What is your most fond musical memory.
Freddie King in ’74 -- most intense live Blues I’ve witnessed. Cops set up a cage inside the Gym at UCR for "offenders". Richard Thompson -- most impressive display of guitar playing I’ve seen, overall, in renovated 18th century church in Portlan...

@pjw81563 I’m so envious of your access to live NYC Jazz! @mahgister Love Rene Thomas! Have you heard "Dynasty" by Stan Getz? @acman3 I enjoy Bernstein’s playing -- just wished he played with more dynamics. Interesting look at Wayne Short... 
Jay's "Ugly Truth" video
  @vitussl101 I couldn’t watch 60 seconds of this doofus. Yeah and in your knee-jerk rush to judge Jay, you managed to completely miss the point of this thread!  How does discounting someone without even bothering to consider what they have...

@curiousjim  you're welcome! @pjw81563  Thanks for the tenor suggestions.  Speaking of Belgian guitarists, here's a lovely trio including Philip Catherine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZlasiIvcjU        
What new gear have you just bought?
@wolf_garcia OK. Thanks. Maybe down the road but, based on your post, not a priority purchase for me at present.    
What new gear have you just bought?
@wolf_garcia  May I ask which features swayed you to go for the Max? I have a Lokius and as you know, there's quite a large price difference between the two.

Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@charles1dad Thanks! Acquiring the Jay’s initiated a learning curve involving a very high level of frustration stretching over several months but I once I managed to restore tonal balance (thanks to recommendations by forum members), I began to... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@wharfy Yes, but I’m not able to comment on that unit’s sound because I simply could not deal with its small dimensions -- I found it so impractical that I quickly reboxed it and sent it back to TMR. Therefore, I spent very little time listening... 
Resolving CD Transports Crowd Sourcing
@wharfy Two comments re: the Jay’s CDT2MKIII: 1) You can buy a spare drive from them if you’re concerned about longevity. 2) I found it a bit forward sounding in my system, with my existing IC’s and footers. Once I swapped them out, everything...
