Our condolences to Srajan of e-pub 6Moons. It seems he has contracted a strange form of insomnia that forces him to trawl the seedy audio underground in search of esoteric tube tail.

Seriously, this dude peeps more unusual equipment in a month than most major print publications do all year. So much, in fact, that we can't even cover it all. So here we go with a bevy of "preview" articles on all sorts of strange components. And by "preview" we mean a normal article only to be followed up later by a 6 page dissertation on the internal workings, genealogy and metaphysical feng shui of said component.

And, like any trend-setter, Srajan is always controversial and opinionated which, of course, is what makes 6Moons exciting. So check out these upcoming articles for all the hyper-detailed goods:

Musical Reference RM-10 [$1995 stereo amp, 75 watts]
J.C. Verdier Triode Spirit 45 [$2500 stereo amp, 20 watts]
Genesis M60 [$3995 monoblock amps, 60 watts. Yes, that Genesis]
First Watt F3 [$2500 stereo solid state amp, 10 watts]
Melody SWH1688ii [Roughly $2500 preamplifier, pictured at top. Though I didn't mention it in my coverage, Zu Cable rocked one of these at the VTV EXPO and got lotsa love]

More pictures next page. Oh yeah, the J.C. Verdier website was recently voted the, ahem, worst audio site on the net by the knitting social over at Audio Asylum. I don't know, I think J.C. Verdier's site may be a work of genius - I'll never forget it for as long as I live.
