Complete change in direction from my Vandy/McCormack/BAT system. More emotional than the Berning. VAC pre-amp has added better micro-dynamics, instrumental definition, three-dimensionality. Teres table w/Schroder arm and ZYX cart now pretty much all set. The music just flows.

So you got the Merlins after the extended wait. I hear lots of buzz about Bobby's babys. Hope these work out as well for you as they seem to have for so many others. Bobby seems to understand what it takes to put together a system around his speakers that makes music. Have fun!
