| Parity Congratulations @rvpiano Eventhough I have a few thousand CD’s and albums, I bought a streamer about six months ago and have been like a kid in a candy store. I’m thinking about going totally digital. Enjoy! | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear @dougthebiker Bruce Hornsby, Madman across the water. Good Choice! | |
| Rebadging of Streaming Platforms @badgerdms I agree that the DAC is important. Not only do I use a steamer, but I have a few thousand CD’s and a NAS that all end up going through my DAC. In fact, I’m listening to Houston Person from the NAS as I type. | |
| This place is getting sloooooooweeeerrr...... All good here. | |

| Doobie Brothers' drummer John Hartman dead at 72. I’ve seen the Doobies a few times, and it was always a good show. One that stands out, was when Heart was their opening band. They had just released Dreamboat Anne and boy were they great!! RIP John Hartman | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp Just like staring into a cracking fireplace, just without the Snap Crackle Pop. We hope.😁 | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 @whipsaw , I looked briefly at the Aqua La Scala and wondered about the tubes. I currently have a Pontus ll as well and leave it on 24/7. What do they say the tube life is and how warm does it get. Thanks. | |
