@pjw81563 Daniel Humair: Cool Trading with Attila Zoller and Mike Formanek - YouTube Wow -- this is great!!!! Do you happen to know whether this group released any recordings?    
Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others?

Weiss 501 DAC
@jimmy2615  The Music Room is a Weiss dealer. They have a return policy. You would have to pay shipping and restock fee but if you are seriously interested, it might be a good way to confirm or deny whether it's the right DAC for your system.

@curiousjim I’m a big fan of Chick Corea’s acoustic and Fender Rhodes playing, but as is also the case with Herbie Hancock, I do not enjoy his synth recordings. It’s not Corea -- it’s the instrument, which I’ve never warmed to, overall. There ar... 
ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?
