Re: All these DACs makes my head spin - Please
I am pretty happy with my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+. However, the Lampizatior Baltic 4 looks appealing. But a bit more than I'd want to spend.
Even the Holo May KTE is a tad pricey for me (well not... -

Re: We Are Living in the Golden Age of Affordable High-End Audio
Yeah I like uber boxes on racks rather than some slimmed down "system". I am all for say something like an SACD transport to plug into the i2s port in the back of an enthusiast DAC.

Re: Tubed Power Amplifiers. Are the disadvantages too great ?
My Oly 1s have those specs and I ended up not being satisfied at all with the MC75 monoblocks driving them. I got a beefy solid state 400 watt Class D e-purify amp, and now the fabers sing,

Re: At what dB level do you begin to have hearing damage?
Nearly all my listening is done between 78 and 83-85 db. My room is only 10x12 and anything louder would run me out.
I agree the goose bump factor is decidedly better around 82 versus 75. -
