WC, it is a " sixth "sense that you possess, just like the movie. At the beginning of your journey, I felt you did not give amplifiers enough time to settle, nor, did you use any after market power cords ( even some under $100 cords were beefier than the supplied, wimpy cords you were using ). I remember a Plinius amp you were listening to, and for your readers here, reviewing. I stated that, Plinius, recommended a 20 amp circuit to supply that particular model with enough juice to run it properly. Your response to me was a bit arrogant, unfriendly, uninformed, and showed what little experience you had. You said something like, " no amplifier should be needing more watts than a standard outlet ", and " no way am I changing the electrical in my home, just for an amplifier ". I also commented, several times, that your listening room was too small, specifically during your ownership of the Neoliths. My point of all of this ? As someone with plenty of audio experiences, with recorded and live music ( beginning when I was 8 yrs old, in the early sixties ), my professional audio background, and, someone who also feels he possesses that sixth sense, which I developed, over many years, I want to say....YES, you have come a long way, and, in a big way. In such a short amount of time. But years ? How many years, actually, as it must seem like a lifetime. This post, WC, should be taken as a compliment, but I do feel, you have more to experience, and learn. This new, dedicated room, should give you most of the tools you will need, to begin your next chapter of your journey, as you know by my postings, that I feel, the room ( construction, size, acoustics, equipment / speaker set up, etc. ) is almost everything, when putting together any high end system, from moderate, to skies the limit, where you are at. I feel you should install the Neos in this new room, before they go, because, as I have said so many times, you have not heard them yet. Getting the room " out of the way ", is like taking a band aid off. I am so sorry, I do not know what has gotten into me, with so many ideas, and so much writing...Enjoy ! MrD.
