Hi Terry, Thanks for a very good overview of the K50. I was initially rather sceptical of the K50 but having had one on home demo from Elite Audio I have bought one and will be using it from now on for general listening and development of my WAVE cables. I am convinced by its capabilities, flexibility and sound quality. Nick.
