Longho68,2 month wait?! I've been waiting almost 5 months so far. Hope your sell-off of other equip. has not left you "musicless" while you wait.Mick is doing his best to get these things out to people, but I think we should be realistic and patie... 
Acoustician in Phila/Delaw/S. NewJersey
I second what Rives said. Of course, I must qualify that with the statement that Rives Audio did my room and they did a wonderful job. It has been the most cost effective upgrade I have ever done.I am located in the Philadelphia/NJ area, and if yo... 
Slipknot1 & friends in New York & Stereophile
Thanks Joe. Don't know how I missed it before. As I said in the letter, Art Dudley is very much a gentleman as well as a breath of fresh air in his writing style at the magazine. Talking with him at the show was very much a highlight for me as well.

Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug?
What a great story!My own is not quite as good, but here goes (I think I've told this one in these forums before): When I was very young, my dad would listen to jazz after we kids went to bed. I remember hearing the great masters playing softly co... 
VPI Motor Upgrade Kit

Speaker connection for Maggie 3.6R
I found a happy compromise. I did not want to tamper with the spade connections on my cables via retermination. I also did not like the idea of the usual after-market adapters.Contact Magnepan. They have a very well made solution in converting you...

Ken and JB,Thanks for the advice. I fully intended on swing the azimuth ring back around but wanted to make sure I could dial in the VTF. I'll let you know the results of your advice.

Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
"A Meeting By The River" Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt on Water Lily Acoustics lable. All analog, minimalist tube mic recording of some sublime music. A blend of western and eastern musical styles. Wonderful.
