    DS Audio 003

    I installed the DS003 and was amazed at the detail, clarity and bass. It seamed to be pulling even more out of well know records that I thought I knew.

    Vinyl score of a lifetime

    Pretty simple, he said make him an offer, I did and he accepted. I drove to his house, we hung out for a couple hours listening to music and he gave a couple more albums of stuff we listened to. We plan to get back together with our wives for dinner.

    * Did you watch a film last night (on Blu or DVD), and what was it? *
