And in the meantime, and back on topic ... as the prototype fuses continue their break-in process, the audio system continues to improve.
Last night’s listening session was spectacular. I was listening to some jazz played on a Hammond B3 Organ. Incredible tubey midrange in a very good way.
Another LP I played last night was a gift from Mister Golden Ears ... a Japanese import of a guitarist playing Japanese folk music in the style of a Koto. It was fantastic and in the room. I find the unique rhythm patterns of Japanese music played on Kotos to be beautifully fascinating. I can’t tell you anything about the album because the cover and liner notes are all in Japanese, and I don’t speak the language.
So, that led me to take out the Bud Shank/Koto album. It was the best I’ve ever heard this album sound. Lots of air and three-dimensionality. It was as though the Koto player was sitting just behind and to the left of the left speaker. Superb playing by both Bud Shank on flute and by Kimio Eto the Koto player.

PS: I listened until 1:30 in the morning, and believe it or not, nothing caught on fire. :-)
