Thanks to you for hosting and to Chhaya for putting up with all of us audio looneys invading her home.
I was really great to get the opportunity to meet in person some of the folks I have been chatting online with for the past few years.
Tommy's new amps really impressed me. The first few Class D amp I heard left me cold, so I have pretty much ignored them for a while. But I have to say I was shocked by how small a difference in character there was when we substituted the new Cherry for the tube amp. Not only did the Cherry not sound digital it did not even present a flavor that I would have picked out as solid state in nature. And as efficient as the Zus are, they would have spotlighted any bit of noise in the amps, but Tommy's was dead quiet. Good Job!
And since I don't know who was responsible for preparing what food wise I just want to say hat's off to the Chef(s).
Jim was going on and on the whole way home about what a great day it was. He asked me to pass his thanks along to you as well since he is not an AN member (yet - I'm working on that.
