Is Norah Jones waiting for a new tube or tune?

Comments, please, on Spica TC-60 setup.
Hi, just stumbled across this thread. I'm a big fan of Spicas. When I bought my first stereo, I couldn't find any speaker I liked at any price until I heard the TC50s. They were so obviously better than anything out there at the time that I heard,... 
What is the difference in a 2 eye and 6 eye record
What the heck are you people talking about? 
creation lives as creator goes

Help me pick out music for a party
Pay more attention to the mood you want to create than worrying about a particular genre. If the main activity is expected to be conversation, pick something upbeat, but not too rocking or distracting. I find Dave Mattews perfect for this. Mellow ... 
Maybe too detailed
If you think the Tact might be to blame, consider the Behringer 24/96 equalizer. It's less than $300, and very transparent 
Give Up?
Bad IC / broke wire yanking it off previous DAC? 
Give Up?
Digital output connected to amp? 
Give Up?
Output level set too high?
