I've heard Thor gear too, in a demo of CD players. I still remember clearly the sound. It left a vivid wonderful impression on my mind, but I cannot afford it. It sounds to me like Musicdesign could have just gotten excited and wanted to tell his/her friends here at Audiogon. I had a similar reaction to the Audio Note DACs.
Some of the comments in this thread remind me of the current state of America: trust no one, second guess everyone's intentions. How can we live together into the future with this state of mind?
