nsp, can't say I would have identified him, but from the comments on that Allison link -- Wonderful alto from the mighty Arthur Blythe!rok, you and I may have different perspectives, but I'll just say that Mose was respected enough to have perform...

rok, you and I have agreed on enjoyment for several things posted here, so I'm a little surprised we have such divergent views now.  Not that any of us should think like another.But can you deny the impact of the blues in that development of what ... 
Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60
Thanks to Ralph for being a real gentleman here.  He replies to simply report relevant information without attempting a big sales push.That is unlike a dealer commenting over at Speakers who continues to push the OP to come to their store.  If lik...

Blues or jazz?  Does it matter?  Here's a favorite of mine -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJjUDD1o2M 
Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement
joth, I would say any reference/comparison to Eames designs is a high complement.  Several of those remain in continual demand  because they are considered classics.  I took audiotroy's "retro 50s" comment to reference speakers since that is the t... 
Manley snapper vs Atma-sphere M60
gwng8, I own Snappers and previously had a different model from AtmaSphere.  I agree that Ralph is one of the best for product support, but I found Manley to be very good as well when I had a problem -- friendly, competent service.Regarding sonics...

frog, I like this one better (but again I can blame it on my youth) -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcZUPDMXzJ8Speaking of which, this is admittedly not PC, but as a youngster it was my favorite song in the movie and I loved it -https://www.youtu... 
Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement
joth, I bought my Princess new and they were airfreighted to the US and delivered to my door.  But that was in three factory boxes strapped to a pallet.I see only two alternatives for your situation.  One, contact a commercial shipping business to...

alex, I agree.  We tend to love what we grew up with.That rationale was identified for the resurgent interest in muscle cars back in the '80s, those who had been teenagers were 20 years older and making enough $ to afford the dreams of their youth... 
Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement
joth, I'm not selling any of the recommendations I offered.I consider my room to be of medium size (20 x17 x 11) and I have no issues with image size from the Janszens.I agree with rcprince on the Maggie 20s, a wonderful speaker when set up proper... 
Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly
Is this device complex enough to justify a US price of nearly $200?  It doesn't appear to be.  The Jelco arm itself is not much more than twice that.

Did someone ask about Young Lions?  Other than Gilbert (who was their producer) everyone here is under 20.  How about a 13 year-old bass player?!?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rw9S2VQ1pU&list=PLvAKXY9HywaQTz-CRd2hJJ1wII61u9SpJ

pjw, I believe this was the second time you referenced current (newbie?) artists not selling many records.  "As far as jazz artists post 1970 - Do they sell a lot or records? No."Well, I've read that not even rock or pop artists make much from rec... 
Jazz for aficionados
frog, and others in this discussion, what qualifies as a "newbie"?  Some of this seems like anyone still alive! ;^)One of those Lovano links was 23 years old!  He was born in 1952!!For me, and this is arbitrary, I'd say someone not yet past their ... 
Recommendation for a modern Duntech Sovereign 2001 replacement
Hi joth, that is an interesting situation.We likely have similar tastes since I too owned Vandys, Thiels, and Duntechs.  In fact I kept my Princeses 19 years, longer than any other component I've owned.  Obviously I appreciate the 1st order crosso...
