Serge, Bart, Dan, Allen, Tony, Terry, George, Vern, Mike, Mike, Aditya, Ross, David & Dean --

The gear has been on nearing 22 hours continuous - and they are almost as cool as a cucumber to the touch -- barely, I mean barely warm.

They have transcended into a new presentation -- they are extremely fast, detailed/resolving and much much clearer with awesome dynamics.

During the dinner hour, played a favorite and cranked it up mid level, not boisterous mind you, but mid loud I call it and everything is soooo much better than initially.

The soundstaging/imaging is jumping into place and feel there has been a very nice & marked improvement in the airy upper extension. Delicate & open.

The bass has a fast/quick punch which is quite remarkable.

BTW, there is another in the household who is super happy with the Dan D'Agostino monos/preamp:



Best Sirs,

Bob

Hey Tom -- if you call 4 1/2 sleep -- more like a nap. Hanging in there -- I 'm on a mission.
