Timz Reference System Houston

by timztunz on Opinions Please

Description

I'm really very fortunate to have a system and space that are so utterly satisfying to me. I can just get lost in here.

3/22/16 Edit: Earlier this year I replaced EMM Labs DCC2 SE and CDSD SE with an Allnic L-3000 Mk II tube preamp and a Playback Designs MP-5 Reference SACD/CD Player/DAC.  I could not possibly be happier!

@Albertporter - That's a very generous offer! Thanks a lot and let me get back to you on that. :-)
You’re also welcome to visit here for music if travel brings you to the DFW area.

Surely I have one or two titles that are the same as your library. It would be nice to meet another music lover.

Think how great those speakers would sound without all that software in the way.

Seeing as how I live in Texas I’m willing to drive to your place and pick up all that excess software to help out ;-).
