Yeah ? so? Not much to say to that.

i recall knowing someone who had all the top end cable from MIT and Transparent.........took him some time to realize they're not that great........

Fielding .... Audio tourism ... That's new.
As for the DAgostino amp and Sonus Faber Lilium speakers not being reference caliber , you've got that wrong. My guess is you have never auditioned either at sufficient length which makes your comment uninformed at best and flat out careless at worst. As for the need for me including some kind of guide for the use of the controls, I mentioned in the review there is no way to mess up the sound as one can adjust for recording or just for overall taste... There is no wrong way to go about it . As for value that is relative. In a hobby with million dollar speakers and half million dollar amps, value is a moving target and up to the purchasers needs and means.

Foong..... The console on this product is smaller than the last generation and the articulation controls are not tone controls... Other than that I agree with everything you say.
