Hey gochurchgo,I'm not really trying to be a peacemaker, but I think Cleeds was not going after you personally. He was just trying to point out if your DAC is not at a high level of performance you would be wasting your money to buy a reference le...

Hey tvad,I agree with you regarding the individuals you mention, very good people, and great high-end dealers regarding their knowledge and how they treat the customers they work with to get where they want to in their systems. 
Stereo Times review on Audio Note UK DAC 3.1/II just went live
One of my best friends who is a dedicated audiophile and music lover came over to hear the 3.1/II Balanced DAC in the big downstairs system this morning. He thought it was remarkably beautiful in its tonality but was really amazed at the spatial q... 
SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs
Hey jimbones,I have actually had in-house your Wells Audio piece. The major differences would be:1) The SPL is much quieter and will give you greater clarity and micro-details.2) The SPL is much faster with more a sense of aliveness then the Inamo...

Being getting quite a few Emails regarding pricing and availability of the different Audio Note UK DACs here in the US. Well, I'm a reviewer and really can't answer those questions because I'm not in the position of being an importer or retailer. ...

No, it's not applying the approach that is used by the PS Audio transport. This is a totally different/new device for spinning CDs.

Hey Jab,The three transports that you mention I have had in-house over the course of time, along with Acoustic Arts, MBL, CEC, PS Audio and the Jay's Audio transport was better then them. Therefore, the Pro-Ject has bettered the Jay's audio piece ...

Hey Nonoise,I have the SPL Director in-house for review. Yes, the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 transport driving the Director's internal DAC delivers superlative results. So far, any DAC I have teamed with this transport increases the overall performance t...

Small Footprint SS Power Amps
I believe you are in for a real "sonic treat" when you get your S800. Please let us know what you hear when you get it. SPL is one of those companies that are relatively unknown here in the states, but highly acclaimed in Europe and Asia. Teajay (... 
Small Footprint SS Power Amps
Look at my StereoTimes website review on the SPL S800 single chassis amplifier. It fits the size you are looking for. It's made in Germany, very reasonably priced, and I made it a 2020 Product of the year because of its beautiful performance. I bo... 
New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier
Hey arafiq,I still think the Pass Labs XA-25 amplifier, for my taste, is the best sounding of the XA-.8 series, if you don’t need more watts/current to match your speakers. However, I’m not a great fan of Pass Labs preamplifiers. They offer excell... 
New Stereo Times review on CODA CSiB Integrated Amplifier
Well arafiq,I guess you don't trust me because I'm a professional reviewer! With all due respect, I can accept that. I have had the great pleasure of reviewing the Coda #8 & #16 amplifiers and the 07X preamplifier. I purchased the #16 and 07x ...
