No, just antipathy towards people that drone on about them apropos of not a lot.
No doubt the next minor upgrade in the RME firmware will collapse your soundstage, drop several veils and play havoc with your sensitive big tube.

Please correct your comment. It's not just a big tube. It's big tube monoblocks!

Nah- I'm getting big tubey shill vibes
I wouldn't be "droning on" about anything if you weren't droning on and on. I'm jamming some tunes and they sound better than ever. So please, drone on as you were.
No doubt if that makes you happy but I really don't want to donate to your favorite Men's Pregnancy Charity too.
Well, it's not the same and that's not in question here so I could only speculate about a "loose wire" when reconnecting the DAC but that doesn't seem likely nor probable. Had to move the DAC as the update tool showed no change on a mac mini. But when connected to a MacBook M1, the update tool started automatically and completed in seconds. I reconnected it back to the mac mini in the system and it's still easily better. Not a shade, significant.

I'm not your mate. You want to see if you can find something I said about big monoblock tube amps from even more years ago?
Be my guest and good luck with that!

Au contraire mon ami. I think we are dealing with a far too common super assumer.

It's like when a responder in a drug trial is revealed he/she was given placebo, all along

Send it in for Amir to measure then we can see how awful it is.
Your post should be deleted as off topic.
That's how the censorship goes!
So, it's your turn.
You only wish they measured "awful." The amps measure great and I'm not sure Amir has similar equipment that it's been measured on and the new prototypes with custom choke and transformer just out. He has at least some of the measuring equipments that I'm aware which provide good results.
Enjoy this response as it will be seen by maybe only you and then deleted.. As it's only the response which of course is headed to deletion. Love the censorship when when a reply to the insiders arrives.
The amps weigh are heavy and would be well about 140 pounds to ship. I don't need to hear how great they measure on Amir's equipment They've been thoroughly measured along the way already. I was going to donate a Pioneer Blue Ray player which is light and easy to ship for testing and donation. Based on the application of the selective deletion key here, I won't bother.

Does this mean there will be a pre-order available in the near future or will your friend only sell to certified Goldenears?
Negative. Nothing is being sold. They are designed for a select number of users among a few audiophile friends by "the doctor" who is a Phd in math, a real-time developer in international financial market systems and created this over several years on the side for personal use. Enjoy this reply before it too is deleted since it crushes the stupid narrative. You'll be aiding in that deletion no doubt.

Well, the good news is that the last flurry of posts has drastically raised the proportion where sensitive big tubes aren't mentioned so kudos for taking that one on board.
You seem to have replaced it with a propensity to quote irrelevant qualifications to design and build irrelevant and unobtainable devices though. So its a zero-sum game tonight for you.

I for one wouldn't assume they're awful, but would like to see the measurements to see what they are instead.
Also: can we please drop the abrasive tone and referenecs to conspiracies etc, those aren't waht this forum stands for.
