Manley Skipjack--Your thoughts?

[The Monkey]

Thanks, Jim. Nate gave me a heads-up too.

Pm sent.

What's the word on the Skipjack, Dinny? Have you been doing fun stuff with it this week? Looking forward to those comparisons you were talking about with the spdif/toslink deal in play.

[The Monkey]

So far I love the thing, and I have only had a chance to tinker a bit. Will do some major cabling tonight/tomorrow to do some more listening and will report back.

[The Monkey]

I wish it could volume match.

I have Luxman AS-44 and I think it's great. It can be found around $200 if you look for it. Great switch box.

I highly recommend it. Not as cool as the Skipjack though.

And I had to take it out, because it was this stupid infinite loop thing.

The Manley SkipJack has been discontinued.

Guess I have a collector's item.

Tough sell at $900. Even tougher at $1695, I guess.

Manley's product pages make me hungry.

I'm interested to see how source switching will be done on the KG Blowtorch. Waiting for the Darwin was a lost cause.

[The Monkey]

What's this blowtorch of which you speak?

I loves me some Darwin! One of the best audio decisions I've made.

If someone wants to pick up the torch I think I still have some parts and the boards but I can't swear to that.
