frogman,Perhaps I hastily judged the title in question. I did listen to the rest of it and found some tracks to be very good (the tracks without the sonic pyrotechnics). Sound quality is excellent overall.However, I notice that many "modern" jazz ...

The sound effects are distortion to me, o. Just not for me, that one or any of similar ilk with such sound effects. I have heard quite a few of those recently and completely fail to understand the appeal. Jazz on.Dave

Bill, Re: your last paragraph, the source has a lot to do with those sound attributes. Usually a DAC or cartridge with superior resolution and detail (but not of the hashy sounding "false-resolution" variety) will deliver on that.  Also, I find th...
