If someone handed you this system, what would you change?
You've heard it, what are the current strengths that you want to enhance or what are the weakness you'd like to address? How loud do you play your music and what type of music do you listen too?   First there is no perfect system.  There are sys...

Streaming – Discovering Similar or New Music
I'm not a huge fan of the streaming services suggesting similar artists.  I use the all music site https://www.allmusic.com/  which tells me more about the artist and seems to have a more accurate algorithm.  As you move down the page it gets a li...

DIY Steampunk Tube Amplifier, feedback please :)
I like it.  More old 60s dragster look than "steampunk" in my opinion.  I would bet Big Daddy Roth would be playing The Ventures cranked to 11 if given the chance. Great craftsmanship and a well thought out design.

USB yet again
Maybe I don’t know what an ethernet based DAC is??? Isn’t it just converting the ethernet stream to a protocol like I2S? There isn’t a cable or a connector as it can be wired directly but wouldn’t it be prone to have all the same issues as a separ... 
Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit)
I've been assimilated and have dropped Qobuz and joined the Borgazon.  The lack of titles I listen to couldn't be justified by the better sound quality.  I'm hoping for continued improvement in the Amazon API so it becomes more available on more p...

Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to
I’m sure that some day I’ll come around to Norah Jones. She’s not bad just meh. Saying that one of my favorites is her duet with Ray Charles.     I have come to adore Linda Ronstadt so I’m sure there’s hope.  
patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole
It would be pretty difficult to go to one of their concerts though but I'm sure it would  sell out if you figured out a way to resurrect them and get them touring again.
