| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? @georgehifi, As I review the schematics and look at the actual pots in the Lightspeed I'm wanting to confirm that the middle tab on the pot is the ground and the other two tabs are for the input and output. I ask because the Noble stepped attenuat... | |

| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME In order for the IRS to know about these transactions PayPal has to tell them, otherwise it's the honor system and the IRS expects you to report the income. According to PayPal guidelines they are required to report gross payments received for sel... | |

| Is Spiral Groove still in business? I did some checking and it appears the email that @saburo posted is the best way to reach Allen. He may be a consultant for MoFi now according to the person I checked with. | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it Willy Hermann is one of the best but his backlog these days is a good year out when I checked with him late last year. His fees will range based on what your deck needs. | |
| Is Spiral Groove still in business? While I cannot comment of the status of the company I know Allen moved out of Berkeley and I believe is living on the East Coast now. He was a member of the SFAS and one of the members has his turntable. I will see if I can get contact information... | |
