List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings
  Mahgister Tom Harrell is interesting and way less known..or Avishai Cohen at the trumpet Avishai Cohen s++ks.  Does not (will not) play two notes back to back in tune/key.  At  least the recordings I have.  I appreciate that style but can onl... 
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
Update 7/1/2023 I’ve decided to try the LRS+ just to get the feel of a planer speaker and see/hear what will do in my room. Contacted TMR and they had a set in stock. By the time I got back them to order, that set was sold. Now 4-6 week wait for ... 
Magnapan LRS+ VS .7
Well it seems we/I have a conundrum! First, thanks to All that have replied.  The LRS+ waiting time is some months and I'm the type that when I decide to buy it, I WANT IT!  No matter.  From what I've read and the responses here, getting the best... 
Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade
I'm holding off a bit.  A few weeks ago I opened it up to get the pic of that chip and there is "stuff" on it.  Whitish smudge of something, almost covering the number.  Did not expect that on a piece of audio equipment at this level.  Sent both V... 
Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade?

Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!
"Nowadays I might read or listen them now and then, but strictly for entertainment purposes only." Yup!  That's why I read these posts every night. ;) Actually there is a serious point being made here.  I read and see often the listening rooms y... 
What's up with lousy bass on classic rock recordings?
Back in the day, when rock was just rock, not "Classic" rock, I had no problems with bass.  Had those huge Cerwin Vega speakers with 15" woofs(bright orange surrounds) and horn tweeters.  My university dorm mates sure heard bass.😋 Lawrence From MI  
Synergistic Research Master Fuse £565
I just purchased their "Purple" fuse for my REGA Aethos. It made a noticeable improvement.  You All can debate whatever you want.  I've been doing this for over 50 years. Lawrence From MI  
Expensive Dac to keep or cheaper and change overtime
Upgrade from an A22?😕   I guess I'm in a different level of "Audiophile".  
SPDIF Coax cable recommendation?
Look at Triode Wire Labs.  I recently purchased a RCA set for DAC out to my amp..  I could not be happier.  He has a COAX length less than 1 meter and they are very flexible.  About your price max..   I went through the Morrow Audio thing.  Spent... 
Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?
Hey All, Ordered and been using Triode Wire Labs RCA interconnect for some days now. I'm impressed!  Noticed a difference immediately.  (was using CHORD Clearway)   First time that changing just an interconnect made such a difference.  The only ... 
Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?
decooney "With the crossover mods and part changes, why do you believe you caused a bump in db in 4-5k range?" I used a simple app on my iphone and a test cd. Probably not very accurate.

Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?
I ordered the Triode RCA set today.  If not happy I'll just send them back. I know the cable is not the first step to improve sound in my case but I'm making this a Xmas present for myself!😉  
Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?
Thanks All.  An interesting mix of suggestions. My home is literally 20' x 20'.  I call it my "little cottage".  Seven foot ceiling and no basement.  Therefore, my living room(10x12) is my listening room.  Speakers on each side of TV and very lit...
