Best Source For Jazz CDs?
Since I will be assembling a serious audio system in the near future, it's time to abandon the iTunes downloads & start rebuilding my CD collection. Is there a particularly good source for high-quality jazz & other CDs? In the past I have purchased CDs from BMG admittedly because they were relatively inexpensive. But now I am primarily concerned with quality. Thank you.

Welcome to The Guide, kitjv!
One of our great members "wkhanna" who contributes a lot of good info, was really impressed with the offerings from "Mapleshade". You might want to give their website a visit. I have yet to try them but, I plan to.
I do own a few from "Telarc". The sound quality of the disc I have are top notch. I can hear every breath, lip smack, fret move, you name it. As well as, good soundstage and dynamics."I have come here, to chew bubblegum and kickass. And I'm all out of bubblegum!!!" -
Thank you, John. I appreciate it. :PComment

I am seriously considering purchasing a power strip from Mapleshade Audio. Does anyone have any feedback about using these? The only other strip I considered was the PS Audio Juice Bar. Of course, Mapleshade's lit will tell you that their product "smokes" the Juicebar but I was hoping for... -
Today I picked up a few Wes Montgomery cds. For those of you dont know, Wes Montgomery is a phenomenal jazz guitarist from the 1960's.
Even though the recording is not that great, i could not believe how great the music sounded through my 804S. Cymbals sounded perfect, their notes...
