Wayne; No helmet law out there? Really appreciate the thorough description both of Link and his most excellent appearing and well thought out system and the personal imppressions of the whole experience. That is what makes it real for us who missed out. Very thoughtful combination, PP 6A4 and JBL/Tad. I would be interested in the particulars of that descision to combine the speakers in that fashion. The Mark Levinson is one nice piece, out of my price range but quite a contender for best sound in show! Almost convince you to give up tubes. You went solo on that ride, where was the better half? After a ride through that beautiful and reflective backdrop, A comfortable and peaceful environment and a music system of carefully chosen and compatible components with good people and an inviting home; thats what it is all about. Thanks J.R.
