The system is very nice. I had the opportunity last week to see it in person.
I was impressed how the 2 Pi's and the Cayin EL34 PP amp sounded together.
I'm still old school and have not quite warmed up to digital tuners, but I have to admit the Sony sounds pretty good!
Of course Colin's REAL audio system is still in the basement!!!

Yep, I hear you on digital tuners. I have 2 Dynaco FM3's right now, which are an amazing tuner, and a coupld of Heathkit SS units (those boys at Heath knew their RF!), and I've had a Mac MR-65, also amazing. I love analog tuners with analog dials. Must be a throw back to my ham radio daze!
