Thanks for the warm welcom, cmalak. I tried to update my profile with system info but I think my newbie status keeps me from doing so. Right now, I'm listening to Ben Webster (stereo) for the first time (amazing sonics and music) on the following system:

- Clearaudio Innovation Wood
- Graham II B44 with Benz LP-S (a killer cartridge) with Tara Labs Zero phono IC
- about to receive Schick 12" arm + Miyajima Premium Mono Be, and Atma-Sphere 208 + Triplanar + Soundsmith Voice Ebony
- Herron VTPH-2 phono preamp (Keith Herron and his products are hero status in my book)
- VAC Renaissance Mk III preamp
- VAC 300.1a amp (VAC gear took it all to a new unbelievable level)
- Esoteric MG20 speakers/stands (speed of maggies, dynamics of box, monitor imaging)
- Harmonic Technology Magic Link II interconnects and speaker wire
- Silkworm+ IC between VACs (AMAZING interconnect...puts lipstick on the singer, and smoke in the air, and removes people at the table between me and the bass player)
- Velodyne DD+15 sub dialed in real low
- Audience AR12 power conditioner and powerchord "e"s for components
- Symposium Ultra shelves and Quadraspire racks
- Digital = PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC + Bridge, and Modwright Sony 5400es (amazing)
