    Decware Appreciation Thread (MT review up on first page 2-10-12)

    C-SF, thanks for checking and posting, really appreciate it.   I stumbled into a used set of mini-Torii and ERR speakers here in Hong Kong, how lucky is that (I can't imagine many of these here, if any at all).  I'm impressed with Decware (until recently unknown to me), so that I've placed...

    quick question for you mini-Torii owners:   The switch to engage the treble tone knob - is it engaged when it is toggle toward you (if you are facing the amp), or vice versa?   I tried registering on Decware Forum (natural place to ask question) but for whatever reason cannot register...

    To OP and other Leben users: what tube compliments are you currently using (wrt to HD800 usage)?   btw, if you use Leben solely as headphone amp, there is no need to have speaker load off the speaker taps on back?  (I thought I read somewhere that all tube amps should always be run with a...

    CARY CAD-88SEI

    that's a nice score, XXII. (btw, sorry for gong off-topic, but where can I find used high-end gear in HK - whether online or physical stores? HK is audiophile crazy, and I've got to believe there is a massive second hand market. I just don't know where to look. Looking for things like...
