    Tom is correct.

    To be honest, I check audiogon daily for Rogue monos just to lust. I like the "more affordable" Zeus, but on the used market, it's about 5x more than I'd want to spend. However, since Ben tricked out my monos, I'm quite content with what I have. So when the next itch comes, I'll scratch it with another wave of mods.

    I think those things embody the idea of a block very well . . . and they put out 250 watts into 8 ohms.

    No upgrades lately, and none forthcoming for 2-channel. I'm happy with what I've got, but I don't expect you guys to understand. Only a woman can comprehend the space I'm in, right cfrizz?
