Here are a few movies I remember for their music:  McCabe and Mrs Miller  (Leonard Cohen music and Lyrics); Barry Lyndon (Stanley Kubrick Film), mix of Classical and Traditional Folk Music; The Emerald Forest (John Boorman), great drums, a bit unusual;  Blade Runner, Music by Vangelis, Great...

Another record from  the LP era, Ambassador Satch (European Concert Recordings) Mono. This is on Columbia and my copy is an early 6 eye pressing. Good full standing image of Armstrong in formal clothing with suit case in one  hand  and his horn tucked under his arm. Has some early standards...

What an eye opening thread! Really don't  have anything to add that hasn't already been mentioned. Looks like I'll have hours of pleasurable searching in the near future.  Thanks

I been trying to hear music that's new to me. The musicians may have been around for a few years but don't seem to be very well known. I check out sites on You Tube to find this type music. I find places like Musicfog is good for Folk, Folk-Rock. I have spent a lot of time with NPR Radio's Tiny...

Thanks for the correction from Henry Flower. Not sure why I got that information wrong.Yes, Stephane Grappelli is a Jazz violinist. I found in my collection another LP of his: Stephane Grappelli Plays Jerome Kern.

I'm having the same problem trying to decide on a new DAC. I've looked at the ads for Halide Design DAC HD which is slated to be released this month. Its a 24 bit 96 khz design. Its old name is Devilsound USB DAC and has gotten good reviews for the most part. I believe its made here in America...

Tomy Thong has given you a good breakdown on the differences in the three 12ax7 family of tubes. Still, you would need to listen to the different tubes in a particular circuit to tell which one you may like the best. Sometimes the speakers will like one particular tube best. I bought some used...

I listen to both singer/ songwriters. Seems I like Neil's voice best but I sure like Dylan's song writing skills. Dylan is still writing songs even at a fairly old age which is a plus for him.

I would like to throw in the great jazz guitarist Stephane Grappelli. An old timer born in 1908. He recorded on a variety of labels.Try Atlantic recording corporation for a starter. I have an LP but I'm sure there are also some CD's out there.

Off the top:   (Older Pop)-- Jennifer Warnes, Allison Crow, Jone Michell ------   (Older Folk)---Joan Baez, Gillian Welch,Emmylou Harrison----(Older Jazz)--Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Etta James-----(Current Folk, Rock, Bluegrass)---Sarah Jarosz, Amy LaVere, Mary Chapen Carpenter. (Older...

Pink Floyd or the Beatles: I suppose it has a lot to do with my mood. Like others, I tend to be in the mood for the Beatles most often.That's strange as I have more albums by Pink Floyd than the Beatles. Maybe I just like Pink Floyd's album jacket art better.

Check out a  musician named Elliot Carter. I like his Clarinet Concerto, Part 1 and 2. He may be still alive and working but I think of his period is the 1940's and 50's. Also a current quartet, by the name of Mosquito Creek, Improvisation # 1. I like to use You Tube to research new music then...

Here is another possibility: Sheffield Lab (LP) The Firebird & other works, Well worth the cost. Los Angles Philharmonic, Erich Leinsdorf conducting. LP=ASHEHQ  24  This recording may be out of print or may be  rereleased in the CD format.

Has any one though about the new Halide DAC HD 24bit--96khz that's due for release  this month as A  competitor to the Centrance DAC HD 24 bit --96khz. Both emphasis  the use of  USB hookup.

I've been listening to NPR Tiny Desktop Series Concerts on You Tube. Interesting new batch of music and video for my musical tastes.
