SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
The Stereo Times website list of "MOST WANTED COMPONENTS OF THE DECADE" just went up this morning.  I placed the 07x on this list and hopefully my full review will be done by the end of this month.  It deserves to be on this list! 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
Hey everybody,Vlad will be sending me the SE version of this DAC shortly for a review for the website Stereo Times.  It will be very interesting to compare this DAC to the Mhdlab Orchid and Lab 12 which also use NOS DAC chips and tube based analog... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Hey Jafox,When I write my review for Stereo Times on the 07x linestage, I'll share what specific preamps I compared it to, to come to the conclusion of why it is a benchmark compared to the other pieces.  I have had scores of some of the most high... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Hey Brother Bob,Let's just say it was 6SN7 based and from a famous English company. 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Just got through with bringing the 07x preamplifier to another high-end music listener's house who wanted to try it in his system compared to his highly regarded tube based line-stage.  His response was a very big WOW!  Not only did it produce mor... 
The new NSMT Model 100 Speakers
Audio Archon now has received their demo pair of Model 100 speakers and they are breaking/settling in as we speak.  Mike Kay is experiencing the same superlative and special sound production that I have in my system.  So, if you are in the Chicago... 
New reviewing home for 2020 Stereo Times
I have got many Emails inquiring when the reviews on the Coda Technology 07x preamplifier and #16 amplifier will be published on Stereo Times.  I hopefully will be getting the #16 amplifier in the next few weeks.  I already have the 07x in-house. ... 
SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Hey Doug,See if this helps.  For almost all the recordings I listen to the range on the digital read out is at least 67 to 84.  To get to the "sweet spot" in my system the volume falls somewhere in this range.  Therefore I never run out of volume ... 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I have heard both and reviewed the Orchard professionally. Both are very musical DACs. However, the Lampizator costs $1,550.00 more and is not a better sounding piece. If you get the Orchid spend 50 bucks and roll in a NOS Western Electric 396 and... 
New reviewing home for 2020 Stereo Times
Hey stereo5,I have completely severed ties to Six Moon over philosophical and personal reasons.  I'm all-in with Stereo Times and looking forward to reviewing gear that I think offers tremendous value and performance at sane prices.Thanks for wish... 
Canary Audio Tube amps
I have reviewed professionally severe Canary pieces in the past, including their tube based amplifiers.  Great build quality, reference level performance, and very reasonably priced compared to other companies.Their SET 300B mono-blocks would be a... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Without being spiked the DI's over transparency and its tight bass extension are impaired dramatically. 
Publications and websites for equipment reviews
Well, I might be a little bit bias*, but Six Moons.com is one of the best websites for in-depth reviews of many different high-end and small unknown company's gear.* Disclaimer-I write for them! 
The new NSMT Model 100 Speakers
Hey t-ramey,I have reviewed four NSMT models.  However, the Model 25 Chorus is not one of them.  So far, all the different speakers have been superlative at their price points and I would assume this model would follow suite.

Hey Doug,Why don't you call Doug Dale, tell him I say hello, and ask him the information you are seeking.
