[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 954367, member: 2475"] It is interesting that in his Hi Fi + review Alan Sircom says the only other 2 dacs that affected him in the same way was the Nagra HD and the Gryphon,both at considerably higher prices. Guess who does Gryphon in SA? I get the impression that the majority of South Africa's hi fi music nuts are between 50 and 60 or older.I also am genuinely intrigued how despite our differences our audio backgrounds are all similar.If you are like me, you started off heavily influenced by British magazines and their jingoism. Then somewhere in 81 or maybe 2 a whole flock of the British writers visited CES in Chicago or was it Vegas? There they heard a system with ARC electronics and Infinity RS 1 speakers ,maybe Goldmund/Koetsu front end? It was a Damascus Road for them and so for all of us. Since then I ,and I think others, have always associated the high end with things American. I think the pendulum has swung back to Europe and it is time I,and others, follow . I also think we are priviliged to have a prophet like Achim here. Based on his insights I think I may need to open my ears and sadly my pocket too. [/QUOTE]
