.....Gryphon was excellent as well I thought, I was impressed with that, and in retrospect should have spent some more time in there. ..... Interesting comments above on Devore. I heard both models (I'm almost certain the same 2 models) in Munich, and remembered thinking the smaller ones sounded co...

Maybe he was simply kind to me or maybe he was honest, anyway I didn't see any eff...

It is a honest biography of all their successes, problems, excesses and failures happened during their impressive...

I have the same feeling as hudo: I left a valve preamp to Daniel months ago with a long list of problems to fix. So far he solved everything except one, for which he is waiting to find the right components, as decided in the original scheme. So my first impression is that he is well competent and me...
