@blkwrxwgn , unfortunately, Tommy O'Brien has passed away... In fact, i also like the Cherry Amos faceplates, at least the dark red one if my Megaschino. Does anybody  know if there is someone who is able to deal with Cherry amps now (my Megaschi...

I think he meant this one , don't really understand what this may yield referring to sound quality, apparently highs are fine with this amp. I may also confirm that tomorrow  https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/lsa-voyager-...

@markmuse thanks for sharing your first impressions on Voyager vs AVA 225s. This is particularly interesting for me since i still didn't decide to choose Voyager GaN 350 or Orchard monoblocks. Your impresión is fundamental. Just saying roughly, ba...

Ralph, thank you very much for this, very, very, sad information. I didn't know him personally but we communicated a lot by email. One can say how a person is based on a letter exchange. He was always positive making good things and was doing that...

@axo0oxa thanks for this complement. You may still have more successful jumps, you never know. I made similar jumps also replacing amplifiers, and am not sure if more jumps are required. Compared to your tube SET amplifier, what exited you the mos...

Its easy enough to hear. You don't have to take it on faith. @atmasphere, this would be true if i were living in the US (it is too complicated to import equipment to Mexico for trial test, each time you receive a gear, you have to pay quite a l...
