  Boys, That Long Cool Woman has NEVER sounded longer OR cooler than she did on track 7 thru the new CD-6007!! I am very pleasantly surprised in the play-back. Is it REALLY OK to play the Sunfire Sig. amp full-throttle thru my Carver Amazing's with the ribbon update? Un-be-freakin' WONDERFUL!(No, just a test, saner levels prevail.) Clear and clean as freshly Windexed glass!
