No, Mr. Mojo, not what you're thinking.
So, I wandered into Excel Audio, the True Toy Store, to chat audio with my friend, Mike Rose. I told him I needed an amp and pre for my Harbeth upstairs system. He pointed to one of the ugliest amps I've ever seen, the Dan D'Agostino designed Aragon 4004 (400 watts into 4 ohms, 200 into 8) and asked me if I wanted it. "Sure," I said. He then sold me an Audio Research LS25 mkii for $450, another GIFT. These things go for quite a bit of money. I schlepped the Audio Research upstairs, but the Aragon is a beast, no box, so I can't slide it up the carpeted stairs. I will report back once they are all installed. What a generous fellow! I am so happy. That's what getting something nice for nothing does for you. Makes you happy.
PS Both were trade-ins. Mike retubed the LS25.
