For the enjoyment of music. Lot's of changes over the years. I typically won't buy something unless I can listen to it in my system. Spending a lot of time recently searching out well recorded and interesting music via hi res downloads. I have a really nice vinyl collection mostly Jazz and pop. Digital I'm filling out my classical titles and more modern recordings. Jan '16

Just heard the Aviors at our mutual friend's house yesterday. Wow! I don't think I've ever heard speakers disappear like that. I really need to get over to your house and listen to the room and the Altairs.
Can't wait to hear the final result. Yep, we're going to the race. Not sure what the current ticket situation is, but I'm sure there are some around. Things are good.
Hi, I bought a Cardas Lightening that Casey brought over. I think the sound in my room is the best it's going to get w/o spending significant $s and I'm not ready to do that yet. Let me know when the room is finished.
Yeah, that car is a beast. I've had it a year and am still intimidated. Take care.
Hi John, when do you plan on being finished? I'd love to come over and hear the results. By the way, I bought your old U clock. Wish I'd gotten one sooner.
Hmmmm....I hadn't thought of racing for those pink slips too :-). Hey, we recently were with Casey and he told me you had a Bonfire of the Vanities moment?
Hi John, Glad to see that you're going after the room. As many people have commented earlier, and as you have heard, that investment in time and $s will return huge dividends. Can't wait to hear the finished product!
Just saw your response from months ago. Yeah come on by. We'll take my new car for a spin too. I'm not saying, it'll be a surprise, but yeah, bring the white knuckle protectors for sure!
Hi John, Really enjoyed listening to your system last week and checking out the Silverstone rack and Allserts, also the GTS. Thanks for having us over.
