| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Spotify has all the great old Verve jazz recordings on a playlist. I was listening today to all the old greats. Young, Peterson, Evans, Getz etc. All recorded on tube amps and the digital remaster sound great to me. Good old straight ahead Jazz.So... | |
| spend on the streamer or on the DAC ? I'm just getting into streaming so after ditching the throw way interconnects and hooking up my Node2i with an Audience Cable, I am quite impressed. My next move will be to have an ethernet cable strung to my listening room and I've ordered some o... | |

Those speakers and Chapman Audio speakers gave me a rock solid referent system. For several years I showed with them at CES. We soun... | |
| Hybrid Amplifiers suggestions I wasn't impressed with the Rogue Sphynx 3. Descent amp, but all I heard was class D. Don't take my word. Just my taste and observation. I was surprised due to the good word on this one. |
