| AricAudio's new Jackpot 5751 tube-rectified truly balanced preamplifier Hey Jeff, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Jackpot. It is a "marvelous" line-stage and a bargain for what it costs. I have already had another couple of preamps in for review that were quite good. However, I still prefer the Jackpot's ... | |
| For enthusiast's of Aric Audio: New Jackpot Line-stage review on Stereo Times Hey Mark, Thanks for your kind words towards my reviews. I did enjoy reviewing/listening to the Shinjitsu Audio's speaker a few years back. However, I have no plans to review their new speaker in the near future. | |
| For enthusiast's of Aric Audio: New Jackpot Line-stage review on Stereo Times Hey Slaw, I have respect for Herron gear. I believe that he is no longer in business. I can't tell you how the Herron 360 compares to the Jackpot, because I have never had this line-stage in my system. If I have my facts straight the Herron 360 R... | |

| Review that offers a perspective on / Sugden FBA-800 - Coda S5.5 - Pass Labs XA-25 Hey jwr159, If you look at the speakers I used in the review on FBA-800, very different designs, the take is that the amplifier will sound excellent with virtually any speaker. I think you missed my point, regarding the "best sounding" of the th... | |
| Review that offers a perspective on / Sugden FBA-800 - Coda S5.5 - Pass Labs XA-25 Hey parkergetdean, Have you heard with your own ears any of these "overhyped" amplifiers? Also, don't quite understand your statement, we have "evolved" to. The ideas of eliminating any grain/dryness and having and overall liquidity/silkiness hav... | |
| Review that offers a perspective on / Sugden FBA-800 - Coda S5.5 - Pass Labs XA-25 Hey drubin, Would you be good enough to share your take on the Pass Labs INT-25 and Sugden A21SE, regarding why you find them so different. The SPL S-900 comes very close to these class A amplifiers, just a smidgen less transparent and not quite ... | |
| AricAudio's new Jackpot 5751 tube-rectified truly balanced preamplifier Hey bluethinker, You are correct. Last year I did review the LTA Level 3 preamplifier. It too is a wonderful piece and sells for about the same price as the Jackpot. Remember it uses a pair of 6SN7s, not the smaller signal tube 12AU7 and all its ... | |
| AricAudio's new Jackpot 5751 tube-rectified truly balanced preamplifier Hey Jeff, Congrats! Your patience will be greatly rewarded. In the context of your system the Jackpot will bring a much higher level of musicality for your listening pleasure. | |
| Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier Hey grannyring, Thanks for your support. Regarding pbecker128 inquiry about a preamp to team up with his Pass Labs amplifier.

| Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier Hey Audition_audio, My real job is being the director of the Chicago Institute for REBT. I review for only two reasons: 1) Love music and finding great equipment to hear it through. 2) Sharing in my reviews and here on the forums gear that offer... | |

I consider Audiogon my home base, regarding the forums, for over 15 years. I actually got my first reviewing job because my lay GON reviews were well received and popular. ... | |
| Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier First, regarding that I posted under a different user name. Did one time when for some reason I could not get into the GON system to post under my user name of twenty years. John Hoffman, fellow Stereo Times reviewer, gave me permission to use his... | |
| Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier Hey jayctoy, Hope all is well with you. I will have a review in the near future that will be right up your listening avenue!

| Stereo Times review on the remarkable Naiu Labs Ella MKIII amplifier Hey milpai, As I stated in the review there many terrific amplifiers/pieces of stereo equipment and there is no "BEST" because personal taste, room acoustics, and system synergy are all in effect. Yep, Coda, SPL, Pass Labs, Plinius are all excell... |
