Ian! Nice to hear from ya. Thought you dropped off the face of the earth. Gettin' much snow yet?

I feel for ya having to "compromise" your listening habits. Been there... done that... likewhen I gave up my nice, biiiig apartment for a small house and putting the maggies in the closet...

Anyhow, I made do with a Denon 2802 and a set of Athena speakers and a Velo sub. It ain't maggie sound but it does more than satisfy, considering what it is and what I came from.

We should be able to move in another 1 1/2 - 2 years, depending.

If you do think Denon, let me know. I got mine at 6th avenue for $395 on an in-store sale a few months ago. ...List was 799 I think. They always have some amazing loss leaders although since they went with the new, glossy Sunday paper inserts, not quite as many as before. It might be worth a trip here if the price is right.

Say.... Isn't Audio Classics around the corner from ya? No pedestrian tuners there? Someday I'll be truckin' up there for some nice, old, MacIntosh stuff. ...someday...

If you get down here, give me a shout. I'm only a 25 minute train ride (or 50 minute drive)from NYC. Goin' to the show this year?
