I think a xxx @ Patriots game is on order...then a VR factory tour.

That would be badass!

I would prefer NYG....

Bills or Seahawks could be decent.

I went to Vinnie's center of operations yesterday and was mighty impressed!

I don't think it really dawned on me how many parts and pieces go into making a LIO until I saw the ridiculous amount of inventory he has on hand!

During the visit I was able to hear the system that Vinnie uses to evaluate his products/prototypes and just enjoy music. His system was incredibly resolving and musical - no wonder the LIO sounds so good. His soundstage seemed liked it was a mile deep and voices and instruments were very 3D like.

I could have listened for hours and hours, but I didn't want to keep Vinnie from continuing to make more LIO's and get them out to his customers.

Thanks Vinnie for letting me see how you create a truly ground breaking product.

Spill the beans--does he use the Harbeths at home?

Yes he does.

They are much bigger in person than they look online.

And soon to have some Spatial's from what I've read.

I have had mine for four days now. I am using a National Union 45 tube. You want warm and sweet, you got it. You want an audio animal? just raise the volume control, the soundstage gets bigger and bigger and the contents of this soundstage is rock solid. Bass is deep and tight.

You asked how I like it? I dont like it, I LOVE IT.

Hi Coldfogey,

Thank you for posting your initial impressions of your DHT PRE. I knew you were going to love it!

Hi George - my pleasure, and glad you enjoyed it and got to hear why I dig "the near field"

It's true, and I'm looking forward to what Clayton is cooking up! Get to RMAF this Fall if you can!

I picked up a pair of Spatial M4 Turbos (not Turbo S) a few weeks ago. I drive them with my LIO, sometimes in preamp mode with an external amp but mostly with the on board MOSFET amp. My LIO is configured with just the AVC (no tube stage) to keep the signal as transparent as possible. I can attest that this is a marvelously musical combination. Pricier power amps can give a little more slam and my tube amp adds a bit more "3D" but the LIO in basic integrated form is very difficult to beat with these speakers. Just IMHO, of course.

I received my DHT on Monday and installed it later that evening. My wife came in the room and listened for a few seconds (not knowing I'd made a change to the system) and said, "Wow, the music sounds more lifelike!"

These arrived today; now I just need a DHT.

Is your delivery the DHT kit to convert an existing LIO or the complete DHT LIO?

Either way, the above is true!

Looking forward to your feedback.

All,

It appears that a package containing >$4000
of Vishay Nude Z-Foil resistors went missing,
according to FedEx

It was insured, but the real problem is that it contained
the parts to make the next batch of 10 Nude RVC
modules that is part of the DHt PRE kit - and they are
all handmade resistors and have a 4 week lead-time

Needless to say that I'm working hard to get this package
recovered, and to get another batch made ASAP.

The good news is that I should have the tube covers sometime
next week and will start shipping those to everyone who didn't get
them with their DHT PRE.

Hang in there - we'll get through this during these dog days of
summer!

Well in the meantime, I'm still building DHT modules, DHT power supplies, matching tubes, and
more...

The action doesn't stop!
