after a month in the hospital with an IPOD and sony earphones, I finally listened to one of my rigs. Haven't gone to the basement to listen to the big 2 channel yet, but I have an office rig with an Anthem Amp1 tube amp, Anthem Pre2l tube pre, a California Audio Labs DX1 cd player and a pair of Rogers LS-6's on stands
listened for hours........with an all new appreciation for 2 channel goodness.
I know this post brings nothing to the table and I dont care......I have spoken

Enjoy the music! Welcome back brother.~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~

Welcome back LouPolitical Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Welcome back Lou, enjoy the music. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!
