MOTM

oooh, and let me plug my favorite hi-fi gear from tiny Rogue Audio (almost
as tiny as MOTM : )) in PA/USA. They use tube designs, and I have been in
love since day one. Tubes with balls!   www.rogueaudio.com
I second Nathans words on cables! The Harmonic Technology cables are
wonderfully musical. My system is about 75% HT now (audio, power, digital)
Sorry for the OT, couldnt resist
