Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording?
There are also two of Donald Fagen's solo albums, Kamakiriad (actually a Steely Dan album in disguise) and Sunken Condos, that have excellent sonics and music (at least I think so).One of my reference recordings is Count Basie - Chairman Of The Bo...

Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound?
@auxinput: I feed my W4s DAC2 with a PS Audio PWT via the I2S connection which is very warm and analog sounding. Several audiobuds have listened extensively to my set up and have made the same comment. Preamp and amps are tubed, though, so perhaps... 
Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR

Talk but not walk?
Michael: After I last posted here I checked out your website to learn what this tuning stuff is all about. I see you have several approaches to optimizing the triad of audio elements. So we are alike in that I have sought my own version of "tuning...

Talk but not walk?
Hi Michael,OK, I accept that. Then why bother with a walk vs. talk thread to begin with, if for a reason other that to stir the pot (again and again it seems to becoming Audiogon Forums' raison d’être)? For entertainment purposes? OK, I can accept...
