Down graded, with fantastic results

This is exactly what makes retail and marketing such a challenge. Because the reasons that one person buys are exactly the same as why another person won't.

I think ultimately, in this case Howard, although Bombaywalla and I might buy
the same amp for the very same reasons, he/she may be able to put more
technical words and labels to qualify the choice, whereas I may leave the
reason to be; "I liked the way it sounded better than the other
ones." I could further go on to describe why I liked it, and I could even
get kind of technical if I wanted to (not likely). I'm not questioning why he/
she would choose one amp over the Jolida for instance, I simply do not
understand his/her motiviation for interjecting the information they chose to,
into this thread given the spirit of the original post. It seemed odd to me,
needless to say (per my previous post)..kind of like bursting someone elses
bubble.

Right on, Marco. Totally clear. Bubble bursting seems to be an epidemic 'round here.

I was going to say that when I read in the author's post,

I sold a pair of Cary/AES Six Pacs mono amps, a Cary/AES DJH preamp and a pair of B&W 703 speakers. I purchased a pair of Tyler Acoustic Ref. monitors and a Jolida 302b integrated amp to go along with my Jolida CD player, all wired with Signal cable speakers

I would expect this change would put a big smile on his face. The Jolida is an all-day musical pleasure, as are the Tylers. Great marriage. Mazel tov (crush microphonic tube under foot).

Big smile here, yes indeed. Currently listening to Art Blakey and the Jazz Messangers - "Like Someone in Love".

I did feel that Bomb was doing a bit of bubble bursting. Still smiling! Now listening to Ryan Adams - "Jacksonville City Nights".
