Personal amp evolution

Brian, of course its really me :)

Nil, I very seldom lurk, let alone post these days, I just happened to pass through the forums and saw your reply was the most recent and thought I'd say what's up! I've missed a few updates, but am casually on the market for a new amp right now, I just want to try something different - as much as I claim to not be an audiophile, the curse is still with me. Life has been great on my end, sold my business a little over a year ago, have a few small projects going now, nothing that takes much time though, I've been focusing on catching up on the time I lost with my former crazy work schedule. Planning on moving in about a year to a slightly warmer climate, driving a S2000 with not a care in the world, it's glorious. Still have the NSX? How's things with you???

Tim, Yes once you are audiophile, the curse remains-always. Well, it is nice to have some free time and relax and enjoy life. Me, I have to wait till I retire which is decades away.

Things are great with me, still in California, driving a 2002 triple black Boxster S and 2005 black G wagen. Never had a NSX, but that was my dream car in the 90's, still like the look of it though- a classic look.

I highly recommend Zanden 9600 monoblocks, a little pricey for a casual search, if you are in the market for a great amps.

Good luck with your search.

I don't think that is the first time I've made that mistake about the NSX, perhaps it is me looking into my crystal ball and seeing your future :)
