Duke Ellington And His Orchestra ‎- Ellington At Newport (Columbia 1956 6eye)A classic. Notes indicate the crowd of over 7000 were wildly dancing on their seats forcing the police to signal to the Duke to stop.

Bill Evans - Living In The Crest Of A Wave (Elektra 1984)Immaculate recording. Sounds processed though. Full bass and detailed top. Anyone know if it's digital?

OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level!
@geoffkait Quad 57s. Took my perfect metal grills off. You haven't lived until you pull 80 staples embedded in wood from a creaky frame. I was expecting a massive difference what with all that metal. Not that big a change but I rest easier knowing...

What was wrong with the P-mount ?
