The last time I was in an airplane was when I was 12 years old. It was 12 years ago. Afterwards I got airport security phobia. I'm scared of police too.
Entering Turkey
I was in Turkey, Cesme. I stayed in a cheap hotel and outside the window there were construction workers and lot of dust. The hotel still had a swimming pool and I swimmed for hours.
Last Fall, without any thought, I purchased a Numark TT200 turntable to play my long unused collection of LPs. Too bad!.. but at least I am back to a hobby I thoroughly enjoy, without wasting too much coin. Stereophile and Absolute Sound show possibilities limited only by my wallet. I decided to move slowly and learn. I refurbished my 28 year old MA 6100 integrated amp, added a Cambridge Audio Azur 640 v. 2 CD player and a pair of Monitor Audio RS6 speakers. Not bad, but a budget system to be sure.
Here are my top 5 sax lovers albums. I am not going to include Coltrane because frankly I love all his work...and I won't include any "smooth jazz". I am also only including CD's that are up to par on both performance and sonics.
1. The complete Roost Sonny Stitt Recordings- 9CD's Mosaic Records. I believe that Sonny Stitt was a better sax player than a lot of people out there. While not into exploration as Coltrane was Mr Stitt plays with a fire that is hard swing. His blues are excellent and his boxed CD set is a great way to get into one of the best sax players ever.
Some magazines seem to keep just the several brands over and over...this listing shows what a variety of STUFF is out there. http://www.audiodirectory.nl/ 
Hey DUP,
Since you push product so much; wasn't there a review just beneath the "ten myths of audio" that "fried" AVA's player??
