Frankpiet-No,I am not a Chapter Audio dealer(I wish I were in the audio field)I am an auto service writer.I praise Chapter Audio gear because it is so damn good(great).Chapter has changed me from a all tube gearhead to their glorious sound.I truely believe they will be mentioned as one of the best(if not the best).Yes their new gear is that good.And their principles came from Chord.That is why I chimed in at first.
