Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Tawa, Are they being shipped yet? 
Why do intelligent people deny audio differences?
Lrsky, having several times participated in single and double blind experiments, I have no further interest in them. I could not hear which was the same versus different in 30 sec. listenings. Even one experiment long ago where we did longer liste... 
Power Cords--Your Preference?

Tidal Speakers owners
Calloway, I certainly have not heard a large range of amps on my Contriva Diacera SEs, but I was both very unimpressed and very impressed with the BAlabi BP-1 Power amps on Tidal Sunrays. The first be in CES 2010 and the second in CES 2011. Perhap...
