| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yes - Drama | |
| Phono stage for my system? A Parks Puffin phono stage will set you back $400 and leave you some money to invest in a better turntable and / or cartridge and sound a lot better than what you're using now. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Spun a few CD's last night...Peter Gabriel - Shaking the TreeMark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris - All the RoadrunningTom Jones - Reload (awesome!) | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I saw David Crosby last night in Portland (OR) at the Aladdin Theater, an old venue with about 600 seats. He was in great form, had a killer band, and there was great interplay with the audience. Go see him if you're a fan of his music and have an... | |
| Saxaphone vs. Trumpet...Which do you prefer? Depends who's playing and what they're playing. Its not the instrument, its the music. | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions I'm wondering if they hurt their overall sales, releasing it the way they did. I was all set to buy it as soon as it came out without having heard anything from it, only to find out that every record store only had a handful of copies of a "specia... | |

| DAC: Before I jump in... I like DACs that don't sound "digital". The MHDT Orchid fits that bill for me and is under your budget. | |
| Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated I'd grab it. I doubt it will be either of those things. It's local, so you'll be able to audition it, correct? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Lana Del Rey - Norman F_____ Rockwell and Sheryl Crow - Threads on Qobuz this morning. Doing some headphone listening with the Focal Elex. I love these headphones! | |

| Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated I was considering upgrading one of my integrateds recently and came close to pulling the trigger on a KI Pearl. I haven't heard one, but have owned a few Marantz pieces, including a KI Pearl SACD player, which is probably the nicest sounding sour... |
