20 miles through uncleared path. 40 miles round trip. I’d have to clear a path on the way there, so I could get back, presumably with boxes in my hands or a cart I build. Now that I have all the facts, I think I won’t make the trip. 
Jazz for someone who doesn't like jazz.
Some good advice here, but N80 I’ll go contrary to some of it. If you’re new to Jazz skip the Ken Burns series, at least for a while. The only thing you need to know from that whole series is the Wynton Marsalis quip about Jazz “it doesn’t come to...

I have a similar configuration—I stream WAV files from an external hard drive to my Bryston BDP, or, when I want a little different flavor, to an Oppo 105. I’ve wondered the exact same question: does the cable from the hard drive feeding into the ... 
Lyle Mays has passed away
