We are pleased to start this forum and will be posting more information and details in the coming days. On a personal level I am thrilled to be representing these incredible products that are built by hand and with passion. This is a project that started over two years ago and has finally become a reality. We will be recieving our first demonstration components in the near future and we welcome visitors and of course orders
Warm regards,

no they are single ended or balanced

Super exciting, Elliot. Thank you for doing this and running it.

If it is helpful on the question on connections, from the K15EX manual:

Two pairs of RCA’s and two pairs XLR’s are available for output connection. When the Balanced / SE
switch is set to SE, all four outputs function in the single ended mode. With pin 2 on the XLR being “hot”
and pin 3 being “zero”.
When the Balanced / SE switch is placed in the Balanced setting, the XLR sockets provide a true
balanced output with pin 2 being “hot” and pin 3 being “cold”.

Why don’t you post some pics of your gear here?

Generally do not post photos of our system, but here are a few close-ups which include the way we have created our 'isolation sandwiches' which isolate from underneath and damp on top. Interestingly, I did this based on ear over the course of several days iterating different options. In the end, we were visited by Robert Koch himself who was curious and looked everything over and felt we had properly isolated the equipment particularly the amps and liked where and how we had done it. So designer approved!
