@calvinj I bear no disrespect. I’ve been a Jazz fan for nearly 50 years; it’s a topic that interests me very much. I was simply attempting to garner a clearer impression of what you mean by "lesser known".

BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard?
@calvinj  "Little known" is pretty subjective...   you mean, to the general public? To most Jazz fans? To most audiophiles? How are you defining this?  @wharfy  If the Counce release qualifies, then  is "Hear Ye Hear Ye" by Red Mitchell Harold ...

@pjw81563  Kenny Garrett and Vincent Herring. I have seen both live numerous times. Lucky you!   Thanks for suggesting the Live at the Iridium release!   "Beyond the Wall" is another favorite of mine.

@mahgister I’m not a horn player, so cannot comment on who’s "best". 😊 However, I know who I like! Four of my favorites: in order, Kenny Garrett, Vincent Herring, Art Pepper, Jackie McLean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdF-iNLw2WY&list... 
Maybe the Journey is Over?........Well......
@baclagg  You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback on the QStab.  I have heard the same thing from others.  Not sure it would be worth the expense, in my case.

@baclagg RE: replacing H390 with 590. You don’t mention a DAC so I assume you’re using the 390’s on-board DAC, which is somewhat on the lean side. I’m not familiar with your speakers. I also own an H390 and Jay’s CDT2MKII. Both my Silverline m... 
Getting into the music
@rvpiano "As a former musician, this would have been unthinkable years ago. Music was everything to me." Not good! Let’s hope some forum members can suggest possible ways to restore the simple joy of listening. Have you been at this long enoug...

@alexatpos As I have expand my collection with years, the albums that I wish to buy are becoming less frequent, but more difficult to find and more expensive...I know, I know, but I just do not care about digital content... I’m in the same si...

@acman3  I checked out several highly rated Shipp recordings. He's too outside for my tastes but those who enjoy the likes of Cecil Taylor and Horace Tapscott will no doubt  enjoy him.   When I'm in the mood for something dark and moody, my go-t... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
@tattooedtrackman Why not simply try a Lokius first and hear for yourself?????? I’ve yet to read a comment by anyone who’s upgraded from a Loki or Lokius to Loki Max for reasons of SQ. So far, the reasons given have always been associated with ... 
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
@asctim  Thanks -- always nice to know there are similar minded folks out there.       
Audiophiles, Music, and Equipment: Can We Be Both "Conservative" AND "Progressive"?
@waytoomuchstuff  My hope that this would be interpreted as originating from a good place and possibly find some common ground. I'd like to clarify that, IMHO, the above is an entirely admirable goal. The number of similar threads that have de...
