Is it true that the amplifier is born here:
Shenzhen Shanling Digital Technology Development Co., Ltd.

I hope that it is true - Shanling production line is superb - small company could not afford to buy such machines and technology.

Yes - Jan has been having Shanling build his designs for quite some time now. Jan does all the design work, but Shanling does the manufacturing.

For UE consumers price for Phoenix with shipping and Tax'es is 100% higher than for Corda Concerto with shipping and tax.

No sense in getting the Phoenix for the T1's unless you plan to re-terminate the T1's for balanced. The Concerto sounds better in single ended.

Is the concerto far behind the decware tube amp you have in SQ?

They do sound different. I prefer the Decware, but I wouldn't say the Concerto is far behind at all - just different. The Decware is also a bit of a chameleon, depending on what tubes you use in it.

I asked this in the T1 thread but no one answered. Have you tried a balanced T1? I wonder if it's worth going with a balanced amp with the T1. I have a balanced HD650. So naturally I would like a balanced T1. But if the gain is small then it might not be worth it? Then the Concerto would be the way to go I guess.

I personally have not heard a balanced T1, no, and I have no plans at all to balance mine. All mu tube amps are single ended.
