Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark.

skypunk,

Classy gentleman as always.

By the way, you accidentally posted a picture of the wading pool among pictures of your system.

So skypunk, your ambition is to be the obnoxious drunk of Audiogon?  Congrats.  You've got a good start here. 

And you chose such a unique way to demonstrate your bravado.  Analog is better than digital?  Never heard that one before!

My suggestion is for you to grow up.  You'll find it makes music and all kinds of things better.

Everyone hears differently.  We build a DHT DAC and a excellent phono stage.  Our DAC typically sounds better than most TT set-ups we compare it to.  I love to see the expression on a persons face when there analog set-up just does not sound as good as our DAC.  BUT even when we use a JC Penny TT ( we think CE made them back in the day), the sound beats our DAC every time.

Happy Listening.

My St Louis office was about 20 yards from where most every F/A-18 made before the E/F/G....and about 2 miles from the new factory, know lots of F18 drivers and more ( F-22 etc... ), i can think of very very few who with stupid bravado would go up against an SU-27 at moronic 18;1 odds.....

You should be able to learn something ( from your “ grenade “ post, read about Red Flag....even the highly vaunted F-22 has limits and vulnerability..... )

will your ego allow you to learn ?????
ps i ran the Boeing F-22 wing aft fuselage factory  production and other fun real world stuff......

@tomic601 LOL ego has nothing to do with it.

Matter of fact my team builds all the bearings in the landing gear of you F22 and the high speed bearings for the turbines.  Boing is one of our OE Aerospace accounts. We also made all the bearings for both Mars rovers and the booms on the ISS.

So if you want to talk “real world stuff” I am all in.

BTW Aerospace is in the tank and I am heading up a team in renewables next Wind and Solar.
