Wow, you do have skills- looks professional.
Now, I wouldn't say better between the two- just different. I know your system well and love it. I could listen all day. My newer kit just has me listening more into the music, if that makes any sense. Still, I could easily be drawn back to the Pear any time...
What about those cables? Aren't they silver? The DV likes that ? I was tempted to think that might be too much... Yet you're on the money with everything else, so I'm sure it must work...
