Thanks xti16. I'm new to the Raidho family[*] and interested to read any opinions on how to extract the most from these beauties. MainzD8 would be a good step.
I heard the Aavik (at Axpona) and was very impressed indeed, especially when compared to the other "big box" amps that were littered throughout the show (often 4x larger in size). I look forward to seeing other members' comments on this amp, especially how the phono stage fares when compared to, say, a Sutherland or other such fine units.
[*] FYI: My mind was set on Wilson Alexia's - but I changed it after Axpona. The D1s, while smaller, "hit the spot" and it was obvious that the bigger D-series would just deliver - big time.
