DAC in player vs DAC in computer.
audioengr, if you started from digital out in a computer, could it compete with the best "stand alone CD players"; if you used the best DAC? 
DAC in player vs DAC in computer.
Do you know if anyone has tried a DTI between their DAC and computer. For those of you who never heard of a Digital Transmission Interface, it re-clocked the digits; and they raised the quality of almost whichever DAC they were used with. 
Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?
This is one of my favorite jazz tunes "Delilah"; she's the one Sampson fell for. This version features Ray Nance on violin and Ahmed Abdul Malik on bass, it's boss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkFSM9Frx3w 
Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists?
Inna, while I agree with your general statement; it's not good enough to be against something, and not be "for" something else.Why don't you post a "Youtube" that best illustrates the violinist who "floats your boat". 
Spectron vs any good tube amp.
I'm not into rock, and my days for "blasting" are long gone. I want to hear all the subtle nuances that make music beautiful. I like musicians that play music as opposed to notes. The right set up in a bedroom would work for me.I'm going to give t...

Grado reference platnum or Grado statement platnum
This is the first time everybody has recommended the same thing. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the Grado high output Platnum. 
Spectron vs any good tube amp.
No, I've never listened to an SET, but I would like to. Theoretically, I think it should be the best; especially the 300B SET. I hate to use "abstract" words and at the same time speak in scientific terms, but I have no alternative in this case. M... 
Spectron vs any good tube amp.

Is there any truth to this question?
I have never seen one question with so many variables. If everybody chooses the variables that makes their answer correct, then nobody is wrong.
