Halcyonics under my tt. Wow
Tbg - what is the purpose of placing Halcyonics platform on top of a Mana rack ? Does it sound better that way ?

I have no reasons not to belive you. That was more of a joke. Should have put "j/k" at the end.

Andreas Koch ? The former vice president of EMM Labs ? Never knew that he handled the design part at EMM. Always thought that he was an export manager.

@ Maxx2man - Chord Red Reference got a mixed review from HiFi News (UK). You may want to check it out.@ Kops - did you change from CDSA to Puccini ? How do they compare. I know that you were a huge fan of EMM.
