Someone (Randy) will be by soon to remind us of them rules. No selling. No de-railing threads. No having fun like we used to in our teen days.

Couldn't remember where I saw the reference to Hanne Boel, but caught it again here. Great recommendation Kodiak, thanks! It's in the same vein as Beth Hart, who I like a lot; and a distant similarity to Ana Popovic, who I love.

Right on Cork! Glad you like it! Nice to know folks get enjoyment and share similar tastes. That album “out takes” ( hanne boel ) is recorded so amazingly well. It’s just incredible.

I’ll be sure to check out the ones you recommended too. Looking forward to it. Cheers.

Cork!! Beth Hart is fantastic!! Been meaning to tell you I love it. Thankyou for that recommendation. She’s become a real go to choice when I’m waffling on what to play. Beth and Hanne Boel are played a lot around here. Cheers!

Although this is a well known song I kinda forgot about it…
The depth of the soundstage is probably the deepest I’ve ever heard on my m60ti. It’s a great recording.

Dire Straits - Ride Across the River

Here’s a great track I found by accident.

Metropole Orkest…Jazz Infusion Orchestral. ( I just made that up for a genre…!). Check it out.

I have no idea who or what the group is really. It’s a live recording I believe. It’s superb. The BLAAAT of the horns is insane! The kick drum is surreal. And it’s super dynamic. Wow. There’s a ton of music and playlist with this orchestra. Enjoy.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Give this a listen. Absolutely outstanding LIVE recording.

Larry Carlton- Live in Paris.

The bass is full and robust. The kick drums are mic’d so well it’s palpable. I was truly gobsmacked. The best my system has sounded in my new giant room. ( it can still be a lot better for sure , I haven’t done a thing yet to treat it other than working on speaker placement and listening position )

Anyway, for those of you with dialled in rooms and end game systems give it a go. Spectacular. ( I’m talking to you 2x6! Give those Sabrinas a workout!!).

Enjoying a little Greta Van Fleet on Vinyl tonight, own all their albums!

Hi Kodiak

I'm going to get me one! I'll report back.

Kenny Burrell, Midnight Blue, Blue Note's new vinyl 33 1/3 release. Sounds great. Mellow. Can't do frantic jazz.

So, the BAT monoblocks are back in Delaware for an upgrade to VK56SE trim. I'm driving the Wilson Sabrina X's with my old, but recapped, legendary Yamaha M80, the gentle beast. Not tubes, but sure sounds pretty good. Definitely has a good handle on the Sabrina's bass output. The EAR 88pb phono stage has 4 Matsushita National 6922 tubes, and I upgraded the 6922s in the BAT VK33 preamp to Russian 6N-23EV tubes. They all play very nicely with the solid state Yamaha power amp.
