When You Buy The Whole Album And Only Like One Song.
@larsman Yes, indeed. . . my wife and I enjoyed some wonderful evenings, there. They still offer Jazz occasionally, but rarely anyone we're willing to drive 2 hours+ to see.       
Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good?
@mapman  +1 Sometimes it's the shortest posts that make the most sense !

@wolf_garcia  "Jazz is about as popular as Polka and children's music...maybe less popular, but a treasure for those of us who like it...and I like it a lot." 👍 Mitch Mitchell has always been my favorite Rock drummer precisely because of his st... 
Selling gear with TMR
I've found TMR to be very professional and pleasant to deal with, whether buying or selling.

@artemus_5  "Because of my curiosity, this sparks my question of whether the OP (and others) are listening to it because it is the "in thing" to do. Or do they truly like it. If the later, then great. You seem to fit that group." Curiosity is go...

@artemus_5  "I have no problem with what other's like to listen. For me, it just doesn't move me" Sorry if I somehow gave you the impression that I perceived you as having a problem with what others listen to. That actually never crossed my mind...

@artemus_5 My wife and I used to drive to Oakland to hear live Jazz and most of the audiences were comprised of old white guys, some with female companions. That club was one of the finest venues for live Jazz in the country and now, very rarely ... 
Wha'choo lookin' at?

@russ69   "I buy full albums but I'm old school and don't stream".  You're not alone, brother.  I too only buy "full albums"-- CDs in my case-- and then, only if I like every (or very nearly every) song.  I grew up in the 60's/70's when an albu...

New In 2022
It sounds like, from what Dave L. says in his introductory video, that they plan to re-release only five shows on CD, including 5/26 Lyceum. Vinyl fans, it seems, will be more generously catered to, in this regard. Drat!

J.A.; are the Dead re-releasing all of the shows from the '72 Europe tour?    
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
OK. Thanks. I was just curious-- I have no reason to get rid of my Aqua.  BTW, I wish all audio reviewers emulated your approach!   
Review: Holo May (L2) DAC and the Musetec Audio (LKS Audio) MH-DA005 DAC Compaired
@dbb Any chance  you can recommend a US made DAC with sonics similar to the May?
