Closing in, but we haven’t been able to match the colour just yet, we’re waiting on 2 samples right now with different finishing methods, and thank you!
Yes, it has been nice to meet Emile and Ed both in person at the Munich show. For my ears the Alsyvox system is the best sounding show presentation there, among many very fine sounding exhibits. I'm sure the Taiko/Lampi source is a key part of this, as well as the Pilium amplification on the Alsyvox. Show conditions always factor into these events, but I hear quite a spectrum of better sound at this show than I have at the regional US shows I've attended, and that's quite a compliment to this system to show so well in this mix.
Even if they do, it's likely to be a software volume control- whether you think it's worth using or not is up to you.
I'll likely be looking at using a pre with it personally.
Didn’t manage to find Emile at the show, but talked to Bob from Rhapsody Audio, which was a real pleasure to meet in person!! Thank you, Bob. 
… and the few tracks I was listening to sounded just stunning - the double bass and saxophone were spooky real, full of texture and the soundstage was to die for!

What are the socket distribution devices you use ?
I remember you had P20 in the past , than I noticed you used pure power 6 .
Now there are few that I dont know.
looking for the ultimate power distribution solution.
cant decide what to try.
Those are from Omega Audio Concepts.
Since we had our dedicated utility transformer tap installed I haven’t used the P20 anymore. The pure power is a bit too lean for my tastes but it has good resolution, my preferred distribution box uses unplated “copper” sockets.
Thank you.
I wish I could be there.
it looks I need exactly something with copper only to balance very strong high frequency.
I love it but with longer sessions it might be to much of a good thing .
So that is omega or something else that is your top socket distribution box ?
Holy Shit!! Emile, you have some pretty cool things at your disposal! WOW!!
I am looking for a power distribution upgrade as well. My Niagara 5000 and a Denali 6000T were both outperformed by a Faber's Power Ground Power Six during a home audition I had recently, so I am now intrigued by unfiltered distributors. I will try their top of the line La Potenza distributor as soon as I get the chance.
A friend strongly recommended the JMF Audio PCD 102, a very expensive unit, especially with sources, which however does filtering. Has anyone here experience with it?
Anyway I will be waiting for the Taiko BPS options before to decide what to do, although the anticipated pricing being "above the Extreme cost itself" would be beyond what I can afford.

This looks fantastic Emile !
I believe most of us will be willing to purchese it immediate if you decide to build more .
People being happy with Taiko extreme , Taiko switch , Taiko usb and net card will for sure be happy
with Taiko power strip.
I hope there is very thick wire inside to support all 8 sockets.
Just think about it and if possible put that on your long to do list .
I keep waiting As long as needed.
