I can also vouch for RU6 if you’re after an R2R sound, though knowing you had a gold bar (warm) prior, I think the latter is quite a bit better if I’m being honest.

You can also look at the M15 which is more v-shaped, more power than RU6 and more fun, but with more time with it you’ll discover its tonal flaws.

My personal favorite dongle remains the L&P W2 after buying 3 after it… it’s simply more resolving, dynamic and transparent than all the above. Its issue? It doesn’t have much bass weight and favors snappiness and speed - it definitely might leave you wanting some oomph knowing your preferences.

Lastly there’s the Dunu DTC500 which is outrageously underpriced but very rich, punchy and smooth. Sounds like a chord mojo

My bad-- I said RU6 I meant RS6. I have no use for a dongle and in fact used to own the RU6. I would have kept the gold bar if I wanted a dongle.

Cool...I'm in the market for an alternate source. Was thinking P6 Pro but having just unexpectedly purchased Ani my budget is too tapped out for P6 Pro so RU6 is back to being the most likely option.

In other news the second tour unit for Gaea just shipped so I should be able to mail one down to the US for tour by the end of this week. I'm holding on to the Canadian unit because it's going out with Diva and I want to have Diva on hand to a/b with Ani when it comes in.

US members interested in Gaea who haven't yet please sign up in the tour thread.
What's your budget? Lee recommends WM1AM2. If that's too high, maybe worth waiting for the new Sony DAPs coming early next year.

I could swing an M2. I actually demoed one at CanJam (not with Annihilator though). Thanks for putting it on my radar.

There is so much What here it's hard to know where to begin. Would you rather live life with someone else's head attached to yours and whose brain would constantly be whispering stuff to your brain...or would you rather be an upside down head with no body and, really, not much of a say in anything.

lol...misery loves company.

In other news great to see you're still kicking around. Any word on when your Trifecta will land?

Yeah it's crazy. I subscribe to a Facebook page that shares weird interesting historical tidbits. This one takes the cake though.

Imagine being that dude's wife.

It reminds me of that Simpson's episode:
