Technics SL-1300G Turntable issues
@mattmiller - you don't seem to be familiar with the SL-1200G which was hand-built in Japan and is an excellent table; at its weight and build, most definitely not a 'DJ' table, never mind the looks.

Odd DAC Pricing
Doesn't seem odd to me that something that new goes for $13,500 would sell for 8 or 9 thousand used. Around how many is that 'many' you've seen listed for sale? I might look into one!   
Focal Diva Utopia active speakers less than impressive.

Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You?
@jpwarren58 - 'Cadillac'? What happened to 'headlight'?   
What Meatloaf and Beer Have Taught me about Audiophiles
I like meatloaf just fine, but IPA's? AACK! Both the tastes and the smells of those things offend my senses. But then, the only 'beers' I really like are hand-pulled 'traditional' or 'Best Bitter' cask ales that I get in the UK when I'm there visi...

@mrdecibel - the tolerance I'm speaking of is that I'd need to eat about 5 boxes of cannabis-infused gummies to feel much of anything. Most folks need 20 - 30 mg. I need over 350mg for the same affect, hence my salad oil!   
Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000?
Naaa. I got one for $49,000, and yep, crap. Shoulda popped for the extra grand....
