Summary:
This is actually a review for the Granite 657 tube cd player. Stunningly analogue sounding. I have tried many cd players and transport / dac combos and untill the 657 finding a cd player even remotely sounding like a good turntable seemed hopeless. With the Granite 657 listener fatigue is gone replaced by a relaxed sound yet the dynamics are astounding. As close to 3 D as digital gets. Solidly built and backed by Don Hogland and Granite Audio. I also owned a Granite Audio 650 which is basically the 657 minus tube stage. If you can demo these products don't hesitate. You may never look for another player. A recommended cure for cd audionervosa.

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
