Hi Don,
To each his own, I suppose.

How did gig go? Well I would imagine with all the work you put in, in setting up.

It is going very well. I'm getting a surprising number of customers who DO notice the change in sound. All comments have been very positive.
Also, I am much more comfortable having everything in one unit. No need to even open the laptop except for rare occasions when I look up something on the internet and fake it, or play it from YouTube.
