Thanks for the pics Steve! Sure more are coming

Thanks for the pics Steve. The Hugh Masekela LP in the 1st post brings back memories...saw him live in S.Africa a few years ago. Hugh's a good player with some very interesting sounds. No Miles Davis mind you, but still very worthwhile hearing live if you have the chance.


BTW, am I the only one that really dislikes the looks of the MBL gear....their stuff kind of reminds me of the Cadillac of audio.

Wow, that 25' wide placement of the Maxx3s were hard to imagine till I saw them in picture. Amazing.

And the ARC Ref 250 looks real sleek. Love them with the meters back. The local importer already has on pair playing in his house, his personal units, though I haven't seen nor heard them.

great pics, you get all the fun over there.
Everyone "down-under" is getting so excited because we are about to have our first serious hifi show in 15 years !!
