Same here.

Nowadays I listen only cds from pre magnetic tape era, Ellington, Holiday, Lester, ecc. I think this stuff benefit from modern digital remastering, other then that I spin only records, so I don't think I really need a state of the art cd player for that. And the guys at Linn su**, so you may knock them, I lend you the cudgel

I thought my last CD player was the linn cd12 I bought 20 years ago but after I discovered replacement parts aren’t available anymore my next “last CD player “ will be an entry level of Rega or Naim, my last one and cheapest one. No way I spend big money on digital anymore.

I was sarcastic sorry if I didn’t get the tone

I think I returned less then 10 records in the last forty five years, guess I am less critical then you

Sweet surrender.

Everybody deserve dozens of Monk live albums. Mandatory.

And no cats and dogs around...

Absolutely agree!

Japan

Yeah or Liev Schreiber.

All VeeJay originals I have sound good, the mono better then stereo, IMHO. My first Monk record, bought as twoofer in the late seventies, Brilliance. edit: bought with Monk/Trane twoofer if memory serves me well.

Brian Cranston maybe

Which contemporary actor could play such score?

It could acquire a marvelous bittersweet taste if we hire an old Alan Ladd as main character

Mono.

Mono, great sound recording.

If you have all of them I wish you a very long retirement...

Definitely, every listening put a smile in my face
