Monks are in deep denial of the human nature, they are materialistic too. 
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
John McLaughlin Trio - Que Alegria. Excellent music, average recording qualityJohn McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia/Al di Meola - Passion Grace&Fire. Great performance. Best acoustic guitar album of all times, in my view.

nyev, that's good. Just make sure they are burnt-in, power cords can take 300-500 hours. Yeah, it becomes even more fun when you mix different brands. I got lucky with that. I mix Purist, Tchernov and WyWires interconnects, power cords are Purist ... 
Wywires Silver to Platinum interconnects. How big an upgrade would that be ?
Got them today, unexpectedly earlier than I thought.They appear to be fully burnt in but I'll see. This is preliminary because I only listened with Grado RS1 Classic headphones and Burson Soloist headamp. I also made recording directly off the pho...
