@yyzsantabarbara , cool! Hope it turns out well for you, what's the digital source though, PC? CD? 
DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more....
As I understand it, Lessloss actually uses older Soekris boards and costs a lot more. For anyone interested in a r2r should definitely just get the Soekris flagship dac, very affordable and apparently stunning. It's OS so wasn't really in my list,...

@ghasley , I heard the old ones. But that was a flagship I believe for a while. They are great for small scale acoustic stuff, that's why you see them paired with Lebens, they are made for a purpose.Basically I'd take that article with a huge grai...

I have no horse in this race, but I have heard Devore Nines, and they do have a sound, ie, they aren't neutral. And if that's typical for the house sound, then they wouldn't be good speakers for this comparison. Devores I heard are nice and fast b... 
Modern audiophile records
Cool, I liked everything about Agaloch and Opeth except for the vocals, just not  a fan of the growling. I'll check out Pallbearer. 
Tube integrated
Are you asking about it? BAT is one of the few companies that make balanced tube gear. Unfortunately they only make the one integrated and it's a hybrid. I'm not considering hybrids, as I do have a solid state system, I just want an alternative pu... 
Best used or new DAC under $3500
I wanted to try the Venus, but typically people tend to either buy the Pontus or the Terminator. The large capacitor counts (possibility of failure), as well as lack of reviews kinda stopped me. I know there's a very rabid Italian following but I ... 
Tube integrated
@david_ten , thanks, those do look interesting and will keep it in mind.

@wolf_garcia , thanks, yeah I definitely looked into the Dennis Had amps, but they are typically one offs on ebay, if he took custom orders I'd be more interested.  
Tube Integrated Amp - Help Please
@shaksfan , do you still have the Rogers, what's you impression? 
Tube integrated
During my search I've also come across Rogers EHF 100 and 200. The 200 uses KT150s but is out of range but I do see EHF 100s popping up now and then.  Any thoughts on these? Not a huge fan of the looks but fair enough, can't have it all.@wolf_garc... 
Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB
Asynchronous USB does not need reclocker, but can benefit from clean supply or electrical noise removed from the signal (conditioned). I would always placed the best cable on the clean side: reclocker to DAC. I think most modern dacs are asyn... 
Mea culpa for Uptone Iso Regen USB
I'm a bit curious about the reclockers in general, in addition to that, if you buy an "audiophile" usb cable, where would it go, from the source to the reclocker, or the reclocker to the dac? 
Tube integrated
@cellcbern Excellent suggestion, I was looking for somewhat boutique exotic stuff, the S6 or the Sinfonia seem great looking and around the power I'd need. And reasonably priced. 
Tube integrated
Also, I have Legacy Audio Signature SEs. I contacted them and was recommended to use tube amps at 30 WPC and above.  Though I have successfully drove them with a Coincident Dynamo SET, which is only 8 WPC, so I think 25 ish watts and above should ...
