SOunds good, Chuck. I am looking forward to your thoughts on how it sounds, after your mods. I bought one of these when the craze first hit. THe mechanism was way too cheap for me to look at it as a long term buy. I listened to it (let it burn in for 12-15 hours) and it sounded worse than my sources. So I returned it. I would love to hear your take on it after you mod it. -akhilesh
