| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? I'm running a pair of the Telefunken E88CC from Upscale in my Aesthetix Romulus Eclipse. This CDP takes 1 pr 6dj8 and 1 pr 12ax7.The Funkies are definitely very nice. I would describe them as "clean".BTW: I too would like to hear the new Acute DAC. | |

| Excellent reference power cord made in Russia Now there's a point Chayro.How about a PC from a long dead relative in Nigeria? But we'll need a large deposit first. | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? If I remember correctly the Acute took 6DJ8/6922 family tubes and yes the Acute benefits from some experimentation with tube rolling.I liked Siemens CCa and Telefunken E88CC.Good luck! | |
