Blended or Single Malt?
I finally convinced my wife to get me a bottle of scotch for Christmas, as a regular thing. It was maybe 5 years ago, after 25 years of marriage. She surprised me with bottle of Pinch. She was in a hurry and asked the clerk to recommend one. I should have known better than to tell her to...- tako_tsubo

The Stax thread (New)
Another vote for the Pico...good neutral dac, but a touch too smooth on top. In your price range I am liking the Amb's gamma 2. A Mister X build will be under $400.

Is Steve Jobs an Audiophile?
Wouldn't be surprised if Jobs doesn't show up in some picture with Bowers and Wilkins headphones on. Nice tie in to the the apple store selling this HP.- tako_tsubo

Buyer's Anxiety?
Actually you are just shifting your personal spending money around. You found a deal for the Boss thingy bob...and now shifting this personal "want" with something else.

Congrats on picking out a Stax system Bullseye. I don't listen to much metal ...but my Lambda based Stax do sound good listening to Porcupine Tree. The speed of the electrostats is what will make metal appealing...- tako_tsubo

Audio fidelity - how long do you stick with a piece of gear?
I am a pretty faithful guy to equipment that sounds good to me. My vintage set up I bought in 1987, Carver The Receiver along with Polk Monitor 10b in htf real rosewood veneer. I have been reading and experimenting with cap change outs...bypass caps ( I have Ninja'ed Onix/av123 speakers)...- tako_tsubo

15,000 songs later......
Well done Sparky Although for all its poor vocal performance...Liz Phair's Exiles In Guyville, just does it for me and is a definite when I exercise. REM...Monster is one of my all time favorites, especially on a vigorous hike.- tako_tsubo
