Analog or Digital and why?
Since Mike Lavigne has dedicated so much in developing tape, vinyl and digital in his system, his preference for analog over digital carries authority. One question for Mike, though--in putting in your MSB Select, clock and streamer, did you previ... 
High Performance Audio - The End?
He's also into increasing his Youtube subscriber base, and the majority of his listeners are probably in the $5k-$20K range, so his topics may be tailored to gather the most listeners on the bell curve.  He wants you to relate to his site--I like ...
