Thanx to all of you for your erudite responses. Dealer will take care of me, it seems. 
Benchmark DAC 2 in standby mode
Does not sound kosher to me, however, I am not speaking from experience because I do not own a Benchmark DAC. 
Do you indulge when listening to your rig?
Phd- Could not be further (or is it farther?) away here in NY.

The Worst Performance Ever - Really
Casey33- I guess one cannot, and should not, argue "taste" but I need to make an exception. The Alice Cooper band (pre-1973, or so) was a remarkably tight, cohesive unit. Few bands of the genre played as well. 
Which Harbeth Speakers

Agree, but the last decade, or more, of Jerry's life was difficult for me as a big fan. Garcia's playing became spotty and his voice was really shot. The several post-GD projects are good, not great. I find we're just trying to re-live our past an...
