Default Long-awaited visit to Ivan's will finally happen today...

Today is (finally) the day! I've been up in RI/CT/MA on a combination of business and personal travel and I am hitting the road to Ivan's in about an hour and a half to 'make my pilgrimage' as it were to see a good friend and his family together with all of his amazing systems!

Like any good audio-nut, I packed way too much material to be able to hear across all of the systems in a single long day but will do my best to hit the high-points and hear all the wonderful systems, post photos, etc....

A hearty THANK YOU to Ivan, Rich and Donna for opening their home to a travelling audio-nut for a day though I suspect at the end, I'll not want to leave!

Photos and listening impressions to follow....
