Love Justin's amps, waiting for the new one to come out and already own a pico amp and pico dac only.
That said, until the new one comes out i still go for the Triad L3, i don't think it is on the dark side at all, it is very neutral. The L3 compares to home amps(or should i say the Lisa lll does) I have heard the L3 twice and it seems comparable to the Lisa. Gotta say though i am not sure what they are doing about charging and the power supply. WIth the Lisa you bought a separate low noise power supply but it isn't on Triads site anymore and there are no other recommendations. I will be curious to compare my Lisa to the new pico power when it comes out though.
One day i hope to have Justin working on a Blue Hawaiian for me, i mentioned it to him at a meet and i could have sworn i saw his eyes roll.
