| Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K? Mapman I appreciate the sentiments, and your perspective. I do understand too the slant of value by way of savings on preowned gear. Trust me on that The Thor preamp would surely not be here were I to have been forced to pony up retail duckets fo... | |
| which dac? Gmood1 Thanks for the offer. folks in my neck of the woods aren't nearly as forthcoming... in fact I've yet to meet but one that was willing to bring a thing over for me to hear/audition, and that was so he could possibly sell it. I don't get the ... | |

| Is there a very nice SS amp around 1K? ooops. Sorry. My bad. I forgot about the balanced topics of implied or realI see xlr's and think automatically, "Oh, it's balanced completely", and think nothing further. I understand there really is a design difference in truth. However I recall ... | |
