    Zanden 9600 MK2 Mono Amps: Review by Alan Sircom

    Anybody compared the 9600 mk1 with mk2 , familiar with both? Worth the upgrade? Running the Zanden with the Koda15ex and it's a nice pairing, wondering if it's worth the trouble to ship back to Japan for the upgrade?

    Lampizator Valve / Tube Rolling Review Thread

    The RK 5u4g was my fav Recti in the PAC , but pole position has been now taken by the Takatsuki 274b , vastly more refined and a much higher resolution, works great for me alongside the RK242s
