Would like to hear some feedback from the Audioquest room.

The Atlas wasn't playing in any of the rooms to my knowledge though could have missed it. As I understand, there were only four sent to the US distributor, with one earmarked for a reviewer. One went to the AQ importer and the others were used for promotional material. What I can say is that the importer told me that the new Atlas really outclassed his Titan i. I have one on order but these cartridges are extremely hard to manufacture and take longer to build than say a Titan. So I expect to see mine in a couple of months but I keep on hoping :)

I'm not liking you right now Mr. Astor. Grrrr.

Don't forget to tell Jonathan, two for the Philippines please! :)
