Art Blakely & The Jazz Messengers Caravan (2024 Remaster) - anyone heard it?
I listened to this last night didn't even realize it was a new remaster as far as I can remember it sounded good I love that album. I was definitely multitasking however.  
Paypal drastic changes
This is not about politics so why don't we stop talking about them? And audioman58 your post has been debunked so many times there are not 85K new agents give it up.  
Basic Music Purchase Question
It will sound the same or possibly better yes.  
Jazz Mount Rushmore
Man how did I leave out Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young?! šŸ¤¦  
New streamer needed
An Auralic Aries G1 or G1.1 would fit the bill nicely and should be in your price range used.  
Jazz Mount Rushmore
Yes to Clifford Brown and Max Roach or course Art Pepper and Bill Evans. Also Kenny Burrell, Freddy Hubbard, Gene Ammons, Chick Corea, Stan Getz, Horace Silver, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock to name a few.  
Anybody here listened to Daniel Hertz Speakers? What did you think?
The M7 looks interesting but I think they are still a bit overpriced. Never heard them though are there even any dealers?  
Jazz Mount Rushmore
For me Sonny Rollins over Coltraine. And Thelonius Monk over Mingus. But yes on Miles and Duke. I'd love to have Dizzy Gillespie in there too and I have huge soft spots for both Oscar Peterson and Cannonball Adderly. And let's not forget Art B... 
Help . . . Iā€™m dumber than my active speakers!
Well you have a pretty killer system it just may sound better than those Dutch & Dutch 8C's. That said definitely experiment with positioning.  
Is it even possible to get a factory authorized dealer to give a discount?
If you establish a relationship with a good dealer and give them repeat business you will get some discounts. You will also likely get better sound overall.  
Line Magnetic 218a vs Leben CS600 -- am I insane? (aka when good beats great)
I would think a SET 211 amp might sound better than a PP EL34/6L6 amp regardless of manufacturer.

@dweller We must have different interpretations of hard! Don't you need at least two stereo or 4 mono amps to run these? Killer speakers once you do get them running @francij8 !  
Is it a Bad Tube or a Bad fuse (Fuse Fatigue)?
Artemus are you able to get the tubes tested? Otherwise that's quite the quandary perhaps sending a note to Don Sachs might give you some clarity?  
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
I like tube amps and generally don't like high powered tube amps so I look for sensitivity in speakers my current AN-J's are 93db and work well on 3.5 2a3 watts. šŸ˜‰  
Why did this 1975 amp sound so good?
+1 @ogiboy Also Tandberg made some droolworthy cassette decks! BTW there are few used Tandberg receivers over on Audiomart you may want to check out.
