| I installed a new Nagaoka MP-700 “…almost making the Decca sound slow”. Now, THAT really piqued my interest. Quite a feat. Sounds like one to go on the want list. Thanks for a very nice review. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Glad you enjoyed those, @curiousjim. Byars is a terrific player and composer. As much as I love Coltrane and some of his many disciples, I always find it refreshing when a “younger” tenor player doesn’t have a blatant post-Coltrane approach a... | |
