Hi Brian:

Is that your VV-8-8? I've always admired its simpler design, over the home version (8-9).

It's one of those "wish I had one, but probably never will" models.

yes, a long term project that I finally pulled together last fall. I posted some photos previously...

it really is a great machine (I love the more simplistic style too - as well as the functionality of the design, with that tray that pulls off the back), and that all metal horn I think really adds to the volume... it blows my credenza away.
