Wishing all a blessed and safe Holiday season! Just had to share a recording that I thought sounded fantastic. "Todo O Sentimento" with Elizeth Cardoso & Raphael Rabello. Although downloaded from iTunes (44.1kHz) the performance and sound quality are wonderful.

If you like Christian McBride try his new recording "For Jimmy, Wes and Oliver". Really nice.

LL21, Actually it is not the SACD. CD version Blue Note Rudy Van Gelder but I will look out for the Analog Production SACD. Thanks.

Just finished listening to 2CD set of Stanley Turrentine "Up At Minton's". Wonderful performance and great sonics even though it was recorded live in 1961!!! Really captures the venue as well. Just close your eyes and your transported back! Stanley Turrentine on sax, Grant Green on...

Email Andreas at Playback Designs.com. He is very helpful.

After emailing ARC I was assured by Greg Christensen that Audio Research will indeed support it’s customers and he is optimistic for the future of the company going forward.

My wife and I enjoyed Ozark. A little far fetched but thoroughly entertaining. The actress Julia Garner (Ruth) also has a supporting role in "Dirty John" on Netflix which we found interesting and definitely worth a watch.

Steve, Please check your paypal acct. All the best. Vito

I figured there was a synergy with the Extreme. If your anything like me I assuming you have quite a collection of SACD discs. Are you somehow ripping the SACD layer of these discs onto the Extreme? If so what would be the optimal method of doing so? All...

Could you elaborate on the improvements that you are now hearing with the Lampi DAC compared with the Playback Designs MPS-5? I've considered the PD MPS-8 but perhaps I should explore the Lampi products. Enjoy what is no doubt an awesome system!

Steve, Congrats on all your new equipment! I was wondering if your still using your PD MPS-5 for SACD / CD playback? If not are you considering another transport? If yes are you bypassing the dac in the PD and using the Lampizator? Happy listening and stay safe...

Puglia not Pulgliao_O

My family and I were in Italy on vacation last August. One of the wonderful areas we visited was the city of Matera in the Pulglia region. They were filming ”No time to die” in this intriguing city. Fascinating to watch the production crew at work.

I enjoy and routinely use high rez formats (DSD, SACD etc...) but this recording is plain old 44.1 kz/16 bits and sounds excellent. BTW the correct catalog # is 5276382.

Catalog #. 1575-80

Recently acquired the six disc CD set of Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note. Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and John DeJohnette recorded in 1994. Wonderful jazz selections and sonics are fantastic. ECM Recordings. Fantastic!

I've installed 4 Centerstage II isolation footers under my Playback Designs MPS-5 about a week ago. I do hear subtle improvements. Thank you Steve for your advice! Also I traded in my ARC Ref 5SE for a Ref 6 preamp. With only 2 days break in I'm thrilled and looking forward to Ref 6 being...

Thanks for all kind replies. I’ve decided to have my current amplifiers recapped and updated. Honestly I could not part with the Levinson's for what I was to offered towards a trade. But more importantly I love how they sound with my setup. I’ll enjoy them even though if they weigh a...
