Was 1971 the high point of popular music?
@tony1954 yeah, I read your question. And the list of albums to. And I understood it to mean you’re saying there will never be a year where music was good as in 1971. Am I missing something?

Why isn't better quality used gear being made available?
A month ago there was PS Audio BHK 300 amps on every site.  And today there are none that I can find.  I’m not sure what you are looking for, but you have to just keep looking. All the best.

Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?

@pjw81563 , Bill Evans is definitely in my top five piano players. I really like the way he tickles the ivory’s.  I’ll try to watch the documentary. Thanks.  
HoloAudio Spring 3 Kitsune DAC NOS
While I don’t know your DAC, when listening to Jazz, I mostly leave my DAC on NOS, but sometimes I set it on OS and add a “Slow” filter if I listen to Rock. Play with all the settings and have fun.
