| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @ghdprentice Interesting. I wonder if some other part of the brain kicks in once we exhaust the possibilities dictated by reason. I agree that in my case, I probably would never had discovered the root of the problem had I not happened to demo ... | |
| LAIV Harmony @no_regrets Thanks so much for posting the additional quotes. I recognize that, due to budgetary constraints, trade-offs are inevitable in my case. That's OK. However, sacrificing musicality for resolution is a complete non-starter for me. Whe... | |
| LAIV Harmony @no_regrets Based on the writings of Michael, the LTA Aero (although being more expensive than the Harmony) has more developed sonic attributes that are more in-line with what is important to me. The following excerpt from the Twittering Mach... | |

| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim You're welcome! I always enjoy the sound of Du Naan's records. I'd like to pick up a few more. For a non Jazz recording, try "Come On Home" by Boz Scaggs. | |

| LAIV Harmony @audiostick I wish you luck in your DAC quest. | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gold DAC ? @tubeguy80 Thanks for sharing your experience. I wouldn't have even considered the S. Gold if not for Jay's (the young, Canadian Jay -- not the guy in Florida) surprisingly effusive review. @audphile1 Your input is very welcome, as always.... | |
