Description

For the enjoyment of music.  Lot's of changes over the years.  I typically won't buy something unless I can listen to it in my system.   Spending a lot of time recently searching out well recorded and interesting music via hi res downloads.   I have a really nice vinyl collection mostly Jazz and pop.  Digital I'm filling out my classical titles and more modern recordings.  Jan '16

I guess my email on Sunday was a bit late, and I can see why you were unable to make it over on Saturday. Too many new toys of your own!

Congrats!

Did you give the Nagra 845 mono amps a try in comparison to the Ayre's? How did that comparison go? Or were they too big of heat producers to be in the running?

Nice, did Casey just get those in?

Hey I wanted to let you know that I am going to throw a little listening party soon. I believe you moved to Austin, since the last time I threw one about two years ago.

I am aiming for April 4th, have the wife's approval, now I just need confirmation that my new top plate for mounting my Triplanar will have arrived by then and my turntable will be up and running.

I started a thread on Audiocircle under North Texas Audio Jam forum.
