Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Hello Bill (Brownsfan ),
It's so good to hear from you. Labtec implied posters here care more about fuses than music listening and that is the antithesis of my observation. As you astutely noted the tweaks are simply a means to increasing our music listening enjoyment. Okay Bill you've convinced me to keep the music recommendations coming. 

These artists aren’t necessarily universally known but are nonetheless superb jazz musicians.

Pianist John Hicks, "Twogether" (correct spelling ). Features alto saxophonist Frank Morgan on a few cuts.

Pianist, Fred Hersch, "Dancing In The Dark "

Hammond B3 organist Joey DeFrancesco, "Somewhere In The Night " Live recording and features Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone.

Guitarist Doug Raney, "The Backbeat " features DeFrancesco on the organ.

These are very good jazz recordings.
Charles,

Hello nyame,
I am a jazz nut but in terms of classical music I find that I’m drawn to Cello and piano (I really like Mstislav Rostropovich as an example). The emotion of his playing saturates my room.  Thanks for the recommendation.
Charles,

Charles ... you are always the gentleman in these discussions. David too. Its much appreciated by me, that's for sure.

This thread has become much more than just about fuses.  Its morphed into suggestions about other tweaks, good music ... and above all else, mutual friendship among people who are music lovers first and equipment geeks a very distant second. 

With the HFT room treatments, my mono records are sounding better than ever before. I've been digging through the archives and pulling out Benny Goodman, Tony Scott, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman and Pete Fountain.  Some of these are really old, but in great shape. Some are on the old Brunswick Bakelite records instead of vinyl.  They really do sound great. 

What I really like about these old recordings is that they have that vintage sound like we hear in the old black & white movies of the 30's and 40's. Its nostalgia time for me, as my Mom used to take me to these movies when I was a kid.  In fact, she's the one who instilled the love of music in me. Good literature too. This is why I find David's stories about his mother so inspiring. My mom would be 102 this year. 

Hopefully, the "If you can't measure it, you can't hear it" guys will get a clue and join in on the fun being had here in this thread. This thread, in my opinion, is about the human aspect of this hobby.

Now, for a little more Woody Herman ...
