Sell Theta DSPro Gen Va???
Schotbus - The Upgrade Co. sells factory new equipment that David Schulte has worked his magic on. He sells mod'd. CDPs from Denon, Esoteric and other brands too, I believe. Check out the website and you will see what I mean.

Doh! Rshak...more fool me. Thanks for setting me straight. Oh well. I actually thought the sound was a little better there than on some of the other channels! Too bad. The music is great - especially when they get into something less mainstream......

Tweaks that convince others you're truly nuts...
Getting my speaker cables off the carpet. They are now suspended from the ceiling with monofilament and plastic wire tires. My wife tries not to notice when she comes into the listening area in our finished basement.She is very unhappy about the r...
