| Simaudio Nova or Equinox? Jh2os: me again, I have owned the Equinox for about 2 months paired with a Cayin AT88 and then with the Linar 10. I found it really dark yet very detailed. I ABd the Equinox against the Quad CDP 99 for a full afternoon and found the Quad more dyna... | |

| Cayin product line question The 50 replaces the 30 in the Cayin line. I think that $ for $ , ASL has a product to match every Cayin model with better quality and higher resale value. I owned a 88/6550 and was happy to sell it. Good but not a match to the ASL AQ1001 DT, cheap... | |
| YBA Initial Integrated It reminded me of the original Integre single transfo, less refined/blooming than the DT now called Clasic. I know that YBA suffered a dramatic loss of popularity and sales over the last 5 years and moving from 2 integrated amps (DT and Passion) t... | |
