Acoustic Sounds Series
Rhino offered up the Atlantic mono Coltrane. I have Giant Steps and can say my mono cartridge tracks it perfectly.https://www.rhino.com/product/the-atlantic-years-in-mono

ei001h, not sure why you’re asking me about a streaming service being better than Tidal or Qobuz. Personally, I prefer playing the files on my external SSD. I do have Qobuz and Tidal but I listen to them casually. 
Tried DSD?
I've purchased an Analogue Productions RCA Living Stereo Hybrid SACD remaster 'Scheherazade' and it sounds great but I do not have SACD playback, so I'm just listening to the cd layer.I've downloaded two DSD files from Native DSD and they may be t...

Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise?

Thanks jcazador. I have her Brahms cd on D&G and the Chopin Etudes on Teldec, both excellent. It was a good while back when I lived between Paris and Cologne, I miss those times.

Elizabeth Leonskaja, a pianist that Richter thought very highly of, released a Schumann recording at the beginning of 2020. I have not heard this recording but many years ago I saw Elizabeth Leonskaja give a Beethoven recital at the Theatre Champs...
