exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical)
I can't believe I had to scroll down this list to almost the end to find Annie Haslam's name.  You beat me to it but I'm going to list it again anyway:. ANNIE HASLAM (of Renaissance fame).  For clarity and beauty she's up there with Eva Cassidy. 
Do I have to brand match preamp and amp?
@thynamePlease  Please let us know how you get on with that new preamp. 
How does a Transport effect sound?
Steve N.Thank you very much for testing the cables and posting those new data.  It seems the spectral plots may be more useful than the jitter distribution (which looked amazingly similar) when trying to correlate with listening impressions.  It w...

Was just going to post that I got your address off your website.  Thanks.

Steve N.,thanks for the offer to test the two cables above.  Both are outfitted with BNC RCA adapters.  it will be interesting to compare your measurements to your silver cable and any subjective listening impressions.  Am I sending these to Bend?

@audioengr Have you ever directly compared the Canare LV-77s and Belden 8281F coaxial cables for jitter? 
Anybody watch the Grammys tonight?
Maybe music will improve the day computer algorithms are better able to translate the way music moves us humans emotionally and intellectually instead of just physically.

@rpeluso i wish I could be like you.  I wish I had a clue like you do. By the way, admitting that you are an old white male doesn't in any way give you special permission to over generalize and stereotype others of your race and gender.

Another example of "control the media, control the message."  Too much money and power in the hands of too few people.  And I literally mean a few.

Ben Platt was excellent, most everything else including political messages was embarrassing.  On the positive side, subwoofers should sell well.  The industry is being led in the wrong direction despite the plethora of talent out there.  JMHO. 
Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about
Another vote for Andreas Vollenweider "White Winds" and "Caverna Magica."  Main instrument is electro acoustic harp but also lots of synth, some percussion and effects.  Well recorded, very good separation, and ambience if your system allows.  WW ... 
DAC for 2016 MacBook Pro
 I use an Ayre Codex dac with my MBP via phasure Lush USB cable and an ISO Regen from Uptone Audio.  I listen to CDs using a Meridian player with Toslink digital out to the Codex.  The music via USB is excellent.  Just remember to remove the Mac c... 
What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year?
My gift from my wife was neither audio equipment nor music.  She is always kind enough to listen to new cables or a reclocker or whatever, if I ask for her opinion but really has no interest in the hobby.  Me?  My fantasy career was to become a mu...
