Thank you Jens, Raj and Bjarne!

I have thought decay in recorded music to be pivotal to sounding 'natural', Jens, so I'm very pleased it makes it to your standard. Correct decay in recorded music is very important to a real image, particularly if you listen in a large cathedral recording, for example the Misa Criolla from Mercedes Sosa, one of the most atmospheric recordings I have ever heard. I used this piece during the tuning of the amp, as it magnified 'engagement' and 'decay'.

Again, you guys have made my day! So much better than watching 'Casino Royale' the third time this evening!!

A lot of music has been through my system - and through the Mayas - the last couple of weeks. Surprisingly, quite a few recordings that I previously thought were not that good suddenly emerge as not so bad after all!

This is especially clear now that my Mayas are pretty well burned in - a nice surprise

I think this may again be about the musicality of the Maya ...

But no, the really bad recordings are still presented with all their flaws - I think that not even the best of amps can change that

Cheers,

Jens

Thanks for the post, Jens, I'm bloody thrilled you are getting lots of use from your Mayas!!
You know, for years I have been trying to design an amp that sounds really good with lousy recordings........

But I really think I will be working at this for at least the rest of my life, that's a tough nut to crack!

Thank you Garry!

I'm also really pleased your Maya delivers good service, five years, MTBF by design is 25 years, certainly should see out me!

Merry Xmas, and Happy New Year to you, your family, and all past present and future Aspen customers........

Cheers,

Hugh

You know, with gracious permission from customers, I have put together a list of testimonials of the Maya, prompted recently from lots of information from Bjarne and Jens, and it really reads well...... no doubt, this has been a very good amp and I have no desire to retire at all, I will sell it for at least a few years!
