Daniel, what a superb setup. Any plans for vinyl?

Hi Daniel, ask Angie to loan you some Kubala Elations...they match extremely well with my Elipsa.

No way! I just moved a pile of silver disks out, I'm not moving any large round black things in. Besides, I'm better with computers than LP players.

Wow Daniel! Beautiful speakers! I also like the FE Pagode Signature rack

Yeah, I'm glad everybody here thinks so. Earlier this year, I was having my place painted, and a friend of mine recommended this "color consultant". So I booked a session, and she came over, and she looked at the Amatis, and said that they were big cylinders of absolutely no aesthetic interest, architectural or otherwise, and I would have to paint the wall behind them a dark color to draw attention away from them ...

Daniel.......Color consultant? She is feebleminded at best. Hope you paid her exactly what the advice was worth, zero.

She & audio was enough. I visited her shop a few years ago and was treated very well with some fantastic demos.

What kind of fantastic demo and treated very well mean here

Yes, I am thinking hard ...

BUT seriously, your speakers are simply beautiful. Maybe I should get a pair ...

Well, all of the equipment in the photo, except for the computer and the Int202, is from Angie, and the delivery and setup by one of her guys.

I came across her store about a year ago when I was looking for a system in the 10-15 thousand range, I had done some research and had a list of components in mind, I emailed her the list and she came back with a quote at the low end of the range (including cable.) So I dropped by the store, she happened to be in, and she gave me a demo. Then I innocently asked, what's in that other room ...
