Bought into the whole "2C3D" thing on the cover of Stereophile. Bought Avalon/Spectra/MIT. Went almost a year in process as my local dealer was saving trade-ins for me as their arrived. Had it a month, hated every moment after having been totally floored during too short a demo and followup visit.
Drove 3 hours, traded it all in to @audioconnection and picked up some old Quad 63ss and Cary tube gear to run with it. JohnnyR really saved the day there! Cheers,
Spencer
