Las Vegas

WOW, I have not checked the forum in months. I gave up thinking I would be the first and last member.
Ehart, I auditioned the Vandersteens at PHE but bought out of town. PHE seemed very fixed on their price and were ~$500 off. I bought two Kimber power cords from Kim and she gave me a very fair price.
Dbx, welcome!! I always check in with Richard at Abbotts. He is both very knowlegable and straight forward. He is an audiophile first, and a salesman second. They do deal with Aq cabling and I use Python ic's throughout. I hope to audition an Anaconda sometime soon.

A Native Las Vegan, Music Will Always Be An Escape From Reality In A Sense. A Fine Recording, And Reproduction Will Place You In Another Realm. Reality At This Point Will Become A Distraction. To Truly Appreciate A Masterpiece, You Must Be Attentive And Commit The Time To Experience What Was Conveyed By The Composer, Arranger, Performer, Producer, And Recording Engineers. Music Can Take You To A Time Or Place In Your Memories, Or Fantasys, Its Your Choice. There Are Very Few Who Actually Get To Experience A Pristine Recording, As All Commercial Broadcasts Are Altered, As Are The Compressed Formats Available For Download. Note: Any Digital Recording Is A Compromised Format.
