I was reading about this very interesting new amplifier - Robert Koda?s ground breaking amplifier - 匠心 Takumi K160 mono amplifier, described in this link.

Then, I read this article.

And guess what: He is Mr. Koch. Born in South Africa.
"he decided to work independently and taking the maiden name of his wife he went out into the world. But first he had to be born somewhere. This happened to be in South Africa, in a family "infected" with audiophilism. His father was an avid lover of high-end sound. His parents' first concern when looking for a new home would be living room acoustics."
He builds awesome kit but a bit out of the price range of the average audio person in SA.

I would love to listen to one, so if anyone has one, please invite me over for an hour or two.
