Favorite Tribute Albums?
Deadicated with various artists doing Dead covers. Gary plays Jimi.  Gary Moore playing Jimi Hendrix live.   
Hlep chosing a streamer/server for my DAC
Another vote for Innuous.  Their Sense app is the best I’ve used streaming Qobuz using my iPad or iPhone.  They have several options to fit your budget.  They also have a CD ripper with different amounts of storage.  Good customer service too.

Fire on the Bayou - The Neville Brothers   
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
Yes appreciate members that have knowledge about equipment or music that is new to me.  Very helpful.  Keep it coming!    
Genesis
I like both lineups.  Favorite album for each:  The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Gabriel.  Genesis (the blocks) - Collins.  Saw several times in concert with Collins.  Saw both Collins and Gabriel solo in concert.  All were excellent.

DAC 'Scam' Vid
I’ve tried 10 different DACs in my system.  Once I got above about $200 US they all sounded good.  Once I got up near 2K they sounded better.  2K was the top of my budget.  Ended up choosing the Holo Audio Cyan 2.  It was not the most expensive at... 
Ethernet cable - but which one?
I use Blue Jeans cable 6A cable made to length with measurements taken for the cable and shipped with the cable.    
DDC or Better Streamer?
Another vote for an Innuos streamer.  I have the Zen MK3.  Upgraded from a Bluesound Node M130 streamer and I noticed a difference in sound quality immediately.  They just discontinued the Zen MK3 so you may be able to find a used one.  They make ...
