@kren0006,Sorry this has taken so long to post. I have just completed a comparison between the DSD Jr and 851N. I purchased the DSD Jr last spring and have been doing comparisons since. I have been reluctant to sell the 851N because, for 1/3 th... 
Your Top Five Blues LPs, SQ-wise...
I'm not sure if released on vinyl, but both records by David Johansen and the Harry Smiths sound fantastic. These are two of my favorites.

Another vote for Folk Singer. An outstanding album and recording.  
Here is an interesting artist that's new to me, and I wanted to share his music.
I'm sure everyone has seen this, but if not, look up Ken Burns Jazz on Amazon prime. They spend a lot of time in NOLA, since it's the birthplace and all. Great history lesson on jazz, most of it from early on.https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/jazz/epis...

A few years back I went to the Louisiana Hot Sauce festival and one of the non-hot sauce vendors was selling a Louisiana Music Map poster.  The map shows 1600 Louisiana musicians with their name located on their birthplace. It's very cool. I picke... 
Looking for great jazz guitar recordings - any recommendations?
Friday Night in San Francisco with John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia. I really love this one. Some fantastic live playing indeed.

Although I haven't heard many say it,  MBL sounded the best to my ears. Just seemed right across all frequencies with zero harshness. I am sensitive to high frequencies due to tinnitus and I felt no affect. My biggest surprise was when I asked wha... 
Parasound service problems
I was listening to my HINT when all of a sudden poof. It sounded like it was unplugged. Not sure what happened but it was toast. Still under warranty so I called the dealer and had a brand new HINT within a week. Great customer service in my book. 
Song (or music) you want played at your funeral.
