Just curious... Are you referring to the Art Dudley link, Mike?

Mixed Bag #3 is room 517, Robyatt Audio

See http://www.capitalaudiofest.com/p577.html for links to the mfgs.

This was a great sounding room, with OTL amps into very hot-rodded Quad 63s, playing Brubeck Time Out mono recording when we walked in, then Paul Simon Graceland. I usually can't stand that record, but on this system I was able appreciate the art more than usual. Pete commented somewhere that he liked the vintage TT.
