    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...

    Eddie Current Equilibrato

    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. I presume that you shouldn't have a problem returning the overpriced item...which as has been mentioned, a similar deal will...

    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.
