| Anyone has experience with Sheer Audio's 01A DHT preamp? The 3rd generation of this preamp finally arrived after much wait, as the eBay seller Q/A the unit for me, making sure it has no hum, pristine cosmetics, etc, before shipping out to me.This isn't any formal review nor I am affiliated with Sheer Au... | |
| Anyone has experience with Sheer Audio's 01A DHT preamp? Thanks winoguy17. I pulled the trigger on that 01A DHT preamp this morning and will update on what I think about it. Thanks again! | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Perhaps I should put my $0.02 here from an end-user perspective. I have owned at least seven (7) different OTL tube amps, some are big brands, some are DIYs from experienced (10+ yrs) tube amp hobbyists with extensive engineering experience.IMHO, ... | |
| Kora Amp and Preamp Repair I know this is an old thread but the record must be set straight. I stand corrected about Kora'a reliability. Kora is actually very reliable and resilient if owner/serviceman use it right.SPECIFICALLY, ALL THOSE ISSUES WERE DUE TO THE WRONG TUBES ... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I cannot a agree more with Ebm's comment. I had owned the vintage MC30 monos, MC225, MC240, MC250, MC275, MA230, MC2105, and the modern MC2275. I kept getting suckered to buy McIntosh because of the look and 'pride of ownership'.But my ears keep t... | |
| Audioquest King Cobra - Genuine or Fake I would take AQ's claim of counterfeit with a gain of salt. I recall NBS tended to claim the cables not coming thru their own channel of resellers are all fake. They did that to me as well, when my system was using all NBS cables (several thousand... | |

| Does anyone know how to reach Steve Lacrone Are you sure you want to send your $$$ equipment there? My experience with Service Department is not something I could post on the internet anywhere without risking a lawsuit, if you know what I meant.:-) | |
| Would a power conditioner stop a 60 cycle hum ? A $30-45 cable TV ground loop isolator from Amazon does the trick for me. No expensive conditioner solution needed (didn't work in my case anyway). Some brands are way more susceptible than others, btw: My VAC 30/30 is the worst - the hum sounds l... | |
| Kora Audio Company I was once a big fan of Kora until I got burnt with thousands of dollars lost with the repair, near fire, et al.Their products sound very musicial but they are not reliable and they are not servicable once Kora pulled out from the U.S. market.I on... | |
| Help with a Kora Galaxy tube amp You may as well claim this a total lost. I once owned an Kora Galaxy Reference amp. The bias instruction was so bad and unclear, the amp technically is unbiasable. Before Kora withdrawn from the U.S. market, Kora asked the owners to have it biased... | |
| Music server Anybody has experience with Sono CONNECT (player) pairing with TiVX S1 HD (server)?The VortexBox 1Tb NAS (server) also looks promising since it has a built-in CD ripper that makes life easier. In Amazon, somebody use this to replace his Mark Levin... | |

| Gabriel Gold vs Marigo vs NBS Well this is not a dead thread yet I hope! So...even being disappointed by my experience with the Rev 2R, I heed the advice of some members here, and got an pair of Rapture to try again. I agree that they are correct. Rapture is significantly bett... |
