Thanks Gilbodavid. My sentiments entirely.Jean has enhanced our audio experience in numerous ways. (Seems it's the same folks posting negative, non-productive comments which would be more appropriate in a gossip column.)

New TT ideas please
Hatari, Dougdeacon has hit- what I'm talking about- on the head. The Lenco is a fabulous machine in every respect to timber, rhythm, pace, tapping your feet, lovely clear highs, seperation of instruments, nuance of voice and feeling. It seems to d...
