More Bad News AT Thiel
Next phase generally means "selling brand". Optima purchased NuForce. Maybe Optima wants to get into the speaker business 
Amp upgrade advice
The Nuforce is the deal of the year and it does not get very hot. The review of the Vidar seemed quite "unenthusiastic" over at Computer audiophile. I would stay away from the Emotiva stuff myself. For no particular reason. You'll basically have a... 
Anyone have/ordered the Job 225?
Anyone compared the Job225 to the Benchmark Ahb2 amp? 
Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?

Charley Hansen (Ayre) Passed Away
Charlie seemed as if he was laying everything on the table the last month or so at AA. I even thought to myself “ this guy is going to run himself out of business by pissing off every audio writer”. Now..it seems as if Charlie knew his time was sh...

Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions?
I wonder pairing the AHB2 with a tube preamp would be a good combination. I like how you can change the gain with both unbalanced and balanced cables. The amp, from what I've read, can sound quite clinical to some. With a good tube pre, some sligh...
