Thanks and happy holidays to Ivan and everyone else at AAf. This place has opened my eyes to the new world of digital music.
A special thanks to Ivan for helping me (and so many others) with our stereo "needs".
Personally, Ivan helps me keep my priorities straight and not spend too much money traveling, eating, purchasing more shotguns, etc.

I second the comments, this is a fantastic forum. Ivan (and Rich and Dan) provide a pleasant, friendly and safe environment for us to indulge in conversation and camaraderie, and Ivan is the Nordstrom of audio dealers.
