| Poor Customer Service RE: a highly-regarded manufacturer of tube amps. A Psvane KT-88 blew up my amp, and I needed a cardboard shipping container to accomodate its return it to the factory far away from me in the USA. After badgering by emails (to which I was informe... | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? I've partnered the 260D with Moon's 780D - a match made in heaven. EXCEPT (there's always one, isn't there ?) the tray swallowed one of my cd's. After listening to it, I ejected the tray fromthe remote, and, lo, the tray was empty. Techies gave m... | |
| my cd transport hungry for new music ? uh oh - sim being dead ? did you pay in advance ? I bought their transport and DAC because they had such a good line-up of products and marketed whole systems. But pricey amps/preamps for sure. -john | |
| my cd transport hungry for new music ? I owned the factory-modded S7i happily for years until the transport gave out. I sent to Audio Research for replacement, but that one lasted only 3 months. I've saved the unit for a backup DAC.I still haven't heard from SimMoon - is silence the... | |

| my cd transport hungry for new music ? jafant - tho I had 2 wadia transports over the years, they just gave out from old age. the current hungry one is a Sim Moon 260D standalone. I'm waiting to hear back from their tech guys - I suspect the unit is not user-accessible. Dr_john | |

| Favorite cable brand. After decades of switching, I've been satisfied with, first (in and out of my Moon 780Dv2 DAC) -- a full loom of Audience Front Row wires: XLR digital IC, RCA analog IC, and their mighty power cord. Speaker cables are Purist Dominus, and IC's ... | |
| Flux Hifi Sonic Stylus Cleaner heyitsmedrjohn -- thanks for documenting your findings with the photos, which are the most convincing proof that can be given. You saved me $149.99, because I already have Magic Eraser. Now off to treat my Snakewood Madake and Dynavector-T. Tha... | |

| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? A Psvane KT88 with a lint short brought down my beloved VAC Phi 300.1, requiring that it be shipped to Sarasota, Fla. for repair. This happened prior to a national show, so VAC couldn't get to it for 3 months. No music for 3 months. One of the mo... |
