| Jay, cdt2 I don't understand why the Nuprime transports get so little love. There are several models to choose from, and they're sold by Audio Advisor, so easy to get and no initial risk. | |
| Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile It's my understanding that the issues that contain the Recommended Components section sell off the newstand in much higher numbers than the other issues. They're bought by people looking for a quick fix and have decided to take a step up from Con... | |

Until a few more of them are out in the wild in the hands of consumers, of course we won't be able to get even the beginning of something approaching an objective assessmen... | |
