Jazz Noir suggestions

exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical)
Beth Hart      Exceptional singer and exceptional performance.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzFd0e5WanU                                                                    
Great music few are aware of. Any genre.
"World's End" by Andwella, solo guitar work by Dale Kavanaugh ," Music for Solo Guitar","Toccata in Blue", and 20th Century Variations.  Cristina Azuma's solo guitar cd "Contatos" is stunning.

PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea
Is the Tungsol thin sounding as some say? Does it have better and deeper bass than the WE396a. Also is the JTL-5670 the exact same tube as the Tungsol 2c51 Black plate d getter. Karmatogdral's discription of these tubes peaks my intrest. Thanks, T...
