| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system Hey, it's only money! Heaven forbid that you just buy a good DAC to start with. We must tweak and money is no object to get that last 1 or 2 percent of sound quality. Or maybe it's more "substantial" than that? Hopefully so, because $7K would ... | |
| Guitar Solos Many Steely Dan records have a lot of hidden gems in terms of guitar solos. I say hidden, because when you think of Steely Dan, you don't typically think of them as a guitar band and the guitar solos are usually a little further back in the mix, ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Eric, I love all those back stories that you have :)Listening to another copy or Pretzel Logic this morning. This one is in excellent condition and may be the keeper of the bunch. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jim, I'm also a fan of Liz Phair. I thought about throwing her into that toxic mix also. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Joel, I suggest starting with To Bring You My Love from PJ. I don't think it's fair to compare her to anyone, the best I can think of is a mash-up of Tom Waits and Garbage. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Sounds good Jim, as long as it's not Dueling Banjos. | |
| Sub-$1250 DAC w/ built-in Headphone Amp You may be able to find a used Sony TA-ZH1ES within your budget. It's a fantastic headphone amp with a really good DAC. I have about a dozen headphones, many of them "high-end", but one of my favorite pairings is with my Sennheiser HD-6XX. It d... |
