Just chiming in my iPhone 6s has no buzz pop or static. I received mine the day they were released via fedex. Surprised to read folks are having issues mine sounds great. Surprised me actually because I could never listen straight from an iPod, had to go the dac and amp route, its nice to travel...

You guys got me thinking, so I may be able to use my Porter Cable random orbital buffer I use on my car to polish my old scratched CD's and DVD's? Hmm...I'm thinking a fine polishing pad with mild plastic polish may work as mentioned above...now to rig something to safely hold the disc down...

I'm not sure which forum to post such a question but here goes... If I play my PentaTone SACD's of Julia Fischer in non-SACD players, the strings, namely the lead violin ranges from a smooth "pure" sound to an almost raspy more detailed sound. Oddly my car stereo has the most raspy...

Holy cow, I just found this thread...no wonder I can't find some of the old tubes! You guys are stock piling them all!!!!

Boy these types of threads are great, I just wish hey could be all encompassing! Like how would a Woo Audio or RSA tube amp fit into this list...

Very cool, thank you! Lots of really nice pics at your pbase link too btw! Keep shooting!

Stop teasing us how does it sound!

Married with two kids, I'm starting to feel like the odd-ball.

Thanks a lot for sharing that info. Please return and post your impressions of the amp after it finally arrives. Oh, please include pictures if you can. The price sure is right for a nice dual-mono amp. Regards.

I voted, and I'm very surprised by the results...I'm also surprised at how few folks have voted...is this a small community? I didn't think it was with folks from all over the world on here...interesting...
