| Steely Dan UHQR That’s good news that they say they finally got it right. It only took 45 years and a much bigger price tag I guess. Meanwhile all these high end demos using that record have been deficient all these years it would seem. Go figure! A co... | |

| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? @thyname can’t get anything by you. But don’t worry I stare at lots of things and my ears even still function as well. It’s a neat trick. Try it you’ll like it!🙏 | |

| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? Very 1st much smaller Capital Audiofest in the old Rockville mansion venue had a custom Goto horn setup that was outstanding. Hmmm I missed Avant-garde on the card this year. That would be an attraction for me. | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? Looks like I will miss CAF this year. To anyone there who might: please check on RAAL headphones for @mahgister and report back here. Thanks. | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? Yes Joseph Audio has always made my products I would consider buying best sound list. Also the parking garage is also always a booby trap with lots of dead ends trying to get out. | |
| Streamer software, what do you use? @erik_squires Before Roon I used Plex and Squeeze prior to that. A big reason for all was hardware independence. Google cast and Airplay also provides that and many streamers support those, though from a high end audio perspective those can have l... | |
