| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? I've got an MSB S-200 power amp and an MSB 'Analog DAC' which I use as a DAC and pre-amp, and that is superb sounding gear, like everything MSB makes.... I can't compare it to others I've not heard in my sound system, I can just testify to its am... | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I loved the song 'Paint It Black', so the first rock album I ever got as a young'un was 'Aftermath' by the Rolling Stones, back in 1966 or so. When I saw that the last song, 'Going Home', was listed at over 10 minutes, I thought that that had to h... | |

| How old are you? I'm 69, and although my hearing is somewhat compromised, I can still tell the relative differences between audio gear. Started getting into higher end stuff in the late 70's. Now I'm working on getting my headphone system together! | |
