    snoop, that guys got a stunninlgy beautiful home (check out his previous system for more pictures) - but I bet all those reflective surfaces make for a compromise in the sound quality.

    Agreed! The diversity of kit out there is quite amazing, but some of the environments raise an eyebrow or two!

    When I was a lad....

    ...people spoke in reverence of the Breuer.

    Even now I can't find a picture of one.

    Lovely thread....a beautiful journey to poverty.
