Gordy and I had a great time listening to my system a couple weekends ago, time flys. He brought along the traveling Altmann DAC which we paired with my OPPO HD970 through a VH Audio coax digital cable. The Altmann DAC is everything that's been claimed, a rich, full analog like presentation on all the CD's we listened to.

Tonally, the Altmann was very similiar to my APL modified Pioneer 563A, but a bit more fuller sounding. The soundstage was also deeper and a bit wider, with better separation of individual instruments on large orchestral pieces of music.

I'd say the APL modded Pioneer gets me 90% of the Altmann DAC, which suits me just fine

I'VE PUT THIS ON THE ALTMANN DAC REVIEW THREAD!!!

Gordy may also want to chime in with his observations.

A decade ago ENJA president Matthias Winckelmann compiled the first "Ballads" album which is a classic today. At that time nobody could foresee the huge international success of the "Ballads" series that sold far more than 100,000 copies worldwide. The new volume, the fifth in the series, appropriately includes an astonishing version of "Take Five", one of the most legendary jazz standards, named for its unusual five-four measure. "Ballads 5 - Take Five" focus on brand new and upcoming releases by such as Trio Elf, veteran trumpeter Dusko Goykovich, singer Céline Rudolph, pianist Florian Weber's Trio Minsarah and even Frank Tusa's "Father Time" band of 1975 that was just made available on CD for the first time. The CD program's encore offers the undisputed father of the jazz ballad, Coleman Hawkins, in a historic 1966 recording of his best-known ballad vehicle, "Body And Soul".

Hey!

Morcheeba "Who Can You Trust?" Their first album. Very trippy. To me is a classic trip-hop album. And one of the quintessential trip-hop album.

Their second album. A bit less trippy but still excellent. Love the cover. One of my favorite album cover of all time. See the classic stereo console in the back? Man! Would love to come to something like that... turntable spinning, drinks ready on the table and with a pretty redhead waiting for me aa

Take care,
Buddy

Been listening to my Jazz collection lately, esp. Coltrane.

John Coltrane, A Love Supreme

John Coltrane, Blue Train

John Coltrane, Giant Steps

Coltrane brings me around too. I have been stocking up on McCoy Tyner as well. He is a genius. Haven't heard a bad piece from him yet. Jazz's finest hour IMO.

Right Now " the Earth Wants You" Mose Allison.

Love the Coltrane stuff. Very cool

But right now I'm listening to my favorite band:
