That's the perfect term to describe it

It might take some time for people there to refine their audio tastes. I have several friends in Panama who are very sophisticated regarding wine, cigars, scotch, food...but not audio

I'll opt for the latter interpretation....much more fun that way 🤣!!!

With the world the way it is, being crazy allows me to not go insane!!!

As usual, nice posts, Bart!

This week I am off to Bogotá, Colombia and when not working I'll embark on SACD/vinyl/analog equipment exploration downtown.

This hobby is hard work

Hi Mark,

Just touching base, in case you are around. My family have rented a house in Valeria (del Mar) for February, so if you guys are around just let me know. We'll have you over for dinner, home made limoncello and then I'd drive you back to BA and we could visit the best audio shops namely Silvio's, Krell, Wullich, EMD, S&K and the like.

Hola Fernando,

Is it me you're looking for?
Thank you, but we'll not be around.
Visit postponed to later this year.
I'll keep you informed.

Un abrazo,

Bart

Fernando,...thank you very much for the great invite! Valeria del Mar I have heard is very nice and alot of fun....unfortunately we did not make it back to BA or Mar del Plata this season as I started a great new job on Jan. 2 and had to stay in the US. Next time i will see you and we will make those audio shop trips, have asado and great conversations! Feliz año nuevo!

Aha, Mark, I just reread the page before this one, and I see that you are the invited one.
Enjoy!
Fernando is a wonderful person.
I'm looking forward to meeting him in Chile.

Great stuff Mark and congrad's on the new gig!

Bart -I know you can go Brussels->Santiago direct, and would love to meet you there, have you meet José etc. But if you could spend a day or two in BA that would be awesome too. "Sería la raja" as a Chilean national would say

Got some vintage Dom Perignon and some Argie cabernet-sauvignon prepared for such an occasion.
