Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
The Modern Jazz Quartet 'Pyramid' or 'the last concert', but just about all their stuff is good. I find they have some structure in their compositions and since you said you don't like disjointed; this may well be your cuppa..  The Dave Brubeck ... 
Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread
I’ll try reversing when everything breaks in (SDFB, Piggy Tail, graphene sluggo) If my prior experience with Graphene contact enhancer (PPT Perfect Path) is any guide, it takes 30 - 60 days for it to reach full potential, although a different ho...

Breaking in my new SDFB with Graphene sluggo. Would you break everything in before trying reversing the sluggo ? Or switch direction while it's still settling in, have about 5 hours on it so far. Many thanks.

Capital Audiofest Coming Up!
Planning on going Fri and Sat, my first audio show. Back in the day all my friends had great stereos and I got to listen to lots of different setups. Seems I'm the only one left standing so the show is my new window on stuff.

Time For a CD Player Upgrade
@mellowshifi I bought a 'factory reconditioned' new Hegel Mohician - right from the start, the CD tray would not load the CD, have to turn the unit off just as the drawer closes to get it to load. Then playback started skipping, have to hit forwa... 
Biwiring make any sense?
