My Trip To Louisiana!

I had a whirlwind of a weekend!
First, we dropped our son off to college at Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches Texas! We said our tearful goodbyes and continued down the road to Monroe, Louisiana. We got a good night sleep and met up with my client in the morning. He’s been slowly building his system with me for the past two years! His system consists of a Box Furniture Rack, Rega RP10 turntable, Dynavector XX2 cartridge, Auditorium 23 Hommage T1 SUT and cables, Harbeth 40.2 loudspeakers, Vibex Generalife power conditioner, Leben CS1000P power amp and Leben RS-28CX pre amp with MM phono stage on board. The last items to round out the system were the Leben amps and A23 SUT. I said I certainly needed to make a road trip to put it all together! The end result was very satisfying!

“Many Thanks Brian!! We have effectively nailed a two decade search! I just could never find the synergy until you hooked up the Leben and Harbeth in your shop!! We kinda took it to a pretty high level-NO DOUBT!!!!! Good things come to those who wait, as they say…..”

After that, the wife and I headed down to New Orleans!

Pool Party with the wonderful Sue & Jimmy Ford of Dinola!

Caught The Hot 8 Brass Band!

…and spent an extra day getting pickled!

Go Commando!


I just got in some Groove Washer Commando cleaning kits and the SC1 stylus cleaners. These products do a great job keeping your records in tip top shape! They’re not even outrageously priced! Commando $12.95 / SC1 $19.95
