Same here. I think they're keeping the display models all to themselves. Well, that can't be all bad.
-
Doesn't anyone else carry them? I think Spearitsound sells Music Hall.

They won't hit the marketplace 'till end of Feb. You can preorder from Acoustic Sound tho.

They're supposed to be featured in the next AA catalog.

As an instock item?
-
Yup. As an in-stock item. I just don't know when that catalog will appear; it may be a few issues away.

I'm stoked now, just ordered the MH DAC25.2. It should be here in a week or two so this will give me time to build a couple of XLR cables.
The exchange rate isn't very favorable right now but a guy could grow old(er?) waiting for the oppurtune time, this way I can be enjoying it right away. :0:
-
Darn it, I was just told that my order is being held up. What's going on???
-
They sold yours to LDB to make more money off the exchange rate. :)

I ordered thru MusicDirect and it's going to be a week or so 'till they get stock. I can wait, just thought I would get the order in.
Are you thinking of rollin' different tubes thru it? I thought trying other tubes maybe intriguing but wouldn't know what to start with.

LOL, maybe NF should ask for a commission.

You all did say Music Hall right? I didn't realize that was a tube DAC. The original 25.2 single box wasn't tube, was it? I'm going to have to take a look at this piece. I'd almost bet Shanling had a hand in it.

It looks like a sweet unit for the price

Whoah! I just saw Paul McGowan's YouTube video clips about the new PWT & PWD. Now I'm torn. That PWD sounds like a very cool DAC.
Choices...

I don't know anything 'bout tubes but, it apparently it comes with an 6922 Electro-Harmonix tube (gold pin). From what I gather with a quick Google, is that they are a decent sounding tube. Comments?

Audio Note uses 6922's in some of their DAC's so I'd say they can sound very good. It seems to be a popular tube.
-
I use six of 'em

I use six 6299's in my Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp which sounds at least decent. The input and gain tubes are Amperex USA white label 'PQ'; the gain tubes are an earlier run and sound a bit better, I think

Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm sure I'll be happy with the 6922 for awhile but knowing myself the curiosity will get the better of me soon enough. At the very least it will be a fairly inexpensive way to change the sound of my system.
I look forward to learnin' about the mysterious world of tubes from you guys. Thanks

Thanks for the CD LDB!
My experience with exotic NOS tubes is somewhat limited compared to others, but don't just think EH tubes are crap. I believe EH makes one of the finest sounding tubes. You just gotta find what you like. I'm not a big fan of NOS since they seem to roll-off on higher frequency when compared to new EH, Tung-Sol, JJ, & Shuagang. NOS doesn't mean better, just different with higher cost due to low supply. Just make sure they are low on noise.

Yer welcome J.
I wasn't necessary thinking of improving the sound per se, just playing with the "tube signature" to find what works best with my system and preferences. Thanks for the tip on NOS glass tho.

great...
I've purchased several things from AA over the years, mostly open box or clearence. Never been dissappointed or ripped off. I hope and pray that they and other's survive the downturn.

A little late for me but I sure would of liked to read a review or get feedback from someone B4 I ordered it. I keep searchin' for a review but notta thing.
Oh well, gotta live on the edge sometimes.

Aaarrrgh... I did it, I cancelled my order and put myself on the waiting list for the PS Audio PWD, instead. It's just too sexy of a DAC. I don't even know what that sucker is going to cost....
