A lot of the thru hole parts sound better than their SMD equivalents.
Uh, yeah. Some thru hole parts are non-magnetic. SMD are for pick and place.

No, they don't.
Many manufacturers in our industry have been trying to perpetuate this myth, for several reasons: <SNIP>
But, SMD sounds bad? 100% BS.
Sorry about the continuing delay on Valhalla 2. We are in a perfect schiit storm of delay with that product.
We don't have the outer chassis, the updated and twice postponed due date for the chassis is now next week. Our metal guys have actually been trying very hard to keep everything in stock- we put in a lot of large orders in anticipation of Christmas and they've been doing their best to stay caught up.
The transformers were delayed and are expected around Christmas. We are pushing hard for sooner but that is out of our hands.
Finally, one of the WIMA capacitors and a few of the through-hole resistors have proven a bit hard to find. We have orders in for all of the THD parts and it looks like those parts will be showing up soon.
The problem with custom, single manufacturer, and low quantity parts is that when your suppliers are out of stock- you are dead in the water until they get more stock.
Uhm, here you go kids, PLAY!:
