Alexberger, You are sure right about that.  I have Don Sachs new preamp and his shoebox 300b monos and swapped out my Cube Audio Jazzon speakers for a pair of updated AR 2ax speakers and they sound extremely musical.  A great front end yields ben... 
JBL K2 S9900 vs Klipsch Heritage Jubilee Horn Speakers.
I heard the Jubilees at the sole high end audio store in Sacramento and my jaw dropped, sublime sounding speakers.  At ~$35K for a pair, they are a veritable bargain for their SQ.    
Can DDC of another brand be used on Denafrips Dac?Audio GD etc
A further thought.  My audio pal just got the Berkeley DDC unit and I will be keen to compare how my $500 device compares to his $2500 unit.  I imagine all these DDC devices have a high degree of efficacy.

Gents, Thanks for the responses.  The I2S connection that the La Voce has is compatible with other Aqua gear, but not with many others.  I connected the U18 via an AES EBU cord and I can say that it is plug and play with my iMac as the source.  ... 
Female spade crimp connectors for AR 2ax speakers source?
Actually, I am looking for the female connectors from the wire to the tabs on the drivers and I guess the proper crimping tool.  At any rate, thanks for the suggestion.   
Ordered a Willsenton R300
This is curious.  I am a Prime member and have never had a problem with a return.  Sorry to hear of your experience.    
***Seasons Greetings A'goners***Are You Getting Any New Gear For Christmas***
Yep, I am getting Don Sachs new preamp to pair with his 300b monos, financed by the sale of my Dynaudio C1 Signatures.  Hint, hint.

Has anyboyd used this amp, your thoughts on it
I am very happy with my Willsenton 300b integrated amp, with a headphone Jack and 8 wpc.  It cost $1500.  As good as it is, I will upgrade the caps when it comes off warranty.  Even stock, it is a dandy amp, with a fit and finish that belies its m... 
New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan
Jaytor, Excellent summary of your listening experience.  I have heard Spatials with LTA more than once and I had the same impression as you did. At the PAF, the front end of the Spatials with Don and Lynn's gear and the stellar Lampizator DAC was... 
New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan
I am with Audioman on this one.  My M4TM's have resided about 16" from a well-treated back wall and they sound sensational.  I moved them further out many times, but the result was that I only loss bass response .  Easy for me to say the Spatials ...

Very interesting discussion about gear sold on one side of the Atlantic and that sold on the other side.  Reading the British hifi magazines, I have always been curious why they and the Europeans fancy such different gear than we do in the US.  Na...
