WOW! Very nice! A lot of cool upgrades I see (since this is an older picture you probably have even more new gear). I see you got yourself a Rotel Pre-Pro, sweet! I love the new look, those low profile audio racks really compliment your setup. Congrats on the new gear . Thank you for sharing. I'm really looking forward to seeing the new pix.

Thank you. I haven't been enjoying it very much lately - haven't had the time. I have my competancy exams coming up Monday after next.

I did get a chance to listen to the fourth movement of the Mahler symphony number 1 tonight though (San Francisco Symphony Orchestra with Tilson-Thomas Conducting - Hybrid SACD) and it sounded phenomenal. Wish I had an SACD player to get the most out of it, but it sounded really incredible - I strongly recommend the CD ( http://www.shopsfsymphony.org/item.jsp?item=02604&category=11) for anyone interested. Listened to it at near symphonic levels too

Yes, I'll bet it would sound pretty awesome in SACD! But good ol' stereo, as you said, does sound phenomenal on ML's. I need to check out that Mahler symphony number 1 CD sometime. Thanks for the recommendation.

I'll send it to you in the next weekish. Email ([email protected]) me your contact info though - lost it in the move to this apartment.

Cool!, thanks Dimitri! I sent you an e-mail with all my contact info. It's interesting how a Denon 4802 as an amp for your Aeon's woofer secton works so well. That's really cool! I'll bet your system sounds great bi-amped!

Later bud,

SV
