    Hahahah - I don't think I'll be looking to change it - I don't think you could get a more transparent way of controlling volume. I've had the Vida and the allaerts for a couple years without getting itchy feet. I don't think I'd ever change the Vida or get rid of the cart. Likewise the sp10. I might change my arm in the future and I'd like another amp to do standby duty. Speaker cables will be staying as well. Interconnects are next on the agenda....

    This is from the website:


    It has an input impedance too high to measure, output impedance is a couple ohms, bandwidth is to 60Mhz, slew rate is a couple hundred V/microsecond.
    There are no capacitors or resistors in the signal path. There is no potentiometer in the signal path.
    It uses photo cells to control the volume. It does not use optocouplers.


    These are bold and intriguing claims. I'd love to take a peak inside.

    I have to admit that I'm tempted to take a peek in there but prefer not to know. For all I know there are fairies in there making magic. I've been waiting since November for it to arrive and over that time have been told by the maker to hang in there because it would be worth it in a way I couldn't imagine and to be honest my expectations had waned by the time it finally arrived. But he was right. Whatever is going on inside it has zero effect on the signal, zero. Arthur Salvatore gave it his bolero test, meaning against a direct connection and concluded they were so close that a direct connection was redundant. It's quirky to use - volume is only between 9-1 o'clock but it has good control over that short travel which earlier models didn't. The balance is also unconventional. But it works - it not only removes a faint veil, it lifts a bloody quilt!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    A very anonymous looking box of trickery... Rosewood sleeve should be ready by Tuesday and laser etched fascia in a week or so - have some beautiful brown mottled Bakelite knobs that will be used. Yes - I like my HiFi to look nice.
