Tat's the problem we're always limited to the dealers we have access to. There are so many products I would like to hear but they're not sold in my area. I'm going to miss the CES show in Vegas this January but I will try to go next year - all the major players go and show of their new or best stuff. I wanted to hear the top end Audio Note system which goes up over a million dollars US I believe (2 channel).

But i would like to hear the Avantguards, and Von Sweikerts etc.

The Jolida 302B is very popular and uses the same tubes as the AQ1003DT from ASL and the 302B is a bit cheaper - no remote though but more power http://www.vacuumtube.com/JD%20302B.htm the 202A is $750 but the 302B people seem to think is their best unit. bigger pic http://www.jolida.com/catalogue/models/jd302b.shtml
