    Just get another job on top of the 3 you have..... Odd numbers are bad... even are better, so 4 is better than 3 :wink:

    Congratulations! That's the most precious gear you'll ever have in your house. A childs laughter has a far greater sound than any stereo we could ever own.

    Joey could use the soft music idea to get baby its first stereo. Pair of bookies with a nice tube integrated for a nursery system. Who knows what cables the lad might find the most soothing so some experimentation would be in order. If baby should happen to not like the Audioquest WEL then Joey will just have to suck it up and use them in the main system.

    Congratulations Joey. Fine looking lad. I am sure my father is honored you named the boy after him. B)

    obviously, they named him not only after your dad but the REAL all time home run king, all 5'11, 180 lbs of him, Mr.Hank Aaron, who I cheered my young heart out for at many a braves game when there was absolutely nothing else to cheer for
