 Hi Friends,
 I am Sid from New Delhi (India). Can consider myself old but a quite member of the group.
 I have been bitten by the tubey bug after i heard the Apollo and hence selling out all my SS gear gradually
 before i order the finalized - Leben600 with appropriate speakers. (will be looking for a pair of 90db+)
 Currently am pushing B&W 805s with Quad909 (modded) + Promitheus Signature (*which replaced the
 Quad 99Pre, currently packed & stored)

 DESCRIPTION:
 I shall just copy n paste the description from Nicholas as received in July.
 "... We are ready with your Dual C-core range is our Top series - Signature Range
 - Its 2 RCA input, 2 RCA output
 - The Signature version used a Double C-core which is about 4 times the physcial size as the ref c-core.
 - The core when its made bigger allows even the most minute sound to pass thru with ease.
 - The dynamic headroom is of course more!
 - The core of the signature a nanocrystalline core.
 - When compared core to core and the both the same size the nano core comes out giving more bass layering, transparency, image layering and what i like best is there a bass bloom with the nano core.
 - The ref c-core uses steel core 0.05mm lamination while the nano core is 0.02mm lamination.
 - We have taken the Signature tvc, feed all the leadout wires with silver wire.
 - This is to bring out the transparency and match the sound. The silver on its own would sound really transparent but since the core of the tvc is so bigger it balances the sound by making it fleshy and a lot of body and with the silver advantages.
 - "Swiss Elma Switches" - 3 micron gold plated to give more finesse sound over the Taiwanese volume controls used in the ref c-core ..."
 
 *Burning it in the rig, Ready to Ship
 
 
 
 Cheers
