Good morning, I am a former US Marine that was introduced to the world of Hi-Fi back in 1983, and I have been an Audiophile ever since. Since I have been home during this CRAZINESS I've been "ODing" on YouTube and I have discovered the World Of DIY. Not only have I had the chance to speak with Danny from G-R Research, but I did not realize that all of the monies we as audiophiles put into this hobby in some cases are being over-charged for less than adequate equipment. I am NOT on here to bash ANY manufacturer in the least. I am simply glad I have found a forum that has opened my eyes to a new way to do what I love.
