The Poll Winners Ride Again!

Have you heard this?  

I'm a vinyl guy listening to it through digital (Doge 7 DAC), Klipsch Forte III and a Primaluna Dialogue HP.

Good lord this is tasty stuff!

My jaw is on the floor learning this was recorded in 1958.  This is a SUPERB recording.  Dynamics and realism are incredible.  The lack of hiss and distortion are hard to find.

It’s killer. I’m glad someone else can discover it. I have heard so much and I’m embarrassed to have missed this all these years.  I’m glad though because I feel like I’ve conquered that era I’m jazz.  The golden age of jazz is golden!

Consider the better discrete r-2-r Dacs, then, and think about one of those in conjunction with a tube preamp.
the R2R dac(s) make a big difference in the direction that vynil folks would like to hear.

I’m pretty set with my tube DAC. It sounds glorious and the Doge 7 beats many I’ve heard.

Thanks for the nice recommendation.  I gave it a listen tonight.  I really need to listen to Barney Kessel a bit more...I always forget about him.  Really excellent sonics as you point out.  This tracks are quite straightforward bop and not exactly a challenging listen but really perfect for certain evenings!
