I love vinyl, but it is a PITA. Remove vinyl from sleeve, place on turntable, place clamp, turn it on, clean record, listen, get up, etc. Best sound quality? Yes. PITA? Yes.

So, I picked up a Gold Note DS-10 music player DAC. Ethernet connection to router, Chord RCAs into Line Magnetic inputs.

Download controller to the tablet, select Tidal, sit back and enjoy the music!

So, we have a chance to save the world by sitting on the couch and listening to music. Don't screw it up!

Sounds really good! Just don't listen to vinyl first.

Don't think I'd have to worry about that ...
I gave up critical listening a long time ago.
Having done it in my 20's and 30's,
I just have a minimum standard smile

I gave up critical listening
when the listening got critical
now I am critical of any listening
that is done critically.

Generally easy going, occasionally critical. One sounds really good, the other better.

They opened one of our golf practice ranges, so I finally got out and go to swing.

Just for poops and giggles, here are a few more 2 channel, stereo systems:

A mighty Yamaha M-80, Onkyo P304 preamp, Onkyo T9090 tuner, big Onkyo CD player, wonderful Dahlquist M905 speakers (I refinished them! - fun) and a little Velodyne DSP subwoofer. In the work out room. Does not get enough play.

And this is the room where I meditate to draft appellate briefs, not the kind you wrap around your head Tex!!

Denon DP 47f turntable with a nice AT moving magnet cartridge, Klipsch Forte speakers with Crites upgraded cross-over, and in the cabinet, all my CD and SACD players. Rotel RCD 991 vintage CD player best of the bunch) and of course, the Antique Sound Labs MG SI 15dt 8 wpc Single End Triode tube amplifier with Gold Lion KT88s, and a pair of unicorn dusted Telefunken smooth plate black diamond 12ax7s.

Sound is very nice.[Linked Image from hosting.photobucket.com]

I always wrap an appellate brief around my medulla to appeal to my good senses.

Philip worked with Bruce Cutler on the Gotti case. They're now working on El Chapo.

Hi Mr. rriev

Civil, mostly litigation, appeals, some transactional.
