Bob: Glad to hear that you made it to Ezra's. He is a wonderful guy with an incredible system. I heard that he is getting the new Transistor Research amps. I have their smaller integrated. The TRL 14 is an incredible machine at an affordable price... 
Django Reinhardt.
The only Django recordings that I've found that were remotely "audiophile" were the early Mercury and Clef 10 inch vinyl. As Mimberman stated, " ... audiophile and Django Reinhardt don't necessarily fit in the same sentence".It is a damn shame.Jac...

Baranyi: Have you had the opportunity to hear any of the modified players in your area?If so, which ones? Best,Jack Seaton
