In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.
The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.
I'll always call myself a Noob and without JBH and a truckload DS to help create the NAS, this hobby wouldn't have been anywhere near as cool as it has turned into...and then of course, none of it would be happening at all it it weren't for the PAF!! Some great folks here, that's for sure!

DAC = digital analog converter
Pre/pro = preamp processor
Critic Steve Simels said (approvingly) of this album when it was released: "It'll kill your house plants." High praise indeed.
