1953- I agree with you, for $2K the H2O sounds very interesting. I just think, for someone who running a two channel rig, the TacT's ability to eliminate the preamp,
DAC and extra cables are worth the extra $900.
Muralman1- first, I said the amp our friend heard was a prototype, and it was our same friend that suggested the
use of high speed diodes and better parts to Henry, after
he heard what these improvement did in his TacT system.
I know you're excited about the H20, but with the mods I've done on the TacT amps, they're not "dry and analytical."
You know my friend, but you don't know me. I'm told you're a really great guy, but please don't made unsupported statement like "unapproachable by TacT, even with a thousand dollars upgrades," unless you've heard a tweaked out TacT system like mine or Mr.Perry's.
The mods don't cost "thousand dollars," try a $100.
worth of parts applied in the right area, some electronics knowledge and skill.
I'm not your enemy man. I want to see other digital amps come to market and push the development process of this new technolgy into high gear.
As I told you, I'd be happy to lend an ear and my mana'o
to the H2O's development process.
Contact me off line, or get my number from our friend and give me a call.
Aloha,
Dan
