Dan....I had a great time. I have more photos than I have posted. I may post a few more....but tonight I was wanting to finish the thread, as I had guys after me to spit it out!

Pete,
Thanks for the report.
Obviously you had a great time. Dan is a wonderful host and I was very unfortunate not being able to visit him again when I was in Orlando this summer.
Dan's ability to build extremely musical systems and finely tune them is a work of art and must be heard to be believed. And this is only matched by his kindness and generosity. Being a friend of Dan is a honor and a blessing.
With G's will, I won't miss my next occasion !
G. Bless you Dan, with Marlène and all your beloved ones and Friends ( ) !

Those are nice photos. But in the first photo, the C2300 looks to be a bit squeezed. How tall is that shelf? It looks to be about 9".

Another fine example of the friendships made on this forum Dan you certainly have made a lot of improvements and upgrades over the last 3-4 years, it will be interesting to see what changes occur over the next year. Glad to hear you both had fun

Pete, thank-you for an excellent read on your visit. It brings back some good memories myself.

As you noted, Marlene and Dan are great hosts and he will spend as much time as one wishes in either room listening and talking audio & music. Just a fantastic experience and appreciate you documenting it so well in photos and words.

Happy New Years Folks,

Bob

Thanks Pete, for sharing your fun, and thanks Dan for making it all happen!
I knew you guys were enjoying yourselves, but had no idea how much!
Pete- your review makes us feel like we were there, I guess vicariously is the best we could hope for, except I wish I could have heard it all!
Truly, these rigs you have going are amazing Dan!
