Myles was gracious enough to invite me over to his house today on my trip to NYC. We spent almost four hours listening to a wonderful selection of LPs and tapes. A few observations to share:

1. Myles has assembled a spectacular sound system of Zellaton speakers and Goldmund electronics. Superb disappearing act on the Zellatons and a beautiful purity of tone across every source we listened to. Really special sound. Very fast and excellent bass.

2. The modified Technics and Doshi tape pre sounded amazing. A wonderful tape source in every respect. Also, his Avenger Direct with SAT tonearm and Lyra Atlas SL, record playback was superb.

3. The 15 ips tapes from Chad, Yarlung, The Tape Club, Nagra all sounded wonderful. Lots to explore in tape world!

With Myles advice and counsel, I have a much better idea of which tapes to buy and perhaps which turntable to buy as well.

Many thanks Myles and Heidi!
