I know that there are an infinite number of ways to configure a system and it was the most fun I have had in quite some time in assembling "my" system. I know that the inevitable urge to change my system will probably come too soon, but that is what enjoyment of music is about, learning and evolving a bit. It feels so good to have music back in my life again. I have talked to some very interesting individuals through Audiogon and in addition I have been overwhelmed with the personal attention given by the passionate hearts beating in the men at Rogue and Merlin. Everytime I called in with questions about their products, even though I wasn't buying direct from them, they were wonderful. Wow!! I feel like I have been welcomed into a family. Thank you everyone. The BMI Whale attached to the BAT VK-D5 SE has been a very special synergy for my ears. Brian at BMI is an especially cool ambassador for the industry!
