| Plymouth Indiana I'm a little over 100 miles west of Plymouth and know a couple people in the Ft. Wayne, Indiana region that might be interested. | |

| Suggestions on used CD Player with Volume Control The Shanling S-100 Mk 2 has a nice built-in volume control that works off the remote; 1 step increments going from 0 to 99. I have used mine directly into a Classe 15 power amp and it sounds superb. | |
| James Gang Reunion Wow that should be a great time; last time I saw Joe Walsh, Dale Peters and Jim Fox was back in 1970 at Kent State. Talked with Dale Peters after the show; he's an interesting person. | |
| Audio Research LS 12 or Bat VK 40 Pre-amp I like the BAT. | |
