Van Halen II

John Paul Jones - The Thunderthief.  One of the songs came up in my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist and I recognized Robert Fripp playing on it and decided to check out the whole album.  It's pretty good and has some great guitar work by Fripp.  
My Lifelong Quest to Make my Expensive Rig Sound as Good as $500 Headphones
I have about a dozen headphones including the likes of Audeze LCD-4, Sony MDR-Z1R, Sennheiser HD 800 and the like with a great Simaudio 430HA headphone amp and a couple of Sony TA-ZH1ES headphone amps.  I rarely listen to headphones anymore as the...

Sammy Hagar - Standing Hampton.  I haven't listened to this in a while and it's actually a lot better than I remember. @bslon You can never have too much Steely Dan.  I do wonder about how much better their earlier albums could be. @slaw Heartbe...

Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for almost anything from Steely Dan (or Donald Fagen).  I can feel my wallet getting lighter already.  
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
What a sad train-wreck of a thread.  I feel bad for Ralph having to try to educate a bunch of keyboard warriors all because someone said something nice about his gear.

@loomisjohnson  I'm glad you got turned onto something cool. I especially like that it was recorded at the Paramount, a theater that I've seen many shows at.

Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction  
Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options?
What is your "taste/preference"? That would be helpful information. The Bifrost is very good. I had one for a while, but ended up letting it go as it had a little bit of a "digital edge" to it. I prefer more neutral and "analog sounding". The MHD...
