ive heard a fair bit of AN gear, and it is not anything id want anywhere near my listening space. the one "all audio note" system I heard(in germany while living there) was among the worst ive ever heard. ill take my chances with good specs rather than some mystical "ear tuned by mystical monks in asia" nonsense. -- TheOctavist Vortexbox>SBT(stock(TT failed dbt)>>Forssell MDAC-2>>>Klein and Hummell 0300D Sota Sapphire/Lyra Kleos>>Bespoke Valve Phono Stage>>Mastersound Due Venti>>Link Audio K100 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TheOctavist's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=52700 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93542 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
