| Jazz for aficionados For those interested in the life of Rahsaan Roland Kirk, there is a biography called "Bright Moments" that I recommend.One chapter mentions the take-over by Kirk and Lee Morgan of a Merv Griffin Show taping in 1968. | |
| TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service I was told by a Auralic dealer in Indiana that one must buy an iPhone or an iPad to utilize the entire system. I have thought about getting an Aries with the Tidal service. I own a P S DirectStream DAC already ! | |

| Accuphase T-1000 tuner I borrowed this tuner for the weekend. It is a real treat tolisten to this tuner. The sound is without artifacts. If you want to listen to the tuner, call Quintessence Audio inMorton Grove, Illinois. | |
| The best sounding FM Tuner is..... the Acccuphase T-1000 tuner. And people can actually buyone. The bad part is that it costs $4500. I intend to buy mine soon. | |
| Jazz Big Band Recommendations? I recommend the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Big Band. The Mosaic set is out of print, but individual CDs are still available. These are the charts that Basie did not want totouch because they were too complex. | |
| Jazz Recommendations If you love Monk, you will enjoy Bud Powell (4cd set onBlue Note), Randy Weston "Volcano Blues", and Mal Waldron"Hot House". | |
