| Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated I think that's a no on your question about the sacd player but I'm not home and can neither confirm or deny... | |
| Tool Fear Inoculum impressions I think it's a great sounding record, I miss some of the vitriol and rawness of their earlier work. | |
| 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. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? I'm listening to the new Tool now on Tidal through my headphone system. Musically it's great, but it seems to lack some of the "bite" of their earlier work. I guess we all grow up and mellow out a little. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Allman Brothers Band - Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas | |
