Some of the items, like the TT2 that sold, were asking 67% of retail, but we don't know what it sold for (it is sold). First off, most people are asking more than 50% of retail on some items. Currently there are 29 listings in the classifieds under Audio Note. At it's price point, IMO, the Soro is right there.įor some reason, some AN gear does not seem to meet the 50% of retail used pricing. Before I bought my Supratek, I was more than happy with it and a K&K stepup.

Plus the phono stage is very high quality. Given the state of quality tube integrateds that are out there now, I feel the Soro should be one of the major players. And, I don't think they are overpriced at retail (sorta, read on). It is truly a great piece for an AN Level 2 product. IMHO, I don't think any of the options Lousyreeds1 listed are even close to the Soro. The $1300 (previous post) refers to the one here for sale, no phono (not mine either). And, unless you buy it used, the Soro is not really a "budget" piece at four grand. But so does the Soro, even thought it's more costly just because it has 13 tubes (phono version). The 6C33C-B driven by 6sn & 6sl7's leaves some room to play. Now, I'd like to hear the Fox with some different tubes. And in my case, I think the Soro is a clearly better piece, IMHO. I don't normally do "reviews", because I hate trying to describe sound, a very subjective topic. I still think that in the same system, the Soro would spank the Fox. I would have liked to A/B them, but the real world of no dealers of ANY kind around here precludes that. The bass was about even, but the Soro just does more things right, and carries more "weight". I guess it was just kind of lifeless, or maybe not as quick as the Soro. But it soon became obvious there was something missing. Those things made difference to me, but they might not to others. The Supratek has made no phono a moot point, now, in my system. Since my main focus is vinyl, no phono stage didn't do it for me. The first thing I didn't like is no auto-biasing. The fact that I could make a decision in four hours ought to indicate something. The system pieces are similar to mine, sans vinyl. I didn't spend a lot of time listening to the Fox, maybe four hours, in a digital based system. Still lookin for more I want to use them in my HT. I just bought the Waves for shits & grins. But Crazy, you are correct, I was a little vague. I only said "The ONLY ASL." And I never said it was in any way deficient. I didn't compare the Waves or the Hurricanes.
I understand your point, and yes I have heard it.
