RE: This is not about your amp!

I'm glad I live in DC, land of the free. Guess I'll go smoke a legal joint and make myself a run to the power pole out of Cardas tonearm wire.

I don't buy any Mapleshade products. I'm a DIY er. I'd make my own.

But where Mapleshade deserves praise, in my opinion, is for their attitude of experimentation and perfectionism, as they see it.

When I visited Ron and Pierre at Ron's house 15 years ago, they didn't have a volume control in the system. They played Mapleshade recordings and they knew the level they were recorded at and they set the amp to THE proper volume. They had an outboard volume control box, if needed. for visitors.

The amp was liquid cooled Mosfet with the cooling line running down to the basement where it was cooled by an antique fan blowing on an old air conditioner coil.

As mentioned before these guys are quite serious experimenters and very careful listeners. If one is of the mindset to be intrigued by such tweaking, these guys are old masters at it.
