"Finding Pearls", In the heart of Portland, Oregon an area known as the Pearl district a trendy upscale area and the location of Pearl Audio. We spent a few hours yesterday visiting John Loranger (Proprietor). Head Whammer and my good friend Matt wanted to hear the DeVore "Orangutan" 0/96 speakers with one of my Whamm [...]

"DLM" Damn Little Monster is partly alive. I had some time to get one of the old prototype chassis reconfigured internally (It took some circuit re-engineering) and now what you see is just one single channel using two 2A3 tubes as outputs (Paralleled) , the external transformer is a beta test unit that was made [...]

The rather disgruntled male voice was short and pointed he stated why don't you have the new information posted on your website about the recent release of the new model DAA3+RAM he said in no less words get your "D**M" website updated. Kind of telling [...]
