Blue Mitchell - "Down With It" from the Blue Note Tone Poet series.  The performance, the technical reproduction, and the packaging = pure enjoyment! By the way, everything from the Tone Poet series sounds extraordinary!  
The best opening act you've ever seen & heard?
Great thread! In 1972 I went to a free concert in Eisenhower Park on Long Island, NY to see (if you can believe it) Jay and the Americans.  The opening act was an unknown group called Steely Dan!  
If Steely Dan had a different vocalist
I realize I'm not directly responding to this thread's topic:  Monkey House, but I thought I'd share my first exposure to The Dan.  It was 1972, just around the time when their first album was coming out.  I was at Eisenhower Park on Long Island f... 
Favorite moment with music in your car.
Radar Love by Golden Earing.  Not possible to play it too loud or too often!  
Steely Dan UHQR
I just listened to "Aja" two days ago and it was absolutely miles ahead of all previous versions I've experienced.  On top of that I had recently purchased the Dan's 3 previously released UHQR LP's and they are equally amazing.  I could not recomm...

grislybutter @orenstein I can come over and take and post your pictures for you :)    That sounds like an excellent idea, especially while enjoying a fine dram or two of scotch!  I'm on Long Island, NY.

tonywinga     You could create a virtual system page.   LOL  If I don't know how to post a pic do you really think I know what a virtual system page is, no less how to create one?

I was at the Axpona '19 show as well and spent a great deal of time in the Grandinote/Luna Cables room.  Masimilliano Magri, or Max, as his friends call him (the owner and chief engineer of Grandinote) is a great guy.  By the way, use all Luna Cab...

Hello Rick2000.   Congratulations, in advance, on acquiring the Mach 18s from Grandinote.  I could not be happier with my 36's.  They were custom built for me and they sound as impressive as they look.  Mine are hooked up to a Naim Statement sys...
