Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners
Too bad the Pulsar has no server anymore. Unsure on upgrading my Zenith mk2 It seems that Innuos will have full music servers (Zen products) and dedicated network players (Pulse products).This makes sense to me and a good idea.

@rickybrandt  It is clear that the Willsenton 300b SET is revealing and preserving the pure beauty of the music you love. Excellent outcome for you. Yes, you mentioned realism. That's what a good SET can do so well. Charles

@garyalex  Also, I'm using the R300 as a power amp only.  While it sounds great as an integrated, I have a Cary SLP-05 preamp that's just too good not to use.  The combination is amazing.  My first 300B purchase has worked out I am happy this ...

@carlsbad  The best amp I've ever heard uses 6sn7 to drive 6c33c.   I believe you. The 6SN7 is a renowned tube. As with anything the key factor is application,design and implementation. I understand there are many roads that lead you to Rome.I... 
New Project RS2T transport
Two years in they have just identified the problem.  Sounds like a bit of casualty control I can understand that sentiment. However folks who got the early run/production model such as fuzztone,wig, myself and others have had no problems.  It s...

Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System
