Zaw's tech is Mike Missel, and he is on his own now, in the Maplewood area.  I misplaced his contact info.  Recommended....

Another recommendation would be Jeff Jackson at Saint Louis Computronics, near 270 and Midland.

Both have done good work for me in the past...

Thanks, guys.  I'll drop Mike a note - he checked out my last one (a Pearl 1).

Well, fellas.  I found Mike - what a great guy.  He is alive and well in Maplewood and still doing great work.  He checked out my Pearl 2 and found a few (ahem) issues with my build, but nothing fatal.  It now is back home and sounds, well, unbelievably good.   

It is very hard to tell the difference between the Pearl 2 and my Pass Labs XP-15, except noise, ( to be expected because the XP-15 is fully balanced).  Sound- wise they both are sweet as a fresh bowl of strawberries.

Thanks, Mike.  Your the best !!
