I wonder where could Xin Micro/Mini/Macro amp locate in the list since I have them and I am debating whether to buy Move or not.

Well if you ever get a Xin Reference I doubt you will need to move on. :^)

Haha...I wish I could hear one. I dunno, the Hornet and Move amp sound is very hard to beat IMO. I still long for a PRII though, lol.

No lack of choice for good low cost amps.
I thought the V6 would do a bit better.

The V6 is a VERY good amp. But it felt more like a volume attenuator (an amp in true sense I guess) rather than adding anything to the music. Some people prefer that, but I personally prefer the amp to add alot of punch....but that's just my preference. The GV6 is very neutral...

Interesting reading. I was particularly intrigued with your evaluation of the Mister X and its subsequent rating. Most Mister X products that I've recently seen have been selling for over $100 which will obviously impact how they will be viewed relative to value vs. cost.

Great comparison, thanks oicdn. The Move seems more lucrative than ever.
