Re Sound Application. Does

For service or sale?

Either/both : ) Just trying to get a feel for this "quiet" company, and the person. SOUND APPLICATION has had some very complimentary reviews-but I haven't seen any from TAS or Stereophile. I'm curious. It does seem his products are very pragmatic; as well as "green" - ie no fluff, gloss or 'added weight'-to show 'value'. Also truly "Audiophile" with impeccable build quality and fanatical attention to materials selection and design.

If you are buying, be prepared to wait.

Jim's a perfectionist. He take his time to build/finetune and continually
improve on his designs.

The downside is - the wait and that each successive generation often
sounds better and usually without a change in the model name or badge. So
resale values of his older models may sometimes take a hit.

I have 2 of his 2011 RLS-240s which are excellent. This was replaced by the
RLS-240E which were better again (I didn't get them).

I also have one of his flagship RLS-240X. There was a batch of problematic
caps that he used and I had to send my unit to him for repairs. It took a while
but not only did he fix it, he upgraded my unit to the latest spec (think it is
now called 240XF) with no extra charge.

Thanks Dog. I'm glad you rate Jim as a perfectionist as it supports what I've heard. His units are advertized as not current limiting. How would you need/use 3 units in your system? Had you tried other conditioner? How did you come to decide to buy his unit? Thanks.
