The 102b has given me MANY hours of enjoyment, and there was never a time I regretted buying it. Kudos to jolida for pricing things inside the stratosphere. It looks like it got all 5/5 ratings, around 25 of them, on audioreview.com. There was also an audiogon thread where someone mentioned using this with his MMG's.
I saw that Galen Carol still has them, and he used to have trial period/guarantee, which I would take advantage of in case it doesn't mate well with the MMG. OTOH there is a used 1501RC (remote control) on ebay at 'buy it now' $480. While you're there get some NOS 12ax7's (you may want to double check what it uses), but don't spend a fortune. Just get a variety. I got a 12ax7 Groove Tubes tube from a pro audio shop the other day which was a bad decision. I believe the current production 12ax7 people like in these is the EI gold pin elite. Sometimes the tube fiddling gets old, at which time I plug in the super t-amp. It's always good to have a switch hitter. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31886 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
