@alexatpos  Al Haig is wonderful. It’s looking like I’m going to have the house to myself tomorrow and I know what I will be listening to.😁  
What is your front end ?
Aurender or CDT.  Haven’t played vinyl since my table started to go south. Now I using the streamer most of the time.  I am putting together another system in an extra bedroom.  Right now it has a BS Node 130 as its source, but all my records are... 
MBL 101E
When it comes to people’s asking prices EBay,  just remember P.T. Barnum.  
All Hail the meek --yet mighty – NODE 2i
I have a N130, with a Teddy Pardo LPS in my second system.  While I don’t listen to it as often, it still sounds great after 3+ years.  
Denafrips Pontus *15th* ?

Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need?
I listen to Mostly Jazz and some rock and I bet I don’t go past 5 watts 90% of the time. I actually have two systems.  one has 40 watt mono blocks and it can blast you out of the room the other has 300 watt mono blocks and I bet I’ve never used 10... 
Need recommendations on 15ft speaker cables
@saurabhgarg Audio Advisor has several different Audioquest speaker cables in balk. I bought a set that they made, using the Rocket 88 cable and decent banana plugs for a lot less then AQ charges. The biggest difference is they don’t come with t...

My sister in law is visiting and last night she reintroduced me to PDQ Bach and we spent the entire evening laughing.  Know it’s not jazz related, but the albums are fun to listen to.
