Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it
I am very happy with my Willsenton 300b integrated amp, with a headphone Jack and 8 wpc.  It cost $1500.  As good as it is, I will upgrade the caps when it comes off warranty.  Even stock, it is a dandy amp, with a fit and finish that belies its m... 
New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan

Shipping woes and a partial solution
Right, that logic is why I have a spare room full of gear.  I do imagine it gone.  
Shipping woes and a partial solution
Czarivey, A nod to your comments above, yet I take as hyperbole the notion that a properly boxed piece of gear should be able to survive a fall out of an airplane.  That would be infeasible.  These g-force stickers, if triggered, dispenses with t...

I was listening to my Spatial M4 Triode Masters yesterday and feel in love with them all over again.  I prefer my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers, but they cost multiples the price of what you can find a pair of used Triode Masters for.  The Spatial's ...
