There is, a portion of the brain, that gets satisfaction by enjoying and reliving a distant past memory. For my part, it is getting into AM again with fever. Yes, the newer K3 gear takes the center position in the ham/computer room. However, down in the winecellar, lurks a Bauer 707 with is companions the HRO 50 and a NC183 with, of course, appropriate full range speakers. Now, there is where the smooth AM sounds are found. Cherish them, they are what dreams are made of.......
Never outdate and discard the past memories.
