| Jazz for aficionados While I’m usually not big on groups led by bass players, I’ve glistening to Niels Henning Orsted Petersen. The first album I listened to was Trio One and it was definitely what I expected, very bass heavy, but the second album, The Trio, has Osca... | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. When I tell my wife that I’m thinking of buying something, after she asks how much, she says if you’re going to enjoy it, then go for it. Alas I am definitely not talking about a million dollar system though. | |
| Ken Fritz article I just read the article with half a tear in my eye because I already knew the story and it’s sad ending. But it really makes you think about your life choices and how they can affect others. Rest in peace Ken Fritz. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Another piano player of note is Phineas Newborn. Listening to No Moon At All now, but there are many others to choose from. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks @acman3 Listening to the album now it’s good. Clear and very three dimensional! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Are there any clear recordings of Milt Jackson out there? Most everything I hear is sonically awful. Flat and over modulated at the same time. | |

| Still Looking for a DAC - Audio Mirror Tubadour v and ANK Audio 5.1 @hasmarto I know there’s a 5.1, but I don’t remember seeing a 6.1. But maybe hey snuck one by me.😁. Actually, there’s a 5.1 here on Agon. They’re asking $4000 for it. All the best. | |
| Tubed preamps and Power amps- How old is too old??? If you still like the sound of your CJ Premier, Look for a good repair shop and have them give it a “tuneup”. They will clean what needs to be cleaned, replace the capacitors in the power supply and anywhere else they think should be replaced and... | |
| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! Getting a pair of Ohm F speakers and powering them with a Ampzilla amp. Went through several preamps back then, so it was either a SP3a, an SP6 or a modded Hafler DH101. | |

| Thinking of changing amplifier to @yyzsantabarbara Lol, I doubt I use 90% of the power I have now. I’d be doing it for the separate power supplies, the tubes, the potential quality increase and to get back to separates. Oh and maybe because they’re there. 😁 |
