Stereo Times Review on the SPL s900 amplifier
Hey ddafoe, Without copping out on your question, both the 5.5 and s900 are superlative amplifiers. The 5.5 has a very neutral presentation overall with beautiful timbres/tonality The s900 also has great pristine colors with a smidgen of over all... 
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
Hey Wig, Don't know if the review pair were broken in or not. However, have scores of hours on them now and really have not noticed a significant difference in their performance. So, either they had hours on them already or it does not take very ... 
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
Finally got my review pair in last week. So far regarding build quality, and more importantly performance, this is a very musical speaker that does everything right with no major flaws at all. I also think they are very reasonable priced for what ...

Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey Don, The Aero sounds great being driven by a Coax/SPDIF cable. Start with your Rotel as a transport with a good SPDIF cable and I'm sure you will be very pleased. Then you could later on add a dedicated transport and better digital cable. Rem...

Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey soix, Totally agree with you, if Don likes AZ cables, the AZ MC2 would be a great addition. Of course CD transports make a difference regarding the performance of the DAC they are driving. I consider myself some what of a connoisseur regardi... 
Review on Linear Tube Audio Aero DAC
Hey Don, Remember the Aero uses a chip nicknamed the "analog" DAC. Two of my closet friends who are die hard analog listeners, with excellent vinyl rigs, love the LTA Aero because it has an ease, overall warmth, and relaxation often associated wi...
