It was great to meet you Dave. Thanks for coming over. I look forward to seeing you at our future gatherings.
Sol changed some caps in his amp to compare the two versions on my speakers. It sounded awful at first, but within 5 minutes it started to clear up and eventually sounded very good. He had to leave early too.
That left me, Shane and Richard to listen and chat. We had fun!!
We compared the modded oppo SE player to my buffalo. The buffalo had a more natural tone but was smeared and scattered. The Oppo was coherent and focused, but had a metallic tinge.
Shane left an LFD NCSE amp with me on demo. It is very nice indeed. Best SS I've heard on these speakers yet.
Thanks to all those who came over to celebrate the Solstice, which is today. I'm looking forward to a new year full of many happy audio meets!
Today is the shortest daylight of the year in the northern hemisphere. So on this day I can honestly say that things will be looking brighter tomorrow, if only by a few seconds...
