I'm old and slow so take that into account but I think they have the whole enchilada.  Here's as assignment for you.  Order the dvd from Amazon:

and report back.  Don't miss the very first review.

This is one of the great aspects of AC.  With Gavin's suggestion, I went for that video, and what a pleasure it was to enjoy this Sunday morning with my coffee and cake.  Those session musicians comments were very interesting, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, what a drummer!
Thanks, Gavin!!!
Now, I'll have to buy another one for a gift to an old friend!

Glad I could be of service Lyndon.  To expand on your AC comment, this circle and other forums not only provide camaraderie but valuable guidance regarding eqpt. and music purchases.  I have discovered lots of music through forum visits and have benefited many times from owner reviews of various equipment.  Right now I am auditioning a new MAC preamp here in my listening room and through several forum PMs have been able to really "zero in" on the purchase.  Of course the VSA circle has by far the most accomplished audiophiles and just all-around good guys.
