MSB DAC's Popularity
@thyname + 1 - and I mis-spelled Vince's surname. But yeah, he's great!   
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@femoore12 + 1 - That's one audio dealer I can cross off my list of 'might buy something from them some day'. He doesn't care if people don't like him. Good, 'cause after reading his post, I don't like him, and I would never reward somebody I don'... 
Madonna's soundstage
Indeed - Roger Waters has always been into sounds, voices, etc coming from all different places, both on records and in concert....  
2:00 a.m. listening at Noon!
@czarivey - that's how I experience music, both live and recorded, for the past 50 years or so! Cannabis and tunes!   
MSB DAC's Popularity
I've had an MSB Analog DAC for about 8 or 9 years - it's a ladder DAC with a volume control, and it's excellent and has never had a problem - I was running it directly into my MSB Power Amp, and that sounded good, but when I put a Herron Audio lin... 
I am really disappointed with the hip-hop enthusiasts on Audiogon
@audioguy85 - you realize you jumped into a thread where the most recent post was almost 5 years old, don't you?  And yeah, hip-hop/rap is every bit as much 'music' in every way, shape, or form as anything that you might prefer. Too many people ...

Ian McDonald of King Crimson and Foreigner dies at 75 RIP
For me it was the first King Crimson album; the one thing that immediately struck me besides how great it all sounded was the intricacy and power of the drumming. Almost always among the most important positions in a prog-rock band is the drummer,... 
Scams on Audiogon (McIntosh Amps)
... and free shipping too, for something that weighs 110 pounds! Perhaps they decided that wasn't such a great thing to offer....  
Music that swings
Yeah, 'Lazy' is a good one for that. There are a lot of Blue Oyster Cult songs that have a great swinging rhythm....

@russ69 - I was talking about Foreigner...   
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
@laoman - from reading your posts, I'd have never guessed that English is a second language - you're much better at it than most native-speakers! As for spelling, I can't believe that anybody on the Internet can take anybody else to task for spel... 
Why dealers disparage certain products?
@clearthink - he's in the business of selling gear to customers; I'm not. It's his livelihood, not mine. As a potential customer, if I don't like his 'individual style', I will respond to that style by applying my own individual style, which would... 
Roger Miller anyone?
@tooblue - and a chicken ain't chicken till it's lickin' good fried, deep on the sunny side...  
Do you trust your system?
@steakster - A-ha! Clive indeed! First I was gonna say 'none of them' or something like that, but I changed it to 'with a very few exceptions' - also people like the late Ahmet Ertugan. A friend of mine used to be president of Capital Records for ...
