| Counterpoint SA20 My experience with Mike has been very good. I had the basic upgrade to one of the amps and then did the rest of the modifications myself. Whenever I emailed Mike with questions regarding what parts I wanted to try versus what he used, he was alway... | |
| Reflections of another year in Audio I was so frustrated with hearing high priced mediocre audio gear that my friend and I finally began building our own gear. Once I heard his preamp design, I knew that there was no other commercially available preamp that could sound like it. We se... | |
