Has anyone seen Sam Tellig's 'Stereophile' (page 17) review of the MKIII in the latest May 2010 issue? Very positive praises!

Even if they don't publish many negative reviews, this doesn't totally discredit them in my humble opinion. Many audio enthusiasts just want to know about the good stuff. That's fine by me. As a fan of relatively inexpensive, but great sounding gear, and user of the MKIII (no affiliation with their company), I can attest to it's 'bang per buck' sonic abilities. Even my 'audio snob' cousin who has Audio Research and VTL equipment was floored when I invited him over to listen to my new tubed preamp, which I did not disclose to him until after the half hour listening session (I had it behind a folded cardboard sheet)! His response was, "I'm shocked at how great this thing sounds". Of course, it could be just 'synergistic luck', but I know the MKIII itself helps bring out the best of my system, especially those Magnepans. Here is a video of my setup- enjoy!
