Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?
Chad - I looked that one up too...you won't get me to see the New tube / NOS tube thingy. I'm stuck in my ways, so don't Rant. Not easy to make the Ol Madranker Laugh. Being somewhat serious now with this statement and meaning no disrespect.... I ... 
Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?
Wow, Chad (reticent) I had to look that one up... Not revealing one's thoughts or feelings. I babbled on for two paragraphs about your Yammi 06-3 question. Not sure how less reticent I can be. I like the EML labs tubes. I have only had the pleasur... 
Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?
This is Crubio's opening paragraph from his ad on Audiogon. I copyed and pasted it right off Crubio's listing : QUOTE " I'm the first owner of the jewel of an amp, amazing 4 watts of power. One of the most dimensional and engaging amps I have ever... 
Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?

Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?
Paul. Why not ask Crubio ( who no longer owns any Yamamoto ) what he moved up to / replaced his Yami Gear with. I think he mentioned to me Shindo... I can tell you about the A-06-3 cause I now own it. I made a few tweaks (Cesar didn't know what he...

Any one tried the Yamamoto A06 with AD1 tube?
I'm the guy that bought the 06-3 from Cesar. I do Love the 06-3 Yami it has many many more pluses than minuses.I'm also a huge fan of the 45 tube sweetness and tone. Being a Lowther guy I hate hiss and hash at idle or between tracks. I also Love t...

Airport Extreme to DAC
Thanks Mezmo - I have done alot of research and decided on a used 2009 model mini with a 128GB SSD drive ( no moving parts in my rack ). I concluded that it should be better because of the solid state drive and the detached power supply. I snagged...
