If the reviewer wants to do a review of the MPX3 fine, but why bother listing the Stealth. Was it his reference amp? You've never heard an Emmeline? Give yourself a treat, man! I guess we're all guilty of recommending things we like and own (I often recommend TotalBitheads to folks with iPods and laptops cuz I like mine) but I hesitate to make too many recommendations of my amps over others I've never heard.

Ah hum: The reviewer never claimed it to be ballanced or fair . It's his paper, time, review, ect., he can do what he wants. It's not our fault.

I think they mean Maestro SDS's...this doesn't include the earlier Supra SDS's.

I have heard and spent a lot of time with both Mikhail and Ray's amps (both are my friends), and they are both engineers who believe in achieving the best sound and providing the best "bang for the buck" to their consumers.
Ray believes in perfection in circuit board design (all his components line up in perfect sequence) and his soldering is second to none. Mikhail believes in point to point wiring and offering upgrades based upon the buyers pricepoint.
They both make outstanding products that sound great, and there is no need for comparison. Or wars. I own Ray's phono stage, and Mikhails headphone amp, and love them equally, as I do with my children.
...now my wife and girlfriend are another story

Hence my comment that I didn't mean "fair".
By balanced, I only meant that to list the Stealth as one of the reviewed amps but to barely talk about it was a disappointment. I don't care if he wants to write a review about the MPX3. I'm glad he liked it. I was only hoping for more info on the Stealth for my own reasons and couldn't get the author's original review of the Stealth to load (except for the first page).
I know it's not your fault.

I believe the Stealth is due for a full review next month, you probably just hit his intro that he's working on.

Looks like 6 Moons are going to review the Stealth next. Should be a nice comparo.

Cool! Thanks for the info. Is it the same reviewer or someone else?

Oh boy, lets not go there now. Too many teeth and eyeballs, on the floor, in here now.

Not trying to be confrontational. I just thought his style was kinda weird. My main objection wasn't that he loved the MPX3 (I liked my PPX3 too), I was just looking for more Stealth info and he didn't answer many questions for me.

His review was specifically of the MPX3. I'm not sure why you were looking for Stealth information in a MPX3 review nor why you subsequently object to the lack of Stealth information . I wouldn't look for Sennheiser information in a Grado review.

Maybe you missed my earlier post

Yes, it was a review of the MPX3; I was just curious why he listed the Stealth (first) in the header of the review under reviewed amps when it was really a review of the MPX3.
That's all.
