    Help with choosing a streamer.

    Thank you Sablon Audio, Realistically I don't think that I will ever be able to afford a Taiko product but I will be at The Munich Show and have confirmed that they will be demonstrating there also. I am attending specifically to learn about streamers and I will be sure to stop by his booth. Mark
