Description

Years and years in the making. I can sit here in peace for hours. Not bright, not dull. Once it starts, i'm helplessly stuck to my seat. I hate to say it but it's better than live MOST of the time. rare i go to a live show that has acoustics and PA that touch it. All acoustic treatments with Bob Hodas's help (works on systems from neil young to george lucas). lots of in room measurement and incremental movements. like hours upon hours......

The system took a massive leap when i replaced the einstein turntable's choice with the air-tight/lyra step up combo. the whole thing kills.

What is the Quadrature Z amp providing that the fine Vitus apparently lacks?

Hello,
David, you have a very attractive audio system, it must sound wonderful! Airtight and Vitus seems like a nice match, I`m interested to read your thoughts on the Vitus and David Berning amplifier comparisons.
