Where oh where can my M55 be???




Things are sounding a bit better in System B, I think. Last night I took the tube buffer off-line, replaced the Solar Wind CD-> amp connection with a Kimber Hero, and plugged it all into the Furman (which is intended for System A, as it has many more outlets). But System A is still unresponsive, I needed to test out the Furman so I could leave the sellerAudiogon feedback, and HOPEFULLY the M55 will show up today. I don't know what's up with UPS - I have a tracking number and it was supposed to arrive yesterday, but the website isn't showing me where it is. Maybe just FedEx does that.

In Happy System News, I need to replace the remote for the Rotel CD player, as a battery went bad and corroded one of the contacts. Customer service told me I needed to call B&W/Classe/Rotel tech support, and it would cost $45, plus $10 shipping. So I called yesterday, and the guy shipped it to me for a total cost of $0, saying he did it under warrenty. Sweet!

The pictured CD is Toumani Diabate's New Ancient Strings, a VERY nice-sounding work, recorded live in a marble hall in Bamako. Recommended!
