Mission speakers
I highly recommend the 761i. A really fine bookshelf speaker, with dual woofers and a center tweeter, 90db/8ohms. I have had several pairs of these and they never cease to surprise me with how good they sound. They show up periodically on e-bay an...

Wolfgangs is great. Curious about their format, though. Why are only some shows available for purchase?Here is another "concert vault" site that is well worth checking out. Bit of a different format; only certain shows are available for download a...

Getting to the tubes in the TAD-150 is a bit of a chore...you need to unscrew the top screws as well as the four upper screws on either side of the unit. After you remove the cover, you need to unscrew the two screws that secure the reflective chr... 
Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio
I second the "Paul Desmond Quartet Live," also Paul Desmond's "Easy Living" (and most of his other early sixties recordings) and Jim Hall's "Concierto," featuring both Paul Desmond and Chet Baker (and Sir Roland Hanna on piano, Steve Gadd(!) on dr... 
Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio
If you haven't heard it, check out Bill Evans "Moonbeams."
