| THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME What I'm still curious about is how the IRS found out about the transactions. | |
| 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... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? @georgehifi, thanks I will give it a try and see. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? @georgehifi, I saw both of those links and the reason I want to use stepped attenuators is not because I think it will provide better sound, but just being able to count the steps on each channel for balance purposes. I know it sounds silly but I ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Glad someone else is enjoying the Lightspeed. I have owned mine for over 10 years now. I also have the dual attenuators and while they work just fine, I have often wondered if there is a stepped attenuator alternative. IIRC the Lightspeed uses a 1... | |
| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? I just had a pair of ESL 57s restored by Sheldon Stokes and recommend him highly. Great to work with. Another option I discovered is Scott Frankland Associates in San Jose, CA. Scott is an authorized Quad service center and upon my visits to his s... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration @mike_in_nc place a phone call to Duke Lejuene at AudioKinesis who manufactures the Swarm which he'll tell you was based on a theory by Earl Geddes. If you search the web I think there is also a white paper out there by Earl that explains the conc... | |

| 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... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it I'd stick with the Maxelkl XL-II. It was always my go to tape with any deck including my Nak 550. | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity While I am sure the Mye stands are excellent, there is another person who also makes stands for Maggies. The company is Magnarisers and while I do not own Maggies I was impressed enough with the stands and their price that I contacted him to make ... | |
| Leaky capacitors need replacement? Which MkII do you have, the fixed bias version (you set the bias) or the cathode bias version (amp sets the bias)? I ask because all fixed bias MkIIs are well over 3 years old (mine is at least 15) to my knowledge. A cathode bias version may be wi... |
