I am currently bidding on eBay on a Musical Fidelity unit.

If I lose there, I'll go with the Yagin. Do you think Yagin is superior? My bid is not that high, I'll definitely lose if I don't go higher, thus I might let it die if Yagin is better.

What would you do?

Thanks
Alex,

I knew you were going to ask this question of me. Here is a review I did of the Yaqin tube buffer that I own comparing it to the Musical Fidelity that I own as well:http://www1.epinions.com/content_312424107652

Bottom line: if you lose the eBay bid, I would go with the Yaqin. More flexibility, better sound via tube rolling to customize the buffer to your system vs. the MF which forces you to only use the 6112 mil-spec tubes that are soldered in onto the board. Oops! Just realized that the one you are bidding on is original MF tube buffer and not the the one with the mil-spec tube. The one you are bidding on is supposed to be a lesser sounding one than the X10v3 that I own. So I would definitely go with the Yaqin instead.
