hgeifman  and Dave many thanks for the help. As I said Dave I am a "sick old audio person". Looking at doing this as something to try. I confess I am NOT unhappy with the Hegel. I am still contemplating. Best to all Audiogoners. Thank you for ma... 
Losing Touch
So, do you think our Christian brothers took a look at the cover of the record on my original post? I'm just saying. Look, all I was posting about was enjoying the music without having gear anxiety. Do so. I don't care what you listen to.
