So I searched for "Perfect Angel" and there it was Looks like I'm not the only one who misspells her name PYP and The Computer Audiophile 1 1 Link to comment

John Yow Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I own a pre-Apex Bartok, this was before the big price increase of the Apex Bartok. If it compares well with the Lina, the used Bartok may be another good deal. Given that dCS products are built like tanks and last a lifetime. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment
ALLDIGITAL Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Thanks for sharing your insights into the LINA DAC. I believe a while back you reviewed the T+A DAC200 and gave it rave reviews. I would be interested in your thoughts as to how they compare sonically. Thanks ALLDIGITAL Link to comment

steveoat Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Hi Chris, From Wikipedia: "Maniac" is a song from the 1983 film Flashdance that was written by Dennis Matkosky and its performer, Michael Sembello. Same santanaish guitar playing, which I think is quite good. Link to comment

steveoat Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Chris, I don't know if you are a Clapton/Jeff Beck fan, but you should check out the YouTube videos of Clapton's tribute to Beck on his May 2023 live tour. What is the most interesting about these performances is how relaxed Ron Wood looks away from the Stones. He always looks very mechanical and uninspired during the Stone's performances, which he looks full of life (and is actually playing pretty well) during the Tribute concert. And yes, that is Johnny Depp playing guitar, as well as the 80 year old John McLaughlin. Link to comment
GregWormald Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 As I was standing at the side of the venue waiting for Rotary Connection to come on stage, Minnie Riperton walked out of the stage door and passed me close enough that her (then) huge, round afro brushed my shoulder. She was a great loss. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

daverich4 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Paragon Sight & Sound linked to this article in an email blast they sent me. Guess they agree with Chris. Because I’m not in the market for something like this I hadn’t read the article to begin with but I glad I’ve done so now. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment
