Amps for Avalon Osiris CAT JL3, Boulder 2060, Dart

Oyaide outlets
An Isoclean wall socket replaced a Porter Port in one of my customers' systems. The outlet feeds his entire system which plugs into an Isoclean noise filter with dual power transformers. He couldn't get over the improvement new out of the box. Of ... 
What;s up with all the Lector 7TL upgrades?
Hiernote, are you on a mission? Did it ever occur to you it's a typographical error? 
What;s up with all the Lector 7TL upgrades?
Hiernote, your post is incorrect, and I thought you would recall the earlier thread where the distributor responded to questions.I sense there are some misunderstandings or perhaps some other reason for your posts. Maybe we should get acquainted, ... 
Audiophile Liquidator....OK??
Caveat emptor. The photograph on their website does not match the address given for their 'corporate office', which is in fact the address of a health food store in San Francisco, as I have been told by a well known audio manufacturer. Further, no... 
Audio Research D-52B Manual?
Have you called ARC? Some years ago they had a manual for one of their old tube crossovers I had and didn't even charge anything to send a photocopy. Good luck and listening!Brian

Fanfare Int'l (Victor Goldstein) was the former distributor for Lector. Aaudio Imports is the distributor as of a few months ago and has been ordering product regularly, although demand has been high. As a dealer for Lector I am eagerly awaiting t... 
ASR Basis Exclusive or Einstein The TT's Choice
I have the balanced version of the Einstein phono stage, while others I know have the single ended version. I haven't heard them side by side, although Sabertouch's description of the differences is in line with what I have been told. The dual pow... 
ASR Basis Exclusive or Einstein The TT's Choice
