Head-ups for fans of AricAudio designs. His new Super 211 SET two chassis amplifier
I have just spent five hours listening to Aric's ultimate SET dual chassis 211 amplifier and have to say that I have found it mesmerizing experience. It delivered maybe the best taut, deep, tuneful bass that I have heard from a tube based amplifie... 
Review on Linear Tube Audo Ultralinear amplifier just went up on Six Moons.com
Hey bobheinatz,First, the XA-25 offers more flexibility when it comes to driving more speakers.  It really measures at close to 80 watts into a 8 ohm load.  If you do not need that much power, then it really becomes a "horse race" regarding which ...

If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hey acresverde,Did you ever read what I wrote on the other thread to answer your questions?  If you did please comment on what I wrote because I think it answers why I did not write a professional review and why I did not get back to you.  You are...

Hey Acresverde,Just scroll down about 50 posts on this forum page and you will see the thread with my answer to all your questions. Peace to you too, but I still think you owe me an apology for your accusing me of two negative choices.  1) Dodging... 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hey audioguy85,I'm glad that you love your Marantz CD player.  However, a "freakin transport" does make a significant difference when driving a DAC.  Furthermore, you are stuck with the DAC in a CD player, which is great if you like the sound, but...

Hey garrard,Sounds like your a real fan of my reviewing style!  Please, would you be a reviewer of my reviews and kindly share why you feel that they are a waste of time and offer no useful information to the reader.Thanks in advance.

Hey acresverde,Please stop accusing me of dodging your question.  I clearly wrote a detailed account on the thread entitled, "Jay's Audio CDT-3 : Impressions of a Great CD Transport" which explains why I did not write the review and how Srajan quo... 
Orchid vs TUBADOUR III - Help me choose
Well martin-andersen, you tried the FPGA approach, and if you liked the far more expensive PS DirectStream then my conclusion would be the Orchid would be a delight for your musical tastes.  I'm not saying it's the "greatest" DAC in the world.  Bu...

Hey martin-anderson,I'm the one who wrote the review on the Orchid for Six Moons.  Since I wrote the review I have had another two DACS in-house to compare it to and it's still my favorite for the reasons stated in the review.Waltersalas, has grea... 
The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up
Hey Toolbox, I have heard your PS Audio DAC and the Orchid, tubed the right way, does everything better that you like, plus absolutely no hash around any instruments/vocals at all.
