That's sounds great! I expect the Ella must be excellent. To tell the truth, I was shocked to find that Stanley Chu had died and also that I hadn't heard about it. He and I kept in touch, and wrote every couple of months. He bought some Pro four π's and some Studio one π's way back when. Brian Cherry and Stanley were partners, and I'm glad that now Brian has teamed with Kevin and are promoting their amps through DIY HiFi. Just a neat bunch of guys, and I'd like to see them do well.I've been bidding on some old tube radios. I'd like to give a TransOceanic or something like that to my grandparents for Christmas - I have a real nice TransOceanic and listen to the shortwave band on it almost every day. Catch a few talk radio broadcasts on the standard broadcast AM band from time to time too. So having a nice radio like that would bring back some good memories for my grandparents, I expect.
I'm anxious to see you and your new aquisitions and creations at Lima. I think we're going to have a really nice time this year!
