Full House (live) - Wes Montgomery with the Wynton Kelly trio + Johnny Griffin.From 1962.  Sounding very "spry" at 60.   
Oscar Peterson Performance 1983 Live in Tokyo
Thanks for posting @mijostyn I just watched the clip on Beato's channel.  Simply amazing.  Oscar seems super human (especially what he's playing starting around 13:00 minutes).  The looks between his sidemen are priceless.  Enjoyed the whole thing... 
Speaker cable advice
Hello Mike - I had (and still do) a pair of Clear Day double shotgun speaker cables.  When I needed something warmer, I went to Cardas Clear Reflection.  Having written that, I do suggest you hold on to your Clear Days.  You might find down the ro...

@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...

Schiit Lokius anyone?
@jetter I'd certainly be interested in reading about your experience with the Lokius if you are ever inclined to write something up.  I share your aversion to "an excess of treble".     
Schiit Lokius 6 band equalizer - in use observations
@stereo5 Sorry.  Looks like I am mistaken.  Found the curves on images from HeadFi.org BUT they are for the Loki.  Would be nice if something comparable were done for the Lokius although I suspect it still won't do what you need if you require a f...

New/Used Amp recommendations for about $3k-$4k?
Maybe LSA's GaN amp being offered right now by Underwood HiFi would be of interest.

Renaissance - Ashes Are Burning 
Power
My 2 cents - I think your power cord budget is good for a solid performing Shunyata Venom HC v1 or v2. Great bargains used. On the power conditioner if you can go up a little $-wise, try an Isotek EVO3 Polaris. See listing at the Music Direct link...
