These new units were supposed to start shipping on the 15th. Does anyone have a unit ordered and on the way. When in the ETA?
One more thing about design - As much as it killed me I ended up selling a beautifully built Paradisea with torroidal transformer, Bendix 6385 tube and $125 Shunyata power cord after listening to a lowly $149 Beresford Mark 4 with cheap swithching PS.
As for Massy... Mate, I suspect you are NOS & tube kind of person... as you alone pointed out there is no doubt in Valab's technical inferiority vs RE-5, but your sonic preferences are the main thing you should follow. Second hand Havana or Paradisea may be good starting point. In any case, enjoy your "ride".
Still, I'm interested in latest ΣΔ developments as Sabre chips & similar and will, sooner or later, try them. One more reason for it is that R2Rs are, sadly, on extinction route.
