Frank-thanks. The sound at your place was also not too shabby. I'd say the bass in your system is as good as it gets.

Thanks Dgad. Prior to the Brinkmann I had a Basis 2001. At that time I would have said that the Meitner front end was far better in both redbook and SACD playback. With the Brinkmann it is a whole ...

Nice System. If you are looking for a tube amp with more power, I would check out the CAT JL2. 100 WPC triode. This amp is the best I have ever heard. Beautiful extended highs, and mid range to die...
