    "Downgrading" from a Nagra Tube DAC to a Lampi Pac, or a Neodio Origine S2.

    The Neodio is excellent but unfortunately no longer in production.

    Field-Coil Speaker Review: the Wolf von Langa SON

    Yes, I recommend it. The included jumpers are good (use the top set of the bottom four binding posts when single wiring) but the speakers let you hear your system. Nice improvement.
