    That's good to hear. Do you hear significant differences with various amps?

    What is your equipment?

    I've got a sample in home atm, when I finish my thoughts I'll fill you guys in


    It's possible! It's recommended to have at least 2watts into 32ohms fed into TI-1A, I've not had a chance to pair the TI-1a with any tube amps with that power spec yet but when/if I do I'll report my findings.

    CanJam Chicago is only a few weeks away so I may get the chance to test this there

    Another vote for and iESL signature edition that can also drive the Raal! Would go great with my iCan Signature.

    I've mentioned in the past that for us it's very difficult to improve upon iESL, so if we do anything, it's going to be yet another batch of iESLs. The Signature type however would have to sound noticeably better and that really is a task to behold given the original price of the iESL.

    Yeah, calling it a signature was not really correct. Just meant that an iESL with the ability to also drive the Raals would be awesome.

    That utility would probably transform iESL into a different product, but don't take my word for it. Suffice it to say, we're aware that Raal cans exist ;)
