| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,100% agree, Clifford is unquestionably an all time great and he gets his due recognition. Sheldon is one of those fine jazz musicians who seem to be relegated to relative obscurity. When Clifford and Max Roach had their legendary quintet, i... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jond,The album cover is a bonus 😊. As a former trumpeter back in my youth I can say that Jack Sheldon is a beautiful sounding player. Charles, | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jond,While I'm at it, here's a very fine early stereo recording (1956 -57 ) that's just plain good music. You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce " Counce is the leader on bass. This recording features two very talented but underappreciated playe... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Jond,I hope you like it. Here are two that I just got today, both by pianist Eric Reed "Manhatten Melodies" and "Pure Imagination ". They're very good pure straight ahead jazz recordings. Knowing the system you have this music will just flo... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,I know you're a huge fan of West Coast jazz so I have a good recommendation (unless you already own it ) for you. John Lewis, "2 Degrees East-3 Degrees West". The CD version has additional tracks that are very good. Ýou get Bill Perkin... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Thanks Joe,I definitely trust your judgment and ears. You have three amplifiers that are highly regarded and that's why I was very interested in your direct listening experiences with them. If I weren't so happy with my Coincident Total Eclipse II... | |

| Horning owners what amps have you used? Joe,I'm curious, which amplifier do you prefer regarding the Pass Labs XA 30.8 and your First Watt? I was interested in the First Watt at one time (particularly the S.I.T.) but came to the realization that the Frankenstein is going to be my per... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Hi Joe,Your comparison of the Pass XA 30.8 and Frankenstein is similar to another gon member who replaced his Pass integrated amplifier with the Frankenstein. On the other hand reviewers Jack Roberts and Srajan Ebean chose the XA30.8 over their fo... | |
| Best DAC for CD redbook playback from a PS Audio Perfectwave transport I have to agree with Robert Deutsch in his assessment of the PWT. It has consistently outperformed the transport sections of CD players in direct comparison I've heard. It is a top tier transport for Redbook CD sound quality. Charles, | |
| Best DAC for CD redbook playback from a PS Audio Perfectwave transport The PWT is an excellent CD transport and will work well with any high quality DAC IMO. I use the PWT with a Yamamoto DAC and have heard it used with an Aesthetic Pandora DAC as well. In both cases the sound quality was terrific via rca input /cab... | |
