Obviously, and your work speaks for itself. However, please be prepared to take it on the chin from some of your reviewers, as we continue coping with the shocking and revolutionary change in the way we're hearing music now. Old habits die hard, and if you've been abused by a lot of spurious digital noise and wild and wooly jitter throughout the years, once you get released from the torture chamber, sometimes you feel like you miss your torturers (a.k.a. the Stockholm syndrome
On the downside, I'm beginning to detect a bit of a bad news. I have a nagging feeling now that my digital transport (fully modded Squeezebox Touch, or SBT for short) is really not up to the snuff when feeding the Bushmaster. I think my bottleneck may be upstream at this point. Seems to me that I'll need to upgrade the transport, but I have no idea to what.
Now, that upgrade is certainly not going to end up being pocket change for me, that's for sure.
Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?
