D'Agostino vs. Ayre
Great review imgood.I, too, dislike having to manhandle my power cords and interconnects. Though some of the blame should be directed at the cord and cable manufacturers. Why make something so unwieldy that it will not be able to used?Considering ...

D'Agostino vs. Ayre
@tomic601 Sorry for not responding, but I am in my busy season. I really am a gardener. I have don't have the CT Treo's, just the plain vanilla ones (from ctsooner). Moving from my DNA-1 with gold upgrades/RLD-1 to the Atma MA-1/MP-3 was like ha...
