AVC1, your right, i forgot about the Thor Tube Dac. I had to ask about Florence Audio technologies. At the Stereophile show last May, there were these speakers called The Florence Audio Poloena speakers. They looked like those Legends speakers. You know how the mini monitor looks on the Wilson Watt Puppy. Thats how they looked. I think it used a kelvar mid and kelvar tweeter. Is this the same company.
The best ones i heard are the Audio Logic 2400 and the 34, along with the Jadis JS-1. Jerry designed the Dac for Jadis.
Doug, there is a common thread here, I believe Jerry also designed the Thor, as well as the Altis. Twilo knows my admiration for the Audio Logic DAC. I think that the Audio Aero may also be worthy of inclusion in this group, judging from the descriptions of its sound.
Joe, I own the Kora Hermes and I love it. I'll have to check to see if my Theta transport can output a balanced signal. And I do plan to experiment with some NOS 6922s when I get the chance.
Rcprince, actually the late Howie Mandell designed the Altis dacs. I think you might be right, Jerry designed the Thor Tube Dac. Jerry also designed the VAC and Conrad Johnson Premier tube dacs.
