Hello Jeff

Thanks for the reply. That's quite the office set-up you have. I don't think my home system will overwhelm you. I have a pair of Dynaudio A72's as my floorstanders and a pair of Totem Model 1's as my monitor's. I run Classe 100 monoblocks and an Adcom GFP 750 Pre-Amp. I use a VPI Jr with a Rega 300 arm and Rega Super Elys and a Classe CDp .5. The cables are Ultralink Ambiance and the interconnects are Cardas with Eichmann Bullets.

Where I excel is my music collection. Everything from Indian Classical to Punk to electronica to old tyme country. With the majority being jazz and Western Classical.

I live out in the Kanata area. If you might like to get together to listen to tunes and discuss hi-fi. Let me know.

thanks, matthew

Matthew and Jeff

I'd be interested too. I'm a west ender like Matthew, and I'm always looking for new listening experiences. My system is posted here, and my listening room is always open.

If anyone else is interested please let us know.

Well the first night went well. Great music and good conversation. We listened to: Calamus, The Creaking Tree String Quartet, Bill Frisell and Bob Brozman. We listened with and without the tube buffer. Opting to go without the buffer, mostly because the buffer isn't burned in yet. Plans are in the works for a second night.

Well we have now enjoyed our second evening. I had a chance to revel in the glory of the Total Coincident Victory and it was incredible. We listened to an Audio Silver Night SET integrated and to Canary push pull mono blocks. I preferred the Canary but they were both outstanding.

The music included: Patricia Barber, David Grisman, Jill Saint John, Lutoslawski and a bunch of men singing pig latin versions of "Old MacDonald".

We reconvene in April to put my Totem Model One's through the paces.
