Jazz for aficionados
@stuarti  I’m listening to Plus 4 now and have never heard The Bridge, so I’ll put it on next. As always,  Thank you for your suggestions.

Todays a Sonny Rollins day. I’ve listened to three albums already and the days still young.  Any suggestions for the next album?  
Qobuz vs Tidal
I have Qobuz and Amazon and depending on your musical preferences, they cover pretty much everything. I will say that Qobuz has a better software, they sound pretty close to my ears. Your Ears Might Very.😀  
A question about tube rolling
Tubes are a commodity and are subject to supply and demand and of course, greed!  They have become a buyer beware market item, so unless you see the tubes on the testing machine, I’d stick with trusted dealers like Brent Jesse. All the best.

Bose 901 Review Well Done.
Nine of the same drivers puking their little coils out at really loud volume! The stories of their business practices of Bose  back then are interesting also.  
Sonus Faber Upgrade worth it
@conrads1 I’m confused, If you already own both sets of speakers and you have listened to both sets of speakers and the Serafino G2 sounds better to you, than what’s your question again? BTW, I have the Amati G5’s and really enjoy them!  
Who's winning?
