Very broad range of stuff. I have only a vague idea what treasures are buried in there, but will get back to you on ... | |
A hard look at the effect of cables HA! No worries, the sub does add a quite a lot to any recording by Missy Elliott. Badonkdonkdonk. | |
Which components knocked you out on first listen? System 1. Revel Ultima speakers (not Ultima 2) fed by Mark Levinson CDP, pre and amps, in a stereo shop in Santa Barbara, CA.
