    Daggum, give us more notice! I'd love to make it down and hear your rig.

    I'll have to pass this time, but LMK when is a good time to take a rain check.
    ~ 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. ~

    ~ I have found excellence ~

    ~ The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction ~

    Anyone is welcome to let me know when they are in town and we can have a mini meet even if its only one person. I never get tired of audio.

    For those of you who were at January 19th's meet in San Antonio and listen to these speakers that Fred brought. He gave them to me and I'm refinishing them. Here is a before and after shot.

    The ones I refinished are Dynaco A-25. The 1969 Scanspeak version.
