I finally received the IRD purist yesterday... around 3 pm. Actually I had to go down to their location to get it; the delivery guy didn't even bother putting it into his truck yesterday. Good thing is, the purist is looking good, or sounding good rather, while my NAD preamp is sitting dejectingly halfway underneath my bed. The build quality of the purist definetly matchies the leamps; they look like they're built to outlast even my lifetime.

I didn't get a good chance to hear them though, I was too busy building my headphone amp, but I'll be sure to bring them up next weekend.

Sunny.
