Bryston BDA-2, Moon 300D or Benchmark DAC2 HGC
Austinbob, Thanks for your response. I see that neither Bryston does DSD but in a phone call to Bryston "they are looking at it" but if and when is still undetermined. Had you tried the Benchmark before you went with the NAD? Also on the wyred4sou... 
Is a hairbrush available?
Glad to know that it wasn't an isolated case. Gee my parents could've saved thousands, but the psychiatrist would have never developed a healthy appreciation for rock and roll. 
Review Olive 06HD
Gee MoFi is it a Olive or a Lemon??

LP12 upgrades

LP12 upgrades
If you haven't had it tuned by a Linn dealer recentley, you might start there. If the suspension isn't adjusted correctly and a reputable Linn dealer hasn't gone through the table you could be missing out on a better sound from your table as it is...

How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration
I have always heard Maple not marble. Something to absorb not reflect. 
What do you use to check for brightness?
One CD that comes to mind that has some high notes that can be overly piercing is Roger Waters Radio KAOS. I love the recording but some notes can make it easy to detecta cable, equipment or speakers characteristics (spell check). 
best snack for listening?
Cheetos. Except my remotes are all orange.... 
Johnny Clegg
Yes a great musician. He has really earned more recognition than he gets. He has a very interesting history and has had a journey reflected in his music. 
Ray Manzarek RIP
Sad to read. A great addition to the sound of the rock era of the Doors. As a local DJ mentioned when he made the announcement "Keith Richards outlasted yet another" 
What brand did you leave Rega for?
I went from a P25 full decked out with upgrades to a LP12 that has had some upgrades as well. I like the table but am hesitating to do any more upgrades. I have been looking at other tables but no direction yet. Actually I waiting to see what Rega...
