Great stuff Ron… love the simple video demos with the supporting summation video as a format. Really nice balance of reporting.

Analog on tubes is still the combination that works best for me. This was a gorgeous rendition of Fields of Gold.

Joshua also played for me on digital a recording which he feels highlights the strengths of this system. Never in a million years would I have thought I was listening to digital. But, I said, that this is a comment in a vacuum, and the real test would be to listen the same recording side-by-side on tape or vinyl.

I revisited Gary's room today. I love Gary's big planar dipole systems, so, candidly, I didn't pay much attention to these tower loudspeakers on Friday.

I did not realize these tower loudspeakers are so modestly priced (about $14,000). I think the system is producing a very natural sound that I could listen to all day long.
