  Guys, again  just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words. We had a blast.
   We may be working with GT Audio Works in the near future, offering in home demo.
   We are anxious to hear them with the Arion Amps. Da juice, they need da juice.
   Would like to hear them with a David Berning Amp Zotl [ $8300] as well. No caps, no transformers just music.

It was fun to socialize and meet with fellow AN'rs, especially richidoo & his son Henry... we need to GTG more often! Too bad geography is not on our side.  :duh

Until next time... Pete

We should check with TomM, our club treasurer.  Maybe we have enough in the Audio Syndrome coffers to buy a "corporate jet"!?! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Bill,
    A corporate jet is out of the question.

How about one of these ... off of the CraigsList free "just come and get it" section?

Rich,

I'm glad I bumped into you and Henry!  Thanks for the photos of the Daedalus Athenas.  They found a nice home after the show - mine!

I should also say I had a great time with Bill Baker... his stuff is really well made, with great looks & superb sound as well... at least Binghamton is not as far from me as N.C.!

Cheers everyone!

I will second that. Bill's preamp IMO was the heart of the system. Just loved those Duelund caps.

Thanks for the kind words Charles and everyone else. The preamp used in this system was a Statement and does not use the massive Duelund capacitors. Those are in the Ultra GT.
