Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love?

I think it's little brother, the A-08S steals it's spotlight. I feel the same way about my A-08S that you do about your A-011. And yes, the Yammies are beautifully constructed and finished.

Hifly,
Three months! well it seems it was worth the wait. I`ve ordered a Yamamoto YDA 01 dac about 7 weeks ago(by all accounts a fabulous component). I hope I`ll be as pleased as you are when it finally gets here(hope it does`nt take 3 months however).

I don't think they are widely distributed in the USA ... being handmade components, I would guess the # of them even worldwide is fairly low

I'm expecting a A-08S in a few weeks (also have a Wavelength Gemini 45. Will compare the two and sell the "loser".) I think Yamamoto's have received plenty of love. Almost all reviews I have seen have been extremely positive (over and above the usual gushing every product receives.) The amps have a 7 to 12 week wait time and plenty of people are happy to put down the 20% deposit to wait for them. In addition, almost any Yamamoto amp that goes up for sale on Audiogon gets snapped up pretty quickly at a premium to what most SET amps sell for. I think the word is out about the amps.

Charles,

I would be very interested in hearing your impressions of the Yam Dac. Also, does Yamamoto offer any delivery timeline when placing an order? Has anyone posted a review of the A-08s yet?
