BEST INTERCONNECT FOR $25 EACH?
I'm curious, why no BJC? 
your favorite 3 Duke Ellington albums?
I own and enjoy the Grusin disc (along with the companion homage to Bernstein), but are you serious!?  The OP's asking for recs on the BEST Duke Ellington recordings and you think the Grusin beats out work by the Duke himself!?  If yr not being sa... 
Is APower Conditioner For A Mostly Vintage System Worth Getting?
+1 on the Furman Elite 15i.  Just got a used one last month for $115 in as-new condition.  Nice piece of gear!  There's one on Ebay for $99 right now that I'm looking at for the bedroom system! 
Aretha Franklin RIP
Listening to Amazing Grace as I type.  S'funny, I've always equated this amazing record to Frank Sinatra's 'Live At The Sands' in that it's one of the truly rare recordings capturing an artist at the peak of their powers, in front of what can only... 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
Here's a tale from the old school/used side of the tracks.  Few weeks back I bought a Wadia 170i (10 yrs old) to use with a few ipods I own.  Hooked it up to an 18 yr old dac I had in the 'spares' closet.  I used a set of DH Labs IC from the dac t...

Been a huge Dave Weckl fan for decades!  Here's another tune from the same record; Convergence.  A different style of Funk, it's up to the listener to decide which is 'funkier'!;)https://youtu.be/BFcmxjz38SQ

….ok, here's just ONE more.  One of the most soulful collaborations this century is when Prince brought Maceo Parker (James Brown) and Larry Graham (Sly, Graham Central Station) into his band.  Fit like a hand in glove!  Larry released one record ...

….OK, I finally got around to listening to Vulfpeck, thx to the last poster.  Wow, I couldn't make it through more than a minute of any of those 4 videos!  They sound like a high school band playing what they think passes for Funk.  Sorry, but I w...

I just discovered this band YESTERDAY!  They been around for yrs but I never heard of them.  Here's the thing, while we all love the Funk and the bands that play it, the truth is the Funk is just a part of what they do.  TOP, EW&F, you name th...

….for giggles you should check out bass virtuoso, and a true Fonk Monsta in his own right, Marcus Miller’s version of What Is Hip from his record; Marcus. It’s an amazing performance but it also slams the point home about what a groundbreaking bas...

Glad you enjoy Cleary's Go-Go Juice, when yr ready for more of the same, chk out Occapella!  As far as Santa Fe & FCH goes, I also felt The Answer to be uneven.  The one before that; When The Curtain Goes Up, is a better record IMO.  You can h...
