Are there any Tech Das tables in the Boston area? It seems these are getting some good reactions and I would love to hear one.
Bob Graham? He's the importer.
Bob's the distributor for North and South America, so he should be able to answer the question. Contact details here:

He's in Woburn - which is only a couple of minutes outside Boston.
Congratulations, Jack. Mine is now also up and running. The Captain was gracious enough to lend me his backup cartridge in order not to delay the setup, but after your comment I cannot wait for my Atlas to arrive (hopefully, next week).
Thanks, Joe. You definitely will have to come for some listening and I am still looking forward to trying that bottle of wine.
Phil, wife and kids still out shopping?
The most telling LP we played was the Quality Recorde reissue of Tea for the Tillerman, a much maligned reissue that's been described as hard, bright, thin and sterile and for good reason. Until last Saturday when for the first time I heard none of the criticisms leveled (including me) on this reissue. The voice of cat Stevens had body and even the nastiest portion of the cut "father and son" sailed thru without the usual ear piercing crescendo that characterizes cat's voice at that portion of the song. In other systems that "tame" this crescendo, there is a lack of resolution of the guitar strumming at the start of the cut. Not thru this system though, as the guitar introduction was portrayed so distinctlvely clean, clear and crisp. Amazing...
Yes, the QRP Tea for the Tillerman sounds real good. Nothing like those initial 'bad' reviews. Now we do not know if one needs an AF 1 to make the Tea sound good or what.
Nice to catch up, Jack. In the digital world that non recording related sound is harder to pin down, and it's good to see Richard (opus111) doing innovative experimenting in this area, trying to minimise what he calls "noise modulation" ...If we're talking about sound information be it groove, metal particles or bits on a recording making its way to the brain, we have to consider how so many electrical, mechanical and acoustic factors stand in the way in the form of not just distortion but also noise induced internally and externally relative to level. My personal philosophy has been about making everything as quiet as I can without the silence becoming unnatural or uncomfortable rather than building up a system that will defeat noise by masking it through sheer force
