Vikings Fight Song: Try again
Unfortunately the Vikes pretty much beat themselves. 
Accustic Arts Tube Dac II or Berkley Alpha DAC
Does the AA Tube DAC have volume control or do does it need a preamp? 
Grant Green's version of 'Round About Midnight
What Grant Green album is his version of "Round Midnight" on? 
Haiti Telethon
Yes, I heard about the downloads. Any word on a hard copy release? 
Decent sounding Pretenders album?
I definitely agree that remasters frequently offer no improvement thus the original post on the 2008 release "Best of the Pretenders"? 
Haiti Telethon
I was really impressed by most of the performances. IMHO: Some high quality stuff! 
Jethro Tull questions...
My favorites are Benefit and Stand Up. Unfortunately I've never heard an excellent version of either album. 
Vikings Fight Song: Try again
I'm up here on the frozen tundra but I'm thinking this Vikings song just isn't doing it for me.However, I understand why some Lone Star State folks might have some bitter feelings. Frankly I was a bit surprised myself.I'm not even going to venture...

Dynaudio Focus 360 - Thoughts/Experiences?
I went to the Dynaudio net site to check out the Focus 360 specs and saw the Consequence Ultimate Edition. That thing is a monster! 
Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers
I had 4 R1s in my system and replaced 2 with Fim880(G)s. For me it provided a nice balance.Obviously, these things differ for each application and personal taste. Whatever works! 
Anyone tried using Oyaide R 1 with Ribbon speakers
This may not be all that helpful, I've tried both and liked both (Fim 880(G)* & Oyaide R1). I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Currently have 2 of each in my system.PS: R1 may have an edge in build quality but costs more as well.*... 
Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts?
So the Bryston has no volume control of any kind, with or without the remote?
