| List of artists that have never lost quality throughout entire career Top of the heap ... Sarah Vaughan. She never lost it. Not one iota. In fact, her instrument continued to grow right to the end. Perfect pitch and a voice that emulated a wonderfully lush tenor saxophone that tenor saxophone players only wished the... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wolf-Garcia ...Thanks for the Lenny Breau recommendation. I checked him out on Spotify and put him on the "to do" list. Definitely my kind of music. The sellers sure are proud of the guy based upon the prices they want for his CD's. Here' the one... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ geoffkait ...There were a couple of posters who've tried the Bees Wax fuses. They seem to prefer them slightly over the SR Black fuses. No one to my knowledge has tried the "cryo" ... at least they haven't mentioned it. Graphene contact enhanc... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ And to think that these recordings were made back in time and turned out with such realism. It proves it can be done ... so why don’t the major labels do it anymore??Sure, there’s tape hiss on a lot of the old analog recordings, but I look at ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ The opening bass line on the first cut of disc # 4 is worth the cost of the entire set. I swear there is a bass player in the room. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Guys ...Here's something really special. The music is great for those nights when you want your jazz a little further out there, but still want it subdued and relaxing. The recordings are first rate and demo quality. In the room kind of quality. A... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ Thanks, Charles. I was taken up in the debate betweem West Coast vs East Coast jazz. I heard the difference as being "West Coast, melodic --- East Coast, discordant." But what did I know ... I was only 16-18 years old during those days and i... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Thanks for all of the interesting comments. I think my favorite "Firebird" in my collection is an LP of Stravinsky Conducts Stravinsky." On Columbia. Stravinsky was conducting the CSO in celebration of his 80th birthday. It just seems to work. But... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ^^^ geoffkait ...I have a polarity switch on my pre-amp. I'll check it out and get back to you, although what this disc was doing last night was uncanny. Huge sound stage, instruments all separated and tonally correct. The brass was incredible an... |
