Thanks to Paul McGowan


About a year ago I bought a PS Audio BHK pre-amp  & was very pleased with the improvement in sound quality over the Rotel I had been using. I put in a pair of 60s era Telefunken tubes & thought it sounded great so I went shopping. Recently  I found a pair of PS Audio M1200 mono blocks & thought what the heck. I got them home & installed NOS 1958 Telefunken.tubes.
I should mention the amp I had in the system was a highly modified Carver TFM 45 I bought in the 80s.
What a difference! Have you ever had that OMG moment when you get to hear your music for the first time. I should have ditched the Carver yrs ago.
My hat's off to Paul McGowan!

@arafiq : I only had one post here in this thread, which was removed. Not sure why. Some of the usual characters must have reported it.

My wife often gives me dirty looks, although I’m often clueless, I doubt it’s racist :)

@fertguy congratulations on your new component 

Yup!

If you get a chance, read Paul’s autobiography, 99% True: Almost a National Bestseller.

Humorous and insightful—a very entertaining read.

Thanks for posting this. It prompted me to get the book. Audiobook rather, in Audible, I listen to during my commute to work.

 

Very well written AND read book. I did not realize Paul writes so well. He is definitely talented 

 

Guys like Paul McGowan are rare. A ton of practical knowledge, hands on experience, business acumen, and willingness to share his knowledge. Unfortunately these guys are getting old, and they will eventually disappear, leaving the world with inferior alternatives. And yet, it’s a pity he gets attacked by the measurement morons all the time. The Monday couch potato quarterbacks
