Lee, don't get discouraged, postings about larger get togethers tend to get more responses and interaction because, well, there were many people involved instead of a couple and there tends to be multiple peices of gear swapped in and out and people want to know about how the different configurations sounded.
I know John pretty well and he is a good dude (he also makes great cables) and I know his system is very nice. I'm glad you two had a great listening session. If you're ever up Ft. Worth way feel free to drop by to hear my humble setup...
Have a great weekend!
