I think I was victim of a misconception for many years: upgrading means bigger and fuller range speakers, most powerful amps, etc. in the years I understood that what iI am looking for is the Pleasure of listening without fatigue not the “truth“ of sound

I think hifi is a system, like a car, that includes the room where it sounds. Consider one element alone world be like consider only engine or brakes or dumper to judge a car. Testing a single element is okay but it will not tell you exactly how it will sounds in your room hooked with your amp, speakers,etc. likewise the results of an engine on test bench will not tell you how it will works a car drives by you on a common road. I am enough lucky to test gears in my system and often results surprised me.

I didn't listen to it, but on the Mosaic box set there's no clue about problems in this session's tapes, though they underlined problems in other two sessions in the booklet.

I've seen things you hoffmanites wouldn't believe. Warped Prestiges on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Van Gelder Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Does it mean that Anton Webern didn't need the common baton to lead the orchestra? Sorry I couldn't resist

Mono, one of my favourite Trane's classic quartet's record.

Mono.

You can use it like a weapon to hunt wild animals, mono BN in plastylite can be more deadly then a boomerang.

Mono.

Mono, first pressing.

unknown german pressing, but a great sound, as usual with germans.

mono.

Blue label.

But you'll meet marvellous women

At last I'm spinning Rendell/Carr' records, now:

Marital issue a part, I feel the same.

This is partially true, the medium price is around 24 € if I could find a seller in EU with all of them I could spare shipping cost, otherwise a single LP with shipping raise at 30 €. or more. I just saw that most of them are again available at Jazzmen site, thanks, I'll grab them now. Done!

A friend gave me away the Columbia Legacy box set, but it has two disc 2 and no disc 1, is there anybody who could send me a copy of the disc, I'll pay the shipping obviously.

HB, Chuck!

I was always much more fascinated by what "Shakespeare" wrote rather then who he/she/it was.

Sad, sad, sad news. Che la terra ti sia lieve.

There are lots of "hi end" streamers out there that can be controlled directly from on board screen or with apps on phones or pads, I even listened at them in "my" hifi shop and some of them sounds good. As someone noted before, I grown up with records, music and hifi magazines and collecting records and upgrade hifi rig is part of the fun, as well as hunting records, both online or in real shops. Actually I even own too much music, so music streaming doesn't appeal me. Anyway I recognized that it can be useful for a lot of reasons. I think the same about books and ebooks.
