Dave,
Glad you made it to Danny's for a visit!  Been too long at 6 years since I went down to visit.

Great write-up of your experience!

One question.  What DAC is Danny using in the system these days? 

Miss seeing everyone!  Hopefully RMAF2021 is a go and folks will be able to get together again.

He is still using Gary's DAC with the Wolfson board.  I built in a BatteryBUSS and it has my Class A output stage based around the OPA627.  Dead quiet and still does the job.  He was palying Redbook...

Penn & Teller Present Music to Look at Boxes By



MoFo CD

This is a live recording of the jazz duo that played during the pre-show music for Penn and Tellers magic show in Vegas. While the music was playing the audience was invited to go up on stage and examine the boxes that Penn and Teller used as stage props during the show to make sure that they were just ordinary boxes, thus the name of the album.

My wife and I saw this show then they took it on the road and made a stop on Long Island. It was great. Penn and teller are my favorite magicians and I would go and see them again any time they are in town. The don't do the most elaborate magic, but they are extremely entertaining, and isn't that the point of any show? My son is a member of the Society of American Magicians and we know how pretty much every one of their tricks are done and we still enjoy the heck out of their performances.

My wife was complaining that since I got the streamer set up I spend too much time in the chair and need to exercise more.

So I compromised and told her I would play LPs today so I needed to walk over to the turntable every 20 minutes.

If you are thinking "Yah, that will never work", you're right.   

 

Very interesting album. Being a longtime Steely Dan fan, I've heard of this album, but I've never actually listened to it in it's entirety! I've only heard I.G.Y. and none of the other tracks. I'm more interested now after learning how long it took to record it (8 months!)  and the many trials and tribulations the musicians went through - magnets, dead rats, and writer's block! Read the story on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightfly

Also interested in what the final sound on MoFi ended up. From what I've read, this was one of the first fully digital recordings.
