It is always a pleasure to meet Audiophiles from another country.   Technically, Bill is considered very close if we're talking flying time.  But by car, he lives exactly 1000 km of driving distance from me which is a good 12 hour drive from Toronto.

What was supposed to be a quick Audiogon transaction delivery turned into a nice "home visit".   "Come on in"   Bill said, "Sit down, and have some coffee !"

Bill's amplifiers were heavily modified by Bill Baker of Response audio.   They were basically rebuilt from the ground up, giving off very very nice sounds while we played the Jacintha LP.
