Any Famous people on Audiogon ?
It’s known that Tom Cruze is into hi-end audio. He’s also talked about it on The Tonight Show and even got Jimmy Falon into it...but I doubt they buy used or need a coumity to talk with for advice. I think it’s safe to bet that any famous celebrit... 
LTA micro zotl preamp
Thanks @lancelock I’ll look up his past work. Your comments help.I always had a preamp but this past year, I’ve been running DAC w/ vol control, the clear window transparency is great. I’ll put a pre back in and definitely get a little more densit... 
LTA micro zotl preamp

Has anyone compared the new MicroZOTL Preamp to the MZ2?
The new ordered units seem to be leaving the factory about month slower than expected... I’m anxiously awaiting reports once people begin to receive them.  
This is juvenile...

Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound?
No Lampizator mentioned yet. Great and rare blend of warmth and resolution. Go vol control straight to amp. Or pre to add more warmth, if that’s your thing. But imo the DACs really shine straight to amp.  
Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both

::thumbs up::  I totally get it now. And now I believe we’d agree on many things. 
50 years on---the brilliance of The Band and their astounding debut album.
Well, like I said, you certainly know your stuff, more than me —and obviously prefer vocal perfection. The Dead have never been in the running for ‘best’ vocals on any album comparison ever. And they’ll tell you straight up they were never top not...

“Workingman’s Dead is an obvious attempt at being The Band (sabotaged by The Grateful Dead’s member’s inability to sing very well)”Youre flat wrong here...  blanket statements like that about the Dead never fly. The Dead did not try to be anyone b...

Has anyone heard the Terminator sound better after being on for more than a couple days? I recently heard it for a number of days and thought I noticed better sound by a tangible margin after a few days from it’s last turn on.
