    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...

    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. I have had mine now for about 3 weeks and really liking it. I have enough hours on it to hear the differences of the 3 digital...

    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.

    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...

    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)...

    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.
