Cyril.......I see the craftsmanship. I don't see the beauty. Looks like a leather top shoe box with something parked on top. The look doesn't appeal to me at all.

:thumbsup::yes:

Think outside the box :rofl2: :banana:

I like their separates because of the combination of prominent tubes and leather :D This is different with the two input stage/preamp tubes not being so prominent and the heat sink being the prominent feature. I agree on that part. Anyhoo, it's all good in the neighborhood, different tastes for different schmastes....you know what I'm sayin'...

Which is your favorite shoe box Dan?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
They are surely interesting.

Carlos (aka cmarin) owns pre and power amps of this brand.
He likes them as much as his Soulution mono blocks.

Bart...it sure is. Dan was stating his taste. I was stating mine. That's what makes a market. There's something for every one. For each seller there is a buyer for a transaction to consummate.

Tom.......Now that's funny. :thumbsup:

Hi Bart,

There's an intrinsic beauty to 845s glowing in a darkened room while reproducing wonderful music. Curious how the integrated compares.

Best Holiday wishes

I like the look, plus I hear they sound great with Rockports.

Cmarin,

I see you're in Texas, where did you audition the Absolare amps and pre? I'd really like to hear them but last I checked, a trip to NY was required.
