| Zappa Recommendations ? @tvad:I can appreciate the unique capacity for comedy to unearth truths.@tuberist: "Hot Rats which is a terrific intro to Zappa's world"In fact, I began listening to "Hot Rats" last night. I enjoyed the instrumental portions but the vocals in "Wil... | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? That's an interesting question, tvad. I've never thought about that! I suspect I somehow manage to ignore that aspect to some degree. In any event, Fagan's delivery is still that of a "conventional" singer, delivering a "conventional" narrative. I... | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? @edgewear:I recently watched a documentary about FZ where he said something to the effect that, in his view, "the absurd" was the primary reality. No doubt, this was a major factor that determined the flavor of the vocals he felt were "necessary" ... | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? Well, I found "Yellow Snow" hilarious back in my stoned HS days but now it's just. . . irritating. | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? Thanks to all for your suggestions!!!I will check them out. | |
| Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" ! @tvad:Looks like you've put this issue to rest, once and for all. My technical knowledge is obviously lacking. Very kind of you to take the time to look into this! @speakermaster:If that's a possibility, the La Voce does have a polarity switch. ... | |

| Inexpensive, neutral-to-warm sounding SS headphone amp? I'm very sensitive to highs, hence my (perhaps) over-concern with straying into fatiguing territory. . . | |
| Inexpensive, neutral-to-warm sounding SS headphone amp? Yes, indeed-- the Aqua DAC is on the warm side but my headphones are not...I will probably try the Jotunheim first, see how I like it. | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? My answer will depend upon the mood I'm in when asked. . . . . . and, furthermore, there are many ways of being "moved". I have to assume that the guy in the car next to me in bumper-to-bumper freeay traffic who's got all the windows rolled down a... | |
| Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" ! Hi tvad:Thanks for taking the time to read through the specs and provide me with additional clarification.

| Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" ! I appreciate all the responses. Some went over my head. Thanks to millercarbon, in particular, for answering my question in a direct and non-technical manner. | |
| Please clear up my confusion re: meaning of "balanced" ! Thanks for your responses.@russ69:Yes-- this is the distinction that concerns me-- connecting a "fully balanced" component to one that merely has XLR connectors. I read the Wikipedia article, but am still unclear regarding my question about conne... |
