Hate typos. Make that, "Jonathan Kreisberg kinda steals the show". Sorry, Tweak. No clue about locking an Oppo onto a DVD.

Spiral - (Dr.) Lonnie Smith 2010 recording.  Excellent organ trio work (guitarist Jonathan Kreisberg kinda steels the show at times).  Spectacular sonics.  
Isotek Evo3 Aquarius
Doh!  Didn't look carefully at the op when it appeared with a current reply to it.  You are no doubt right.  A decision already made.Have heard good reports about Puritan. 
Isotek Evo3 Aquarius
I have the Isotek Evo3 Aquarius. Everything but the amp is powered through it. It made a big difference to the sound quality of my system - comparable to a component upgrade, I would say. I’d been doing progressively more with respect to power qua...

@jafant Thanks for the Lee Morgan suggestion.  @georgehifi Not a huge EJ fan either, but Madman is a favorite album: the title track, exceptional and powerful 50 years later; the lesser known "All The Nasties" with that crescendo-ing outro has som...

Night Dreamer followed by Juju.  Wayne Shorter again.  Juju (new to me) is impressive.

I guess you knew that's Lee playing trumpet on Night Dreamer.  But don't forget Freddie (on Speak No Evil).  He always seems to make me sit up and pay attention.

Thanks @jafant I'm so ignorant about most of the standard jazz catalog and I'm a slow "reader".  Takes me a long time to "get" some of it...well, what doesn't bore me and that, I'm finding, often means quintets.  So, that's how we arrived at these...
