The NA is spectacular. I want to stress my preference is based on my system. I felt the Tchernov Pro had improved, body, fluidity and smoothness. It just sounded a little more right on my system and to my ears. See my virtual system for reference ...

@thyname I received the USB from @gestalt. Colin is the importer/dealer. Yes the USB is better than my very best build. It is simply fantastic. I have tried top tier USB cables from SABLON, Hapa Audio, Wywires, Network Acoustics and others. All of...

Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers……
Thanks @facten Yes, I should probably clarify that statement. I was really referring to designing gear. I am good with a soldering iron, understanding parts and how they sound, and know how to build very good sounding cables for reasonable money...

@facten  You have some nice amplification! Just looking back at your system and see the Line Magnetic and Finale Int amps. You also have some Modwright separates. Yes, you need another intergraded amp sir 🙂.
