a lover of equipment and music for over fity years. now 61 with many systems behind me and two business concerning audio, imported the first denon product into the usa in the 80's. first system included marantz tube, then to mcintosh, linn followed then to vanderstein ,krell, cary and now into jazz with totem, cayin,etc. it seems that cables and tweeks are the rage now and i believe some great tweeks can increase with power cords ,connects, cables, tubes can really make a great difference these days more than ever. i listen to traditional jazz, some fusion jazz, grew up on rock, was a dj in atlanta in the seventies on fm rock 96. so in saying all this, yes i love equipment , music, especially live music, but hard to find these days...d_cwhitt@bellsouth.net...good listening dwhitt audiogoner since the early 2000s...
