o10, more about "actually going on a caravan".https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5u3VVX-6Mo&list=PLC53r5P0vCHKn3dzVT8bRH3eOcPWJi7z0But consider the whole album.  Is that close enough to jazz? ;^) 
Feickert Protractor - anyone use one?
mohawk, I've used a Dennesen for years.  It predates the Feickert and works on the same principles but is not as versatile.  It has been out of production for years and was offered in both metal (which I have) and plastic versions (lower cost).  I...

o10, thanks for the kind words.  It can be frustrating to read responses from folks who only seem to want to be argumentative, or at the least didn't bother to carefully read something posted before jumping in with inappropriate comments.frogman, ...

o10, if anyone responded to Caravan with this I apologize, I don't take the time to read everything here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDbgLJt50ssRegarding nicknames, I've always been amused but the "royalty" titles --King, Duke, Pres, Count, etc. 
Receiver help
Thanks all.  The speakers and CD player are resolved.  For a receiver she wants something new with a warranty and the inclusion of including WiFi streaming is a good idea.  It appears she will have a few good choices between Yamaha and Onkyo for u...

o10, I went back to listed to the track I posted and it sounded reasonably clean and about as good as other YouTube links I've listened to.  So no idea why what you heard was so poor.  Did you try any of the other links listed along the right of t...

Both "Mingus Dynasty" and "Ah Um" were from his brief contract period with Columbia, most likely why sidemen are the same.  Of course Danny Richmond stayed with Mingus for years regardless of other changes.

Thanks ghosthouse, I did check out Summers earlier.  I was not familiar with him.  I prefer Beck, but that could be due to familiarity.  I've had his album for many years.Any others here who didn't open that link, there are more versions of GPH to...

o10, here is a surprising version of "Goodbye Porkpie Hat".  Who would expect it from a rock guitarist?  There are a few others as well.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImxM4Rj5pOQThen, "Is Mingus volatile or what?".  Since you're a fan, and for an...

O10, if you might remember, the beginning of the Mingus "Haitian Fight Song" was featured in a TV commercial a few years ago.  I don't remember the product but it opened with an old man, then he was picked up by his grandson to go out on some adve... 
I wish I had a device that would delay lowering my TT arm
I'd rather see a video of the 23 year old in the French Maid costume. ;^) 
SP14/Don Sachs vs. Decware Zen Pre
No experience with the Decware but I have a Sachs mod SP-14.  Don can install appropriate caps to match the input for just about any amp.  Mine is set to match tube or most SS amps, unless unusually low impedance.  Also I find the cherry cabinet v... 
What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion?
bsimpson, in case you may still be following your thread.I've owned a pair of AtmaSphere monoblocs and spent time with a few different Joule Electras.  From that experience I can offer two considerations.First is the appropriate match with speaker...
