Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier

@teajay  Keep up the good work.  Yes, your experience and observations add value to these forums.  As do DIY’ers, dealers, manufacturers, distributors, repair techs, etc.   Audiogon offers a smorgasbord for those who wish to learn more about audio.  If a post isn’t of interest, just move on.

For those who can’t attend audio shows, this is the next best thing.  Where audio enthusiasts can interact with principals who participate here.

@teajay Re: my Concert Fidelity DAC-040BD  

Recent mods:

1. Replaced the ASC caps with AudioCaps.  Wow!  Better everything! 
2. Added a connector on the rear panel to accommodate a more powerful, longer-life external battery.  Now, it plays for days w/o recharging.  
3. A high-quality umbilical cord sure beats those cheap 28awg 12vdc battery-pack leads.

Your personal assessment of the value of teajay's information has nothing to do with the point I am attempting to make. If you think that a reviewer posting a notice of his review on an independent site on behalf of an entity which profits directly from visitation is not an ethical misstep then we differ. Further he saves you the trouble of reading the review by giving you his opinion of the piece in the first sentence.

Shame too. I just ordered a piece that he  reviewed and purchased in the last year or so. 

@teajay thank you for the honest reviews and comments. I’ve heard the Arno 40 and it’s phenomenal, which gives me comfort in your test. Question (which I understand you may not be able to give a direct answer to): I have a Pass SS amp. If you had this amp and had to choose between the Aric/Backert/LTA, which one would agree best with your musical tastes? Thank you.

@teajay keep posting here as you conduct yourself professionally.   We are adults and can decide to read or not read a review.  I don’t see you pushing hard for sales or readership.  No issue at all here.
