  After some dreary days, time for that morning sun.  Yet come afternoon, with my big tree gone that had shaded my south side, it's back to partly closed shutters. The system for this morning is so spectacular.  It gets better as it goes on.  The Riviera AIC 10 integrated is shining as bright as the sun, now that it has its own power cord.  Even with the new Audioquest Dragon Hi Power $7k cord, or the Isotek Ascension $3k cord, the AIC 10 seems to glow with its own Italian cord.
