Jazz Music Question
Welcome to JAZZ! Okay, here’s a can’t miss recommendation. McCoy Tyner and Jackie McLlean’s, 'You taught my heart to sing.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG9YKhD7A_sIt’s a 1985 release, when jazz was "coming back" to a modern audience. Not many ... 
Diana Krall
Diana's big influence was Nat King Cole. She can't play like Cole, nor sing as well, but she's a decent jazz piano player. Not the greatest, but not bad. The late-great bassist Ray Brown may have been the first to get her signed. Can she sing? She... 
Impressions of PS Audio GCPH
GCPH user still in 2021. It’s connected to an integrated. No noise, no hum, simply great music. Did I get an improved one? I don’t think so. PS Audio sold thousands of these most of which are still circulating and being used today, even though the...

A VPI 16.5 and this. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fsQRiZxjE-8Don’t make it difficult.  
System forclassical music
Buy a basic used system. $10k can go a long way used. Forget streaming. Play your own music on vinyl and cd. That’s good enough.  
CDP or DAC?
What, no turntable? 
Amplification: what are the biggest advances of the last 40 years?
No Class D. Overrated crap. Give me some Class A. Plinius, Pass, gets the job done.  
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.
Note to self - Stop drinking. Do you know I never drink? I’ve not had a drink since 1974 when I was in the Navy. Well, not for everyone. But if you’re buying gear drunk you have a problem.

All you rock n rollers! Educate your mind and get some jazz!  
Tube Preamp - What to buy?
Sound advice from @millercarbon! $2500 is the range of many fine integrated’s. Solve your amp problems. Buy an integrated. I bought a Willsenton KT88 for $1280 delivered. I spent $600 on tube upgrades. It drives my Martin Logan Spires just perfect... 
SET vs Push-Pull (Line Magnetic vs Primaluna)
You’re not doing bad with your PL upgrading your power tubes. Start with KT-88’s. Psvane or even Gold Lion tubes are fabulous.  
Buying used vs new?
Since the internet and the used audio market were invented I’ve always bought used. I’ve bought one dac and one integrated tube amp new in 26 years. The list has been many preamps, many amps, CD players, 3 turntables, countless  loudspeakers all M... 
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
It’s voodoo audio that prays on the weaknesses of those who simply want to believe that something so expensive must be effective, yes?  
pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3
@ tarheel, that Dac sounds like it’s got incredible specs. And it can act as a preamp. And it’s built in China! Is China surpassing the West with the delivery of the D90SE?
