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.
