Kinki on a Sunday - let us see.....
No. I sold the NAT. On terms of safety (electrical) its not a good design. The bottom plate is a cheap thin metal board. When you lift the amp the board touched some electrolytic caps and you get dangerous high power through your body. I swap it w... 
MHDT or Border Patrol
I have a Pagoda, single ended. Very happy for the sound. Neutral yet organic super detailed in both frequency ends. Got hold of a new production JJ 6386 tube listed in class 1 by the designer Jiun. http://mhdtlab.com/tube.htm. This change lifted t...

Most annoying post period
@elizabeth exactly your point cover the question in this thread. It is developing more and more to be a club of angry selfproclaimed personal jesuses. These will probably claim their right of free speach etc. And add “just skip to the next post......

Affordable integrated pure class A?
Kinki Studio EX-M1, first 10 watt is in class A. This is typical more than enough with speakers having average sensitivity. In AB it delivers 215 rock steady watts in to 8 ohm. 
Where do cables upgrades have the most impact?
Speaker cables wuld be my recommendation. Make sure that size and length match the amplifiers electrical performance. When this is done it ie easier to listen between the different interconnect cables. Best Mik 
Any good reasons to use transistor phono stage and line level preamp instead of tube ?
I'm in the middle of a amp test drive at the moment. The test is not to choose between tubes or SS. I am a fan of both but tend more to favour tubes. I agree with some of you in here that you today can voice a tube amp to sound as a SS and the oth...

Well tonight I'm steaming salmon, ginger, garlic, chili, pok choy and then top it up with just enough soy sauce from Megachef - did I misunderstood the thread?? Inspired by another thread here I loaded my Cowboy Junkies playlist, shoot down all el... 
Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
I have an experience I want to share with you guys. Yes it also takes time to break in a new cable. When it is broken in then don't feel safe like that when you buy second hand. I have bought second hand speakers and cables around the country (Den... 
Thiel Owners
For Thiels I would try a Kinki Studio EX-M1 or the new monos that they are about to release. They are neutral sounding have a good grip of the drivers. Users of Kinki rate them in same region as Pass, Nagra and Goldmund.I have a set of Mirage M7Si...
