| Where does your user name come from? Mine is a play on Seurat, the french painter - when I first got online, back in the early 90's on Prodigy, it was bounced so I went with Cerrot. It has been my online name ever since. | |

| is ayre qb-9 dac better than cx7e mp? I have heard both in the same system and the QB-9 wasn't even close. The Cx7eMP was noticebly better. The QB9's biggest weakness was the lack of dynamics and slam. Very uninvolving compared to the CD player. | |
| Help me start off right in the reel to reel realm Don't laugh but a year ago I started my quest into reel to reel.
