Haha. Box for headphone cables, extra equipment feet. I suppose that UA could provide 'sleeving' for cables?...:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

That's one of my favorite Art Blakey albums. But the opening cut on Caravan is about the best speaker test track I can think of.

I didn't even notice that. I've been head over heals with his material lately. Along with Grant Green and Bobby Hutcherson.

The opening cut on Caravan is Caravan, one of Dizzy Gillespie's best oeuvres (besides Night in Tunisia). Incidentally, the AB+Jazz Messengers album Caravan was their first for the Riverside label owned by Orrin Keepnews (who recorded Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, and other jazz luminaries). You are right: Caravan tests many, if not all, parametres of music system performance.

+1 on Grant Green. I use the opening track of this as one of my standard test tracks:

Waiting for the Hydra.HUB to complete the stack. DSD512 are just for kicks.

Some nice looking Alpha Primes there!
They are indeed! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dogs and Primes are both built on the Fostex T50RP, right? Same as Zach's earlier Vibro's and Blackwoods?
