"Helen Sings, Teddy Swings" Helen Merrill with Teddy Wilson, Coalition LP

Excellent choice, although Mrs. Merrill deserves nicer-looking album covers. This is the Japanese original:

Anyway, just picked up the above LP by Roland Hanna and George Mraz - ROMANESQUE . It's probably very good.

Yes, it's an excellent LP.  Really, I think all of the Hanna-Mraz duo collaborations are special. 

Bummer about the blown fuses. :(

Turns out both 2.5 amp tweeter fuses are blown. I recently played a test cd with pink noise, I don't know if that's what did it. I cranked it up all the way, hoping I could hear at 12kHz. :D I hope it's just the fuses.

2.5 Amps through your tweeters' voice coils is a lot of current. I would not be surprised to hear that both tweeters are damaged. The fact that both tweeters' fuses blew is a very bad sign.

We are back in action. 

It IS a very nice, very well-recorded session. And more adventurous than just the “jazzy” versions of the popular classical pieces.

Knock on wood, we are running strong again. I was afraid the teeeters would be blown, but all is well. I don’t know what caused it still, the only thing I can think of is that pink noise test cd. I must’ve cranked it up to Too high. 

My beef now is with the availability of such mundane things as 2.5 amp fuses. Since the Radio Shack is gone, there’s no place to buy minor electronic parts other than the automotive stores and the giant home centers. Naturally, they don’t carry the 2.5 amp fuses, so I installed a 2 amp one, just to see if the tweeters were kaput.

I miss the Rat Shack. We used to take it for granted.

Surprised that they weren’t vapourised.. :o

Radio Shack pretty well disappeared over here too. The local equivalent, Maplin, went bust last year. Very expensive but useful source of electronic parts in an emergency.
