Man that is clean. Only the HE5 seem to approach these in distortion performance so far.

Wow, second order under .5%.  :)p7

Now I'm really kicking myself for not hearing these at the meet. How did Anax's progress go with the Chinese Water Torture again?

I might be selling one of my Jade sets. (Unfortunately both of my sets have issues with crackling stators; it's faint but audible during silent passages. Exposure to humidity temporarily stops the crackling, so it might be possible to fix them with dishwashing soap or something). Just thought I'd give my fellow pirates a heads up.

Can you send it to Marv?  I'd like to check it out and might buy it off you if I can work it out.

Instead of an RWA Audeze thing, there should be a purrin-tuned signature series Electra-Jade combo. Was fantastic.
