Chakster -I don't mean to create thread drift but this thread is as good as any-I would love to know a bit more about you. You live in St. Petersburg but how old are you and what do you do for a living if you don't mind my asking? And even perhaps a bit more personal but do you own your own freestanding home (I ask because of your generously sized listening room). And yet one more-can you comment on the audiophile community in your area of Russia? Is there one?
@fsonicsmith Hope you're not recruited by KGB. Anyway, in the current situation in my country we do not have to post as much about personal life on an open forum. But I'll tell you that the audiophile community is HUGE, and yes, I own my flat in the building. The rest you can check in my virtual system.
