If only the TT came with the deal. Yes, I am joking, but it is a looker that's for sure. Anyway, the Tori Jr. has been on my list of demands. So far, I have held out with the Rachael, and one eye on the Jr. I wish you luck with the sale.

Rick,
Looks like a very nice amp! Do you miss the extra wattage of the Torii Jr.?

Jeff,

Not at all. My Zu's are very happy with just 8 watts.

And I am the lucky buyer! Thanks for all your help and communication Rick!

FedEx says it should be here tomorrow - boy that was fast.

I've used both the SE84CKC and Taboo III with Omega 3XRS speakers and loved it. Also used these amps with ERR speakers. Now it's time to try the ERR speakers with a bigger amp - let's see!

Some folks have described this as a Mystery Amp Jr....I am excited!

Thanks Lon!
You ever get an amp with upgraded Caps? I've always wanted to try them. Any difference in your setup?

Yes, it started with a Torii Mk III that I sent back for the Jupiter caps when they first became available in the CSP2+ and then the Torii Mk III. There's a truly noticeable difference: the Jupiter Type 1 caps have a more open sound and are a bit more dynamic. Next was the a CSP2+ with these caps, similar difference. I then ordered a second Torii Mk III with the Jupiter caps installed from the start because my first one I was unable to add the bass controls to that Steve had developed for the amp after the first batch were sold. (I now have the first Torii in storage). I also bought a used Taboo Mk III with the Jupiter 1 caps. These caps are really good. Will and others have called their sound "organic" and I agree that is a good way to describe them--the sound is natural and musical.

Then along came the Jupiter Type 2 caps, and I bought a Taboo Mk IV with those installed. And a used ZTPRE with those installed. And a ZROCK2 with those installed.The Type 2 Jupiter caps are even more of a good thing, even more transparent and open sounding.

Steve knows what he is doing in offering these caps!
