re: the follow-up to Ferbose in post #39 .... I just came onto this thread, and I 2nd that. Ferbose, Fantastically put. I concur 100% with the ideas I already knew having been a audio hobbiest since the 70's; I found reading the remainder very very edifying.

I have neither had the pleasure of listening to many mentioned nor to the HEED CANAMP, which seems to be one of the best according to recent impressions.
