Thanks Devilboy. The Ncores mate well with the VS VR4jrs. I would think the Job and the TAP-X would provide a somewhat similar sound as the Wyred Ncore combination. Your system and room look great!...

Help me go hard-drive based!

Blue collar system

We all do the best we can do given room constraints. Not everyone has the luxury of a dedicated room.
