I wonder if they are going to be stocked in NZ..?

The Absolute Sound (Greg Weaver) seems to be similarly impressed:

" What is so special about this affordable upstart is that it so clearly excels at the crucial fundamentals: bass extension and definition, midbass punch, midrange timbre, texture, and purity, treble extension and air, and rhythmic drive. And its remarkable quietness delivers a measure of resolution and transparency to LP playback not found from any phonostage in my experience or memory priced under the $2000 mark. "
