Back to cleaning and listening to the bargain stash. First up tonight......Kenny Rankin - "Like a Weed"Was totally unfamiliar with Kenny Rankin and this album. It's pretty good. I think I'll check Spotify for his most popular songs. Might be worth... 
Is my DAC my weakest link?
@ryunosuke13 - What amp do you have? You say "Audionics BK-ST 140 (BT-2)". However, that doesn't seem to be correct. Audionics made a pre-amp model BT-2 and B&K made an amp model ST-140. I'm guessing your amp is a B&K ST-140, correct?

OK, I listened to enough crappy records tonight. Decided to end the night with a great one....Willie Nelson - "Always on my Mind"This is a great sounding record. And I love Willie. This is one of my favorite Willie albums.

Next out of the 15 cent stash......James Taylor - "JT"Big record from 1977. Nominated for Best Album at Grammys, but lost out to Rumours. Good record, but doesn't compare to Rumours. May go in my record shelf, or may go into the trade pile. Not su...

Next up:Poco - "Cantamos"Really clean, quiet copy for a record that cost 15 cents. Musically, not bad, but not fantastic either. Will probably go into the Trade pile.

I'm going through some of the "on sale" $1 bin records I bought a couple of weeks ago. Ended up paying just 15 cents a piece for them as the LRS had them marked down to 6 for a dollar. All hand picked for condition, but I was not familiar with man...
