Audphile1, yes he's quite an addict when it comes to audio. I visited Andrew in Westchester area of New York months ago to help him with his system. He loves tubes but does not own a tester nor is he comfortable swapping stuff out.
His turntable was also out of adjustment from the trip from Texas to New York, so I made that right too. Andrew has quite a few obligations in Europe, he says his 911 Porsche (40th birthday present to himself) was paid for by European audiences while he was conductor for The Dallas Symphony.
He is a VERY nice person and blessed with a beautiful wife from the UK and two beautiful children. I miss him a great deal, he loved Jazz and female Jazz vocalists like Ella and we listened together whenever he wasn't obligated to some social event, which was most of the time it seems.
Frankly I think Dallas screwed up not giving him the raise he ask for, we have another conductor but I don't think he's as talented. It seems politics is always screwing up art.
