The Night Muddy Waters Got My Mojo Working… and 50 Years Later My DAC Did Too
I’ll be interested in your future impressions @kirkwallace. I’ve only had experience in my rig with half a dozen DACS from $2-10K, so pretty limited. I never learn my lesson in head-to-head comparisons; creating extensive playlists with each track...

@kirkwallace I’m envious. I’m really happy with the Y but look forward to hearing the Z in my rig. Yes, @russellrcncom The Z Quantum with all the bells and whistles is 0ver $10K.

I’m in luck. Ben sold out his entire run of model Z. I’ll have to wait till summer for him to tempt me to upgrade.

Thank youn @northman   
God, I hate to ask this…
I have found satisfaction in giving away all of the equipment that I accumulated in closets and bedrooms over the years  I’ve made arrangements for the big rig to land in a new home as well. Find a music lover and set them up  
Shipping on pallets
Just asked for a quote to move a pair of speakers from NM to OR. They quoted nearly $3K. Speakers made a trip from NM to WA a couple years ago for $800 with DHL. Fully insured on a pallet   
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Joe Bonamassa Saturday night. Christmas present from my son. Two months ago it was Bonnie Raiitt compliments of my daughter. Three months ago it was Lake Street Dive with all the kids and grandkids, including 2 year old. Six year old knows lyrics ... 
Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?
Chapman Audio. My ears have been lit up by a handful of loudspeakers over the last 50 years upon first listening. Vandersteen, Quad, Snell, Magnepan.,Apogee acoustics, and Chapman Acoustics are on the top of the list. I sent my Chapman T 77’s back... 
Is participating in this Forum infringing on and spoiling some of your listening time?
Yup. If I’m here, I’m not listening regardless whether stereo is playing. If I’m listening, I’m not here. I don’t divide attention and I don’t do background music except for diner parties. Music is about the only thing that can hold my attention.  
Upcoming Concerts?!
Keb Mo, Lake Street Dive, Joe Bonamassa, handful of classical events. All with either my children and or grandchildren.They are vets. My daughter has been with me three of the seven times I’ve seen Bonnie Raitt. Six year old grandson was brought u... 
Frank is gone. AVA lives on!
in the late 80s, we were two or three months into an extended stay in Rochester, MN as the docs from Mayo clinic desperately tried and ultimately failed to keep our six-year-old son alive. Needing a break one day, I drove down to Burnsville to wha... 
Friends hi-fi system not very good, what do you do or say?
I take a seat in their sweet spot and close my eyes for a few moments and then say, “I hope you’re getting a tremendous amount of pleasure out of this.“  
I Got Ants in my Pants and Need to Dance
Some to You by Banner. Everyone from 15 months to 70 years old popped up to shake what they have and can.   
Do you have Ny Weekly Q?
