Brian, I was doing a yahoo search on some component and your website was one of the results.

No firebird here but they are classics.

In college I owned a '67 camaro, 6 cyl, with a 3-speed on the tree. On the way to lunch one day the stick shift on the steering column impressed this one girl so much, we dated for the next 3 years.

Bought it for $400 with 67k miles. In the winter time (in Michigan) with ice on the convex road I'd be driving to school with the car angled about 25 degrees.

Brian, I was doing a search on the web and stumbled across your personal web-site.

I think it's safe to say that the between all the cars and audio (and audio upgrades) your lifestyle's completely out of control. :)

Are those older firebirds cars you own or owned? Very nice looking.

Nice web-site and I appreciate the messages on your home-page.

Congrats, Brian! I think the amp and speakers are a good move. I'll bet it great.

Looks much better too.

Brian, your number of system releases (now at 5.0) seems to be approaching that of Microsoft Windows and some of the other major software vendor's products.

My recommendation is to do what these software vendors now do. Designate 2 maintenance releases and one major release every year. This will help you to keep your sanity. And ours. :)

The Classe stuff looks good. How do they sound? I'm a very big fan of Audience cables and have recently switched over to bi-wiring for even greater benefits.

However, I would recommend at least one pair of new or used Jena Labs Valkyre or better XLR ics. I think the Au24 ics are a very good cable. But the Valkyres (which are much more expensive) may just take your sonics into a league of it's own. And this was just with one pair of the Valkyres between my source and pre.

Hi, Brian. How's the performance of the Pass Labs X 2.5 pre-amp?

Hey, Brian. I see your system and home are looking as good as ever. The tuner looks great even though it dwarf's the other components in comparison.

What's your take on the Audio Tekne speaker cables and what other speaker cables have you compared them to?

Very nice. But it looks as though your lifestyle may be a little too chaotic with all those heavy logs hanging on the wall for sound absorbtion.
