He can be sublime...he can also be pretentious. I have a love hate thing with his music. His Amereican Quartet from the 70's, with Dewey Redman, is some great music to check out. I once saw him in concert, at the Village Vanguard, if I'm not mistaken. He opened the piano, played some notes. The tourists in the audience were talking, as they do. He stopped playing. It got a bit quieter, and he started playing again. The tourists started talking again. He closed the piano, got up, end of set. I've always held that a bit against him (though I can't stand the noisy audiences at some jazz venues myself). Anyway, glad you liked, I'll listen at home to the above, hard at work.

Actually, do have the Koln Concert on LP at home, will fire up the turntable and play it again!

If I paid money to see him, then I'd be pretty annoyed!

SRH1540. I posted a picture, get with the program!

picture was on the previous page with no commentary. I have and enjoy the 1540 headphones also,
nice build quality and slick sound, bass emphasis.  somewhat artificial gestalt of sound, not rally musical
but enjoyable and entertaining. a unique phone for sure, and worthy of listening to or collecting.
I find the HFM 400Is much more detailed and musical, and the ol" sent 650s properly amped and dac fed
to be a reference phone that reveals more of the structure of the music., especially with an upgrade
Cards cable. the classic ath W1000 are my favorite phones
for rock and melodic music, especially through powerful  solidstate amp or MicroZotl tube amp.
1540s will be around for a long time  me thinks and are worthy audio gear!!!

Doing realize it until now, but today is Duke Ellington's birthday! Just heard Cottontail on WKCR. They are playing Duke's music all day, and stream the music, of course (wkcr.org). If you want to "discover" an American great, check it out.

Found a 2002 review about the original one here. Interesting...

 The MicroZOTL is a small amplifier, about the size of a typical shoebox, and weighs about four pounds.
