Upgraded to Tidal today
@whitestix congrats having done the same some years ago I know what a profound sound quality upgrade you've made. And I find the Tidal jazz catalog to be quite deep and varied and I listen to tons of jazz. 
my first hight end sound system , please don’t ignore
Definitely on the right track! Edge amps are excellent and very underrated. My only thought is you might find the combination of a SS amp, silver speaker cables and a ribbon tweeter on the bright side. Then again it may be perfect for you. Most of... 
Tube Amp Questions
Arvin,You are on the right track, regardless of what anyone tells you or the specs your ears are the ultimate judge. Have fun and trust in what you hear! And as you said take your time getting it right will be worth the time spent.Cheers,Jon 
Why so few speakers with Passive Radiators?
I used to own the original Sonus Faber Grand Piano which had a passive front radiator. A small floorstander that was pretty easy to drive but always seemed a bit bass shy to me. Never really fell in love with it and sold it before to long. I know ...

Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement
Since you are now retired and presumably have some free time get out and start listening! Where are you located? Any good dealers or Audio Shows in your area? Consider you're basically starting with a blank sheet of paper so go slow take your time... 
Luxman CL38U-SE in the house
The OP means an integrated preamp the CL-38uSE combines linestage and phono. The OP previously had an outboard phono stage. Very cool looking preamp I love the retro look, I bet it sounds amazing I have a fondness for Japanese sound. Happy listeni...

Charles I loved it just so much fun to listen to creative swinging and fun. And Wonderland is nice too much more straight ahead bop and very well done. Tijuana Moods is next as it's supposed to be another classic recording will report back> 
Let's talk power cords
Charles I love Mingus Oh Yeah! It's really swinging with a super bluesy feel to it great music as I'm here cooking! Wonderland is queued up next, and what are your thoughts on Tijuana Moods? 
Let's talk power cords
Charles,Thanks for the recs working through Everbody Digs Bill Evans now but Mingus Oh Yeah is queued up next. I will admit I never really got into Ah Um which is considered an all-time classic. Lets see if Oh Yeah grabs me! Cheers,Jon
