Whats playing on your system today?
Waltz for Debby - Bill Evans Trio  
How much is about the recording
I am there. Happy with the gear I have, in the context of my listening habits, living space and room limitations (that are many). Not a single gear expense in the last 6 months, just musical joy, which was all what was intended to start with
