A component with "the lowest noise floor on the planet", certainly deserves a review and measurements by Stereophile :-) ..........
The Aavik U-380 was paired with a Naim CD5XS ($3995) used solely as a transport, Børresen 01 loudspeakers with D-TC Supreme Resonance Control ($32,500), D-TC Supreme Power Box ($14,400) and Supreme Power Distribution ($38,000), and Ansuz DTC Supreme cabling. Because of the room, the system’s strong and uniquely textured midrange came through stronger than ever. I enjoyed “Kiss the Cloud” from Yello’s Toy, especially because the system/room interaction minimized the recording’s zingy leading edge. I enjoyed just as much the unique cast the system gave to Sophie Zelmani’s “All About You.”
I’m dying to learn exactly how each of this system’s components contributes to its unique sonic signature.

... at $32.5K really use electrolytic capacitors in the crossover?
Do they use the same industrial designer as Raidho?
How does one adjust inter-channel balance on the Aavik U-380 integrated amplifier?
... used to be the main guy at Raidho, hence the family resemblance.
