Is Rap a valid musical form?
@jonwatches1 - Hah! Nothing wrong with a little old time sacreligion! Dunno what the criteria for 'better' would be, but not for me he ain't - never mind ballpark; not even the same planet! Gimme Jerry 👍, not John Mayer 👎! 😃 Interesting that Bach...

@jonwatches1 - 'Jerry Garcia is just a folksinger who got lucky'? That's the funniest thing I've read this year so far! 🤣🤣🤣 And yes, I love the Dead too, but I sure ain't buyin' THAT!   @atlvalet - I'm 70 and totally enjoy hip-hop, rap, punk, p...

Is Rap a valid musical form?
@mglik - In a way, yes, but being a big reggae fan, when I first heard rap/hip-hop, I was thinking, 'This is like Jamaican toasting', which had been going on since earlier in the 70's, and it was. But it was different too, so I like both!!

Tube phono rec’s for AT Art9XI - Allnic, Modwright, Luxman…
 I've got a Herron Audio tube phono preamp, and it is SUPERB!!   
DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R
@noske - Indeed, and I have a similar attitude - I love having tubes in my system - I've got a couple of good tube headphone amps, and in my 2-channel system, I use a Herron Audio tube preamp with an MSB SS power amp - both of those components are... 
DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R
@jonwatches1 - Thanks! And depending on the rest of the gear in the system, it may indeed be very hard to tell the difference between the DAC's. I was using a Chord DAVE + M Scaler, and it was fine, but I ended up replacing that setup with a Holo ...

DAC Question: Delta-Sigma vs R2R
@jonwatches1 - No abuse here! 😁 But just wondering why you would think a new cheap $300 DAC would be better than a Chord Hugo, for example, which is 5 years old or so? Enjoy yer tunes!   
dCS Bartok DAC - Interesting Video Review
It was nice seeing a review that was obviously totally honest. I'm sure it's a great DAC and I would love to have one, but I like to hear differing opinions, too...
