    on your way thru indiana to chicago, feel free to stop by and say hi if you like...

    There is a store in Indianapolis that is pretty good if you like Mcintosh/B&W/Classe.

    Well,, you probabally know what's in Atlanta,, Audio Atlanta,,on the square in Marietta,,hit and miss,, most people do not like the "customer service air",, but Pete does know how to set up a TT. If you want to get into some nice custom tube gear,,speakers,,and amps,,,a MUST see/hear---Modular Electronics in Roswell,,,call Benny (Amina Audio--770-410-1122) or benny@aminaaudio.com--tell him the guy with the VTL's sent you,,, be prepared to be overwhelmed. Benny is very knowledgeable,friendly,and Reasonable,, I'm currently in the process of getting him to build me on of his tube pre-amps. There is another one IIRC,, "Sight and Sound" in Alpharetta,, never been there. Good luck in your travels.
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    Not a Modwright mod but nicely modded by a local guy with great results. He follows the Modwight but it has no tubes.

    BTW..thanks for the compliment on the system.
