Diana Krall
Hifiman5,You made my day with your post about getting into Karen Souza.  Her music is in constant rotation in my system.  I lament the negative posts in response to the OP's perfectly honest question.  He digs her and simply wanted to share that a... 
Ayre QB-9...listening impressions
Mr M,That is just what the fellas at Ayre said.  Better than the QB-9 and a much lower price.  That is amazing.   
TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions?
I'd suggest you get a copy of "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" by Jerry Mander and you will have your solution.  But wait until the Winter Olympics have concluded!  :-)   Cheers.   
Diana Krall
I am a huge fan of DK, no question.  She has an evocative voice and such wonderful phasing... and she plays the piano at the same time.  I have all her recordings.  My pal loves Patty Barber and she is excellent, but to my ears, she is too analyti... 
Ayre QB-9...listening impressions
Gents,It is evidently mutual love for this DAC.  It is even easier to love the DAC when I acquired if for $550 delivered from a guy who "is going back to analogue" with a modest Rega table.   And I just sold my SOTA Sapphire vacuum TT and Dynavect... 
Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review
Way too small for the M1T as Clayton informed me that my room was too small for the M3T and my room is much larger that yours.

Thanks for all the feedback.  Whitestix 
Allow myself to introduce...myself
Hi,Welcome.  Cold Duck Time is one of my all-time favorite jazz recordings by Eddie Harris.  You have a nice audio rig, for sure.  I just parted with my SOTA TT after 32 years to an analogue lover.   My best modestly-price suggestion is to upgrade... 
Upgraded to Tidal today
Gdnrbob,My sense is that Tidal's jazz library is not as extensive as Spotify.   The difference in SQ between the two is profound.   
Upgraded to Tidal today
Kalili,I do have the HiFI subscription and stream it through my iMac.  I downloaded JR River, don't understand how to use it with Tidal.   Just downloaded Tidal's Music Center.   
Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer?
1X,Dueland wire is made by Dueland, who also makes the finest capacitors on earth.  It is sold in North America through Parts Connexion.  Supra wire, also very good wire, is sold through Madisound.  Both cables small in diameter and very flexible.... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Sorry for the double post... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
My serious recommendation would be the Spatial Audo X2 open baffle speakers for $9600.  I have their smaller M4 Triode Master speaker and love them.  The X2's are super efficient and go pretty much flat down to 20Hz.

Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer?
I absolutely second grannyring's recommendation with the Dueland cable.  Pick your terminations.   Fabulous wire for both IC's and for speaker cables.  The sound of the wire is so clean, clear, and extended that it surprises me that more folks lik...
