| Best single-malt Scotch... I'm cheap and inexperienced with single malts. I like Macallan 15 even if that makes me seem like a newb. I rarely drink so I'm not as inclined to do as much experimenting as I would with, say, my foodie fix. | |
| Headphones for a Laptop I will reiterate the recommendation of using a DAC/amp like the uDac. Together with the Shure 940 you can have a high quality portable laptop system. The AKG 70x is not the right headphone. I've owned 3. It's too demanding with it's need for a pow... | |
| Selecting headphones and a headphone amp Try looking into the LCD2 with a Woo WA2 tube amp. Read about it on Head-Fi.org. I also wrote a full review on the Woo WA6SE and WA2 with several headphones including the Audeze LCD2. | |
| Headphones for a Laptop The Shure 940 and a DAC/Amp like the uDac would be a decent combo. Also remember to use lossless files. | |

| Why CD players will never be dead I buy CDs and rip them to my server. I like having the physical medium and I can pick up used CDs cheap. Since there is no such thing as a used download, I'm unlikely to find an album in Redbook or better for a $1. | |
| Jazz Recommendations I think this is a thread that deserves to be bumped. I don't have any specific recommendations. I listen to the standards like Miles, Armstrong, Coltrane, Burbeck, Krall, Barber. I have "Jazz at the Pawnshop". Yes I also listen to Steely Dan and Z... | |

| Where does your user name come from? @Rex44 My ex wife is Japanese. When I originally used this screen name I was going to use a different name but it would have been offensive in Japanese. So I settled on this. lol |
