Hey Mike, I would have appreciated an acknowledgement of my apology posted 8-6-13. Even if you didn't accept it. Maybe we've fallen out more than I thought.

Charles, it's a totally superb product. I went into the demo with my system in the greatest arms folded/'convince me' skepticism...and 3 songs in was a total convert. A fraction of the cost of Trip...

Hey J, the Koda's look to die for. I've just taken the plunge to go all-SET, Audion Black Shadows, with my tube Hovland HP200 pre. Other than a couple of caveats, it's really floating my audio boat...
