| Aurender Music Server and CD Transport comparison @blakcloud - If you search "CEC Tl-2X" on hifishark, you will find one listed on another audiomart site (I am not the seller). | |
| Newer Blues Artists or Recordings @mitch2 Great thread topic! Thanks for posting. I’ve listened to the blues on and off for 50 years (yes, I’m old). After the passing of the greats-Muddy Waters, et al, I stopped listening for a bit. In the last couple of years I’ve started liste... | |

| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf -"So are tou saying the Denon PMA-A110 is in the same ball park as the Hegel H80?" @blackbag20 -"I’d poke around on The Music Room ... it has a Hegel H80 in your budget." If soundstage and resolution are at the top of your list, the Hege... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "The Arcam sounds good I just want something more robust and with a more realistic and holographic sound if that makes sense." Yes. The Denon will be more robust, for sure. And yes, the design is pretty awesome and great to look at. WR... | |
| Arcam SA30 vs Denon PMA- A110 @edwinf - "Would you say it is superior to the Arcam?" Depends what you are looking for--I had an Arcam amp and remember it leaning towards a darker British sound--warm, very musical and "polite." It worked great with a pair of Dahlquist reissue... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Here is one more Bill Evans influenced pianist, for anyone interested. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister -Totally agree! Tangential observation- NHOP has been the bass accompanist for Bill Evans. @jdougs -Agree about Steeplechase. Many of Dexter Gordon's best albums are on the Steeplechase label. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @jdougs -Thanks for the recommendation. Doing some research I saw Kenny Drew is accompanied by Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass and Albert 'Tootie' Heath on drums. I have a terrific CD by Tete Montoliou, Tete-A-Tete, with NHOP and Tootie. ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Good Morning Everyone! Thanks for posting Kenny Drew. He's a piano player on a number of records I own. Until this thread, I wasn't familiar with his work as a band leader. Wow! A specific, sorta-related thread question about Japanese re-issues.... | |
| Integrateds: Luxman vs. Ayre? The Ayre "house-sound" is neutral to the point that some people think it's "dry/analytic." | |
| Jazz for aficionados @mahgister-Close enough, for sure. Stephane Wrembel tours extensively. Every year he hosts a "Django-fest" in the NYC area. You may recognize the song from Woody Allen's, "Midnight in Paris." |
