Ze've from Pure Audio Project will let me know if Quintet15 or one of the Trio15 will be the second set of speakers. I will update the thread once it has been finalized.
Hattor Audio - NC500 Integrated Amplifier (TBD)
Hattor Audio - NC500 Tube Buffered Integrated (TBD - If ready in time)
I have heard the non Golden Atlantic DAC previously but I have not heard the rest of the equipment so I am looking forward to the day also.

Sorry, about that.
What can I say? I like to make sure that the information is as accurate as I can make it. On one of the other forum some asked what the difference was between normal GA an GA+, they either own one or has heard one.
I still need to sit down and write up my listening impression.
That Indian food looked good, too!
Are the fellows in the pics members of this forum?
But there will be death.
