I will have to echo JLM's sentiments a bit, and add that the 'review' started out more like an advertisement, that I was more than a little turned off by. Us 'hard core' review freaks want the good stuff and lots of it. Dispense with the ads. Observations are of course what its about, but they need to be supported with comparisons between other observations of other (specific) gear etc. To beat a dead horse even more, I cant STAND it when a 'reviewer' uses crap equipment for the review. I had one of those old Marantz receivers not too long ago that I bought, for the jollies of it, at a garage sale. It sound like crap compared to 21st century gear. Sorry Steve Guttenburg and other like that, old gear is not always good gear! Like CIAudio said - we will wait for the 'real' reviews.
