Parker's most riffiest riled up playing, but to me the strings tracks let him play more mellifluously and with more room to breath. His deftness and spot on ...

Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
My backup transport - the CDT2 Mk3 - was an offered upgrade. The original machine was a Mk2. I paid for an upgrade board to be sent to me by Jay's. It was pretty easy to install. This was a few years ago.  
Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?

I tend to always leave a CD in the transport. I know what you mean about the twiddling sound. It probably is doing no harm, but it's a big, beautiful beast of a transport; and you don't want to offend her.
