My 12 watt P/P KingKo KA-101 delivered very quickly, 9 days after it was ordered. Just picked it up from the post office. Initial impressions tonight. Bill M

I took the plunge. I believe the exchange is $832 with shipping included. Delivery supposedly within 2 weeks. I emailed back and forth with King himself several times before purchasing. Very courteous and responsive.

Terry,Thanks for the heads-up on that KingKo integrated review. I found the Steve Hoffman thread on it where the reviewing author gives yet more details. Supposedly it's a very good headphone amp too, that can do a great job with the Sennheiser HD...

A couple of questions I'll throw out there to no one in particular:Anyone have experience with Linear Tube Audio AND Melody preamps?There have been mention of 2A3 and 300B SET amps. What about the 845's?

@milpaiSources: Theta Data III, Yggdrasil, Modwright Sony CD player. Actually iPad streaming through an AirPort via Yggy is better than I would have thought. Convenience has its merits. I’ve also heard modifying a MHDT Pagoda yields great results....

My pair was ordered 6/8, so about 3 weeks. Shipped to NY. Very impressive considering he was down 1-2 staff members for a time.

DI's in the house. Fit and finish, esthetics surpassed my expectations. Very nice indeed. The bronzed orange was a good choice afterall. I posted a picture on my page. I'm waiting on a proper amp still. Temporarily powering them with a higher powe...

1812's for sale on this site for $7K. Eric said they would best the Ulfberht's for live recordings and dynamics. The Ulfberht being better suited for more traditional hifi.

Thanks Kenny, that's extremely helpful. Very impressive performance vs. Zu. I should be getting my DI's later this week.

Has Teajay or anyone else had any experience with both Tekton and Zu? I'm also interested in the Druid V.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Yes, similar experience. I was briefly thinking First Watt J2 with 8 ohm DI's because that would draw twice the power from that particular amp (15 watts from  4 ohms / 30 watts from 8 ohms). Eric expressed that he thought the 8 ohm version was les...

Thanks for the welcome Kenny, I placed my order on Friday. Eric says I should have them most likely delivered to NY within 2 weeks. I ordered the upgraded version in bronzed orange (less red, more neutral color). I'm just as excited at the prospec...

Walter,I've been very interested in the LM-508IA myself, and in the process of tracking one down currently. I read how it had performance advantages over the well regarded LM-518IA in direct comparison. Have you compared the integrated preamp vers...

I recently placed my order for the DI's and have spoken with Eric several times. He universally recommended the 4 ohm version. I believe the 8 ohm is more pricey as well.
