what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
@painter24 - I'm so with you on the merits of Graham Nash. Nothing against the guy - I loved him in the Hollies and he's a fine photographer, but his CSN(Y) songs, to me, are about the most insipid things I've ever heard (and back then, I listened... 
what’s a song cover that you think is better than the original?
@painter24 - I much prefer the JA version of 'Wooden Ships', and Paul Kantner did co-write it with Crosby and Stills. But then, I like JA a whole lot more than I do CSNY anyway.

McIntosh LB200?
@nonoise + 1 - you mean the name that new guy is using is the name of a race car driver? I don't follow car racing.  But I'm not hip to Naomi Klein - please enlighten!   
DAC diminishing returns
R2R DACs do not sound the same as chip DACs. A Denfrips will not sound much of anything like a Chord. Personally, I much prefer R2R DAC's and don't much care for the Chord sound, but for some people it's the opposite, and it's nothing to do with ... 
McIntosh LB200?
@nonoise - sometimes irony does not translate in written posts as well as we would like it to be; you can't hear giveaway vocal intonations! 😁  
Devore / Bay Area
I've bought from Tim at Tone of Music several times and would gladly do so again.   
hearing loss and amp choices
Expensive hearing aids from an audiologist are very different from cheap hearing amplifiers at Costco or wherever. I use in-ear hearing aids for TV, music, and even headphones. Life was so vastly improved (and music started sounding so much bette...

@roxy54 - sounds like the definition of a forum thread! 🤣
