CNET story on my tube based system Audiogon too

Great story and great photos. This is what it is all about. Great Gear and Great Music! Kudos to you Emailists!

As for more public thinking about this....forget it...they will never get it. I suspect one is either born with a discernming taste in music or not (for the most part not). The trend in music is downwards at the moment. Ubiquitous music reproduction from subway station to malls to restaurants to portable sound has devalued music.

The only place I consistently find high quality sound reproduction (with proper dynamics) is on big budget hollywood movies...sadly most music today is compressed for the masses (to grab attention on small PC speakers or in a restaurant or car).

BTW....are those Genelecs that you are using with your Mac and Final Cut? And what are these mystery speakers??

ol school point to point wiring like the Atma's. You can see a picture I took under hood of the wiring in my virtual system.

Indeed I took a good look "under the hood" very very impressive....no printed circuit board runs; obviously considerable labour is involved in the beautiful construction of your Atma's. No doubt a pride and joy to own.
