Hope you are well my friend.

Hi Jim,

I am well (or rather getting on the road to recovery). For sure, I could not part with my Acapellas as they do sounded nice and musical. Moreover, its a heavy "investment", the highest I have ever done for a pair of speakers.

He did sold me the idea of the Jeff Rowland's Class D amps - model M501's, a far cry from the very expensive 300 series with build in DC conditioner. Looking at it, the PS Audio PPP perform the same (or almost the same) process, so might as well give the M501's a listen. He promised me a pair in 4 weeks time. So, I shall wait. Small, little cute amps with powerful output.

I am looking forward to your next visit. For sure, would love to have more time with you.

Cheers!
