@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...

@pjw81563 Daniel Humair: Cool Trading with Attila Zoller and Mike Formanek - YouTube Wow -- this is great!!!! Do you happen to know whether this group released any recordings?    
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?
Impossible.  Even with my favorite artists, I never enjoy all their recordings.  And no single artist is sufficiently multidimensional to satisfy me all the time.   I'm much more recording-focused than artist-focused.  For me, it would be much...
