Linaeum, welcome to the future. Another company that is very reductionist, if you want to call minimalist is Final Laboratories. They produce a series of components that are battery powered, kiss goodbye to power cords, power conditioners, other voodoo stuff and plunge some money in C and D batteries are most possibly, a pair of Fullrange horn speakers. I have the Final Music 5 and 6, with batteries and also a tubed power supply for the amp, they are astonishingly fast in the delivery.
I do not think that there are other companies that can ever surpass 47 Labs with their Gaincard. It is next to impossible. Most DYIers and other cloners try, spending little money, but their finished products and cabling is no competition with the 2 cm or less length of the signal path of a Gaincard. I mean, you need to be hardcore and precise to get to that short of a signal path.
A review of the last manufacture you mention appears in 6Moons.com Still, I do not adhere to the remarks of the writer who critized the 47 Labs Shigaraki. I have the piece and I can say that it is in a sense, aesthetically 180% to the Canadian company products.
