I just got my code and ordered a DIALOG, which as I guess most of you know won't be available in the EU until the end of March. I live in France so I have decided to visit La Maison in Paris on 29 January to see whether the DIALOG might be demonstrated. Ha! I even offered to be a beta tester and take possession of the DIALOG at this time but no takers! On the same trip, I am going to pick up a loom of cables (speaker, power, interconnects) from Franck Tchang of Acoustic System International (ASI). He has two lines : LiveLine and (the more expensive) Reference series. Should be a fun road trip!
