To Jeff Fritz,

Thanks for your work on the "TWBAS" column. I can’t afford most of the equipment, but it’s a lot of fun to read. Just my two cents, but how about Constellation Audio’s Hercules amps and the matching Altair preamp just as candidates for TWBAS 2012? For the source, how about the dCS Scarlatti stack?

I like your taste in gear, Dave. There is no question that Constellation Audio is a big player on the high-powered, extreme-quality solid-state scene nowadays. They are certainly on my radar. And dCS is always in the conversation when it comes to discussing the best digital components. I am currently enjoying the Debussy as my reference DAC. Thanks for the suggestions! . . . Jeff Fritz
