I have just confirmed the existence of the next budding audiophile and I photos to prove it!

You see, my wife is pregnant with our first child and today was the day where we both found out what it is. Well, we saw a third leg!

Yessiree, It's a Boy!!!

You couldn't slap the smile off my face right now with a 747 to the cheek. :D:D:D

Pic's to come later. I have some family and friends to notify. Oh, his name will be Aiden James Reitz and I'm thinkin' "Scooter" for a nickname. Man, if y'all could see me right now........I'm on cloud nine, bouncin' off the walls!!!

    Congrats, Treitz3 - Now get your main system ready for those sleepless nights. :-)

    I remembered when we found out our first born son too, so I can relate the jubilation.

    Congrats again.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
