Thanks for the info, paulie.

Nice. I was expecting 2 to 3 times that. Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity, are you using a power regenerator? If so, how do you like it?

Excellent. Thanks for the info, vc1187. I was hoping to hear it doesn't run too hot - the summer months can get a little warm in my un-air-conditioned home.

Good man! Really appreciate the help....

Does anyone know how much power the stratus draws? And a second question: how warm does the amp run? Many thanks in advance....

Great report, Stuart. Really get a sense of the capabilities of the Stratus. I listen primarily to classical, so I especially appreciated the info with respect to recordings of Vaughan-Williams pieces. (I haven't heard Hickox - I have some Boult, Previn and a new recording on Pentatone from...

Thanks for the info. I assumed it would ship from Canada based on the .ca domain. I'm in the US as well. I don't have to make a decision any time soon. I'm 11 to 12 months out before the Stratus arrives. Until then, I like having the headphone amp in the Grace dac. You must be enjoying it...

I've been looking into this dac since you first posted about it. It's an attractive prospect - I've always wanted to hear akm dac chips, and the feature set is great for the price. I'm not sure it's enough to make me want to switch from my Grace m920 but I'm considering it. The Grace is a little...

Very nice! That's a great looking setup.

Congratulations! Looking forward to your impressions. Enjoy!

Soundstage has a photo and some impressions of the gs2000e in this gallery (click to slide 17/20 - I doubt the link will take you directly to that slide)  ...

Excellent. I look forward to your impressions. I was about to purchase the gs1000e when news of the gs2000e broke. I think I'll wait to hear some reviews before I make a decision. Are the gs2000e's shipping now or is there a wait?

Potential new member of the Grado club, here. I'm looking at the GS1000e and the PS1000e. I don't have local shops to test them out at, so I'm thinking of trying the lending library from the cable company. Apart from that, I'm curious to know if there are any Grado buying tips I should be...

I, for one, would like to hear how it all pans out. KR tubes are on my radar. Best of luck....

Congratulations! Or rather almost....
