Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if.....
If LSD ruined rock, then you're not a fan of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Yes, Queen, etc.  I'd say you're missing out..

Problem is - all I really need is quality SPDIF out from the iPhone.  The Wadia DAC does a nice job of uprezzing from there.  So no need to spend a lot extra for another DACor other bells and whistles.  But the only devices I can find that supply ...

Yes - love "Within you and without you".  Probably more responsible than anything else for my spiritual quest starting in my teens.  But beyond that, it really cemented from the first listen that this album was revolutionary.  If you really listen...

Rotarius - sorry that was WAY overgeneralizing, and I don’t have any experience first hand. My comments came from a few articles I read about the more revealing top end emphasis being due to manufacturers responding to Asian demand. And I believe ...

I know the Luminist rev's were current as of a year or two ago.  The rev C's I purchased in the early 2000's.  I purchased some other's but don't remember the rev name maybe 5 years ago.  Never sounded good in my system.Looks like the Cardas cross...

Thanks for the offer on the Museaus but I also have a pair laying around.  They changed to the more revealing after rev c's buy Purists own admission.
