Description

Well, it has all changed again, I should just relist it as it has changed so many times since creating this as the "3rd" system. One thing is for sure, Ever Evolving has been accurate.

Are the solid logs harder to keep heat in? I know lots of people use split logs with insulation, but you're about as far north as a person can get in the US. Did you build the house?

My current bike is a Kingpin, prior to that I had a V92C. The new bike is much better. They made lots of improvements in six years!

Too bad the Delta series didn't work, but I guess our feminine side comes into play when it comes to gear. Looks are secondary to performance, or fulfillment. I've wondered how good the kW's were, I guess you answered that question.

Brian I have the Victory out if it's over 40, and sometimes I will go as low as 35 if I haven't ridden in a while. It's never too hot to ride.

I have an older Classe, and I really like it a lot. It sounds better than the Krell FPB 700cx that I had prior to the Classe. BUT that's my system, and I've never heard the Musical Fidelity stuff. Sam Tellig likes it which makes me want to avoid it. I liked him better when he was an audio anarchist (go figure) than when he became a Europhile.

That of course doesn't mean the gear isn't good.

Anyway, your room and system always look great. My wife likes the log cabin look, and so do I.

Brian I must have missed a turn, but one of these days I'm gonna find that place! It looks better every time I check on it.
How do you like the Musical Fidelity compared to the Classe?

nrchy

Brian since you don't have the picture up with the curtains open I'm having a harder time finding your house. It's getting hard to stalk you!

nrchy

Brian you are the paragon of contentment!

I hope you're buying this stuff on wheels. Your UPS guy must hate you! What's the longest anything has stayed in your system in the last six months??? Hours, days, weeks? Wow, how do you do it?

nrchy

How do you like the Pass Labs stuff? I looked at, and thought seriously about the 150 or 250 before I bought the Krell FPB 200. Why did you buy those two?

nrchy

Brian, I wonder what's more relaxing, the room or the system. I could get used to that! How's the veiw when the blinds are open?

Keep pressing on!
