Star Trek Strange New Worlds. I'm a hopeless Trekker from way back, but I haven't loved the most recent iterations until this one.

👍👍

I'm now into disc 6 of the set. The most pleasant surprise for me has been the slow and pretty stuff. I never thought of Sanders as a ballad player, and I've especially enjoyed discovering that, especially on discs 5 and (so far) six. I'm less enthused about the fast things, especially when he starts what Mark calls (in what I agree with others are some very fine notes) "caterwauling in the stratosphere." But even there, he comes down to earth more often than he used to in the old Impulse days, and I especially enjoy John Hicks' piano. So, while I'm not over the moon like others, I think it was a worthwhile buy. Thanks to Lon and others for encouraging me to get it!

Anyone else use DiscSox sleeves to store their CD's? After using them for DVDs and blu-rays for years, I'm slowly converting my CD collection to them after previously using the Jazz Loft-style sleeves. The one issue I have is how to use the empty space at the top of the sleeve. This space is there to allow for a paper insert containing information about the disc (artist, title, year of release, year of reissue, etc). I would like to be able to use this space for an insert containing this type of info, because it would make flipping through a large collection much easier, but...I'm at a loss as to how to go about printing this information on paper. DiscSox offer a template on their website, but it's pretty basic. Is there a way to use something like MS Word, or some other software, to design a custom template better suited to my needs? Anyone with experience with this sort of thing? Any advice is appreciated!

Nice Cover BTW.

Well it seems to be true ... fun fact: Tolle's extension (or release point) is as close to the batter as Aroldis Chapman. Can understand how it helps generate swing and miss.

Those Pure Audio Project speakers look amazing. I would certainly have them on the short-list of a future speaker purchase if I had the room to accommodate them. Don't open baffle speakers need a bit of room to breathe?

@mjzee Rich Perry: An unsung giant of contemporary tenor sax! Urgently recommended: "Mood" quartet set with the great Harold Danko on piano and "Nocturne" another quartet recording but this time with guitarist Nate Radley. Live: "At the Kitano" (Three Volumes)

Enjoy the new gear, Stefan!

And I took the final plunge. Ordered Pure Audio Project Trios with horns. I've heard them. It satisfies all the things I have been listening for in speakers.
