| Yanni or Laurel? On the link above, through a Mac Book Pro, Laurel. On a car radio, Yanni. | |
| Great Customer Service From Simaudio I've had good experience with Simaudio when a piece of equipment developed a fault. Other companies that also were excellent to deal with have been Pass and Bryston. |
