You really have to move fast with this thread. No time to gather your thoughts. It makes sense that I was beaten to the punch by someone named Bullitt.   LP

Grey9hound,Congratulations on your soon to be arrival. I hope your wife likes the red, rather than seeing red!I'm curious when you placed your order? I ordered my Electrons in standard gray exactly one month ago today. My instincts after an e-mail...

Hi Lula,Yes, a lot of strong similarities to our quests.Eric mentioned to me that aside from the frequency benefit on the extremes of the D.I.'s that the 2 models are about the same. I'm fine with a true 30 hz low end and in my case being 65 years...

Mikelavigne,"I'm sure you know the buyers of these amps well enough to judge their primary motivations"How many references do you require?     LP

Hi Al,Great back check to the 7-17 post.I'm sure I fit into the don't utilize 105db peaks at my 6' seating positions. It sure would have been easier with all of this if I would have just choosen the D.I.'s. instead of the Electrons.Several risks f...

Hi Al, The amp you sent the specs on is the same MKII version but Triode told me the input impedance is 220K. They said they can make it 100K but it would hurt the bass.The Truth recommends 100K or more if I remember right.Will that be a benefit f...

Hi Al,I just want to mention one thing that's kind of bizarre about the Truth. The volume control only goes to about 2:00. Until you get to about 10:00 you hear almost nothing. At noon it's to low for real listening and then begins to accelerate. ...
