HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
@calvinj  Hi there. So sorry to hear about your loss of Charles this many years ago. Perhaps he is up there smiling at you carrying the torch here in this community, and I am sure others ...  Time, place, age, friends, cables ... in that order :...

@frogman  Thanks for sharing. I understand what you mean for sure. Your last sentence is spot on no doubt. Booker wrote about this subject. You may find some of it here in his quotes that sort of approach the subject gently. https://jazzprofiles...

Both are able to bring me to tears -  E.G, - Both playing the same tune, sort of same period //   Miles Quintet (Prestige)- Workin' - "It Never Entered my Mind"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Np8PJDGq_A   Chet Baker - "Chet" - It Never En...

For a manic jazz collector, this is a maddening task. So much has been listed here it's beyond. Maybe this already has, so apologies in advance. If I had to run out of the house right now -  Booker Little "Out Front", original Candid LP pressing ... 
More potential bad news for some big names...
@nitrobob  Hey. That’s you in there ya? Awesome. Love the lift and dial going vertical flat in a second and a half. Now if we just had those led red leds on the lower dash with double gauges on audio gear - well I am in. Bravo - thanks for sharin...
