The damn never ending records of Jackie Mac...

Not my cup of tea either, but nevertheless interesting.

I found quite interesting the perspective of this study. Here's the link of stereophile article https://www.stereophile.com/content/bookmusic-review-excavated-shellac-alternate-history-worlds-music

Should I dust off my vinyl copy?

Yeah, someone should be sued for not having reissuing Demon's Dance.

Wow, really love this set! I mean everybody knows so much BG that is taken for granted, and often foregone or overlooked, but these sides are so beautiful, definitely my fave Goodman.

I was considering downsizing for several years, never found an integrated I like better then my rig, until now. And two power chords and two interconnects less in the cable jungle makes sense. It was a demo, so I got good money trading my stuff.

Major change in my front end, replaced the Linn Klimax power amps and Linn Kontrol preamp with this integrated: Hybrid, all the spec HERE I am downsizing, not downgrading.

Micromega produced always excellent digital stuff, was the other choice back then when I bought a California Audio Lab. As cds I played what I know and love best, so I guess I decided by heart, not by ears, not very audiophile I think.

I find Waldron's Prestige blowin' session exactly what they are for me: enjoyable blowin session, some better then other, but enjoyable nevertheless. I like the trio too. And agree about The Quest, a great record.

Got my japanese pressing of it from Tanno San.

Same here.

Nowadays I listen only cds from pre magnetic tape era, Ellington, Holiday, Lester, ecc. I think this stuff benefit from modern digital remastering, other then that I spin only records, so I don't think I really need a state of the art cd player for that. And the guys at Linn su**, so you may knock them, I lend you the cudgel

I thought my last CD player was the linn cd12 I bought 20 years ago but after I discovered replacement parts aren’t available anymore my next “last CD player “ will be an entry level of Rega or Naim, my last one and cheapest one. No way I spend big money on digital anymore.

I was sarcastic sorry if I didn’t get the tone

I think I returned less then 10 records in the last forty five years, guess I am less critical then you

Sweet surrender.

Everybody deserve dozens of Monk live albums. Mandatory.

And no cats and dogs around...
