Thanks Dan.  Likewise I would enjoy listening to your system I'm sure.  Too bad we are on opposite coasts!

Lots of changes in the 4 years since I last updated my system.  The speakers may look the same but they now have Western Electric 32A horns and different YL Acoustic drivers.  My main amps are now ...

New York Aciustics?  That really brings back memories.  I bought a lot of drivers from Jim Cox and he was gracious enough to spend many hours on the phone with me as we discussed different options....

Yes, more details on the FMI Little Maestro please.  I sort of lost track of FMI during Bob's later years.  The last model I heard was an early Premiere but I know he continued with various models ...

Chris, are you saying you tried a 6SN7 in place of the 6EM7?  They are NOT comparable tubes.  The 6EM7 is what is sometimes called a dissimilar tube; it has two triode sections but they are differe...

Very nice looking system!  What finish is that on the Harbeths?  And what type of equipment cabinet are you using?  They both look great.

Besutiful system indeed!  And I am sure it sounds as good as it looks. Having Audio Note gear throughout should provide a special synergism.

Preconceptions can be dangerous.  In the past, I have preferred the sound of AC heating for preamp and power amp tubes instead of DC heating.  Therefore, when I revised my phono preamp to use ...

I made an interesting change to my phono preamp, changing the second stage tube from a 5687 to either a 27 or 56.  I have a lot of 27 tubes left over from my Emotive Erato days, and it's been ...

Very nice looking system!  I really like the look of the low-slung 2-shelf rack.  Is it really an IKEA?

I recently added Audio Note ISIS power cords for my linestage and power amps.  They are a very nice addition---smooth, neutral, detailed and dynamic.

I have been experimenting with the new Audio Note Silver Tantalum resistors in a few critical places.  So far they have been a distinct improvement over the resistors used previously which include ...
