Get a new unit and, given your long wait, ask the dealer for a loaner of some other nice amp in the meantime. He doesn't have to give you a loaner but, because of your patience, you deserve it and hopefully he will recognize that. Joel

I can't believe I'm going to offer this up as an answer since I don't even like opera, but Luciano Pavarotti. Second place would go to Ray Charles. Joel

I've said to Chris, it was this kind of work which first drew me to his website. No one I know puts this kind of energy, detail, professionalism and passion into these kinds of projects. I realize time is limited, especially for efforts as large as this one, but I look forward to more of these. Even if I don't build the same products, I learn so much that I can apply to the products I do use. Thanks for yet another remarkable effort, Chris. Joel

Thanks for saying what needed to be said, Chris.

JoeWhip, I often feel like an ingrate reading a really nice article like yours and then saying "But you should have included . . ." So with sincere appreciation for your work (and I think I speak on Chris' behalf as well when I say) . . . what, no Tsuyoshi Yamamoto? 🙂 Joel

I don't know for sure, Doody. I just know the recordings I've heard are quite good, in some cases unavailable anywhere else I'm aware of and the prices are very good. Joel

Don't ask me how long it took me to figure that out. You won't feel so bad. Joel

Look at the grocery cart. There should now be a number in it. I didn't realize that for a while. Then click on the grocery cart and it should take you to complete your purchase. Joel

JoeWhip, I know, I had to work with that a bit myself. Once you're on the Dizzy Gillespie album page for example, click on the page a few times and then hit the down arrow to move down the page. You should then see the attached image which I hope will give you the information you're looking for. Joel

My apologies if this site has been publicized on Audiophile Style, my search found no reference to it. The site is http://fondamenta-music.com/ Fantastic high-res music from artists like Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck and Bill Evans as well as some gorgeous classical recordings. The recordings themselves are very well done and, surprisingly, the prices are low for what you get. Enjoy. I certainly am. Joel

I'd suggest watching for the review that should go up on this site a week from tomorrow. Joel

It's wrong I didn't know about this, Chris. I must get this album and I must get it now. Otherwise, how can I be happy? 😊 Thanks for the heads-up. Joel

Very sorry about this, Chris. That's a price you shouldn't have to pay for operating a website and trying to give participants the best online experience possible. Joel

You're a good man, Chris. Enjoy. Joel
