The Evolution of Modern Jazz
Thank you. "Visions Of The Emerald Beyond" is something that I like a lot. It is also quite different from earlier McLaughlin's work. And Jean-Luc Ponti does the violin part really well.

Why magic at 80 db?
That's how they are made...ah, forget it. I wish I could too. 
Why magic at 80 db?
Many good posts. The better the system with less noise and distortion the better it will sound at both low and high levels. And everything in between.I'd say, yeah, my system too sounds best at probably 70db-80db. Go louder - significantly more di... 
Budget system around 1K
Tandberg 3012 or 3012A integrated or Audiolab 8000A integrated (original British made not current), any of them around $300-$350. All have MM phono, not sure if you can run LOMC with them. I wouldn't. As for speakers..yes, older Snell or Audionote...

Rowlands
I heard than Coherence II and 9T monoblocks was the best Rowland pair ever. And that many prefer older Rowlands anyway. 
The Evolution of Modern Jazz
And Coltrane showed everyone how saxophone can be played. So did Miles with trumpet. Sorry if I jumped ahead quickly. 
Are the CD'S days numbered?
Used cds will probably be available for at least the next 100 years if they can last that long. As for new releases..who knows? Anyway, I try to buy as few of them as possible especially new. And I go for Japanese. In my experience they are always... 
Mystical Performances
I meant Yngwie Malmsteen.
