Do you have a 4K TV yet?

We are still using the 55' Smart Samsung and the Blu-Ray player we got at Bjorn's in San Antonio in 2014. Our sound system is 5.1 system using vintage Infinity speakers.



Quality control issues are concerning, after reading the Amazon reviews. My friend Bob got a SONY 4K but he paid over $1000 for it. In fact, I'm getting rid of a lot of equipment - sold to the local Hi-Fi shop - vintage receivers, speakers, tape decks etc, including a rare $1000 1970 Sansui turntable.

(bad link BTW)

Currently we enjoy listening to cool jazz on the Yamaha using YouTube and Chromecast from my laptop. We also watch Netflix and Prime movies and shows. YMMV.

Yamaha AV receiver?? I have one of those but it was first generation ARC and I have to keep grabbing it's remote to force the ARC to work.? Long overdo for a new up-to-date receiver.? My first receiver was a Yamaha (bundled with Klipsch speakers from Good Guys) and the second a Pioneer.? I wanted to get the recent low end Pioneer but so did everyone else apparently as they are sold out. ;-)

Cal Tjader - Rare vinyl LP

Cal Tjader used to play Sunday evening jams at the DoubleTree in the Seattle area back in the early 1970s.? The jazz trio I was in played there regularly.?

When I was at the University of Washington in 1967, I wound up being president of the jazz society and we had a Sunday afternoon concert with John Handy at the Hub.? Bobby Hutcherson was playing vibes with Handy at the time and when they dropped by the jazz club downtown to get his vibes it was locked up.? So since I was a music major I ran over to the music building and brought back our Deagan vibes.? Bobby played and endorsed Musser vibes but gladly accepted the Deagan's to use.? Afterward he told me he was able to play things on the Deagan vibes he couldn't on the Musser.
