    Allnic A6000 Quad Parallel SET 300bxls Monoblocks - A Quick Review!

    I was on the original quad of used Emission Labs BXLS for just less than a year. I paid $2400 I think through RamLab (its worth the multi-month wait) which is always out of stock, more than willing to order them from Europe if you don't mind waiting a couple months. The other person who sells...

Without disparaging DCS, I will say a fine gentlemen that is very close to my best friend of both highend audio and life told me that this gentleman who can and does own anything he wants without regard to any price limitations owned an entire DCS stack and it sits...

    Holo Audio May KTE Dac

    Congrats! I keep mine vertically separated between two shelves just because I can and it couldn't hurt and may prevent accidental scratches or what not, but not for any audible reason. It measures perfectly well stacked and the benefits of isolating the dual mono lps in the separate chassis...

    Holo Audio May KTE Dac

    TLDR: I've never heard a more natural, holographic, and realistic sounding DAC, ever! I went back and forth using HQplayer at PCM 1.536mhz (Didn't prefer DSD over PCM, tad too smooth sounding and slightly less resolute, IMHO), and just NOS on my May, but honestly I prefer pure NOS 99% of the...

    Holo Audio May KTE Dac

    I've had the May KTE DAC for a few weeks and must simply say it's an amazingly natural sounding emotionally engaging and resolving piece of gear. I find no fault with it. It's the best DAC I've ever heard in 20+ years. It's transient response, inner detail, timbre, tonal colors, image...

    Allnic A6000 Quad Parallel SET 300bxls Monoblocks - A Quick Review!

    I recently took a chance on a pair Allnic A6000 that I saw listed on Audiogon used and I felt compelled to share my opinion of their sonic qualities. I was using an Art Audio Diavolo SET 300b Tube Amplifier up until very recently because my new Tekton Encores needed more power than 8wpc to...
