| Preamp Deal of the Century As an aside, Audience is now making a Teflon cap that they advertise here on the 'Gon as the "fastest cap ever made".Either Audience realized that the V-Caps are far superior to their own Auricaps and they were getting killed in the marketplace or... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century As much as I respect Mick's work, my ears strongly disagree with him on the V-Cap upgrade. The difference was immediately apparent the instant I fired my Chardonnay back up. And I don't mean by a small margin. I think there are others here who ins... | |
| What beats the Evolution Acoustics MM3 ?? Fbhifi,What are the super-premium cross-over parts and internal wiring that you referred to? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ethifi,There is no doubt that the`V-Caps made the biggest difference. However, I did the DACT first and months later did the V-Caps, so I am sure I heard more of the V-Caps due to the added clarity of the DACT. Had I done the V-Caps first maybe th... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Ethifi,I used the CT2 (stereo) - 100K Ohmhttp://www.dact.com/html/attenuators.htmlIt is not really hard to install. You will have to use a file to make a small slot in the attenuator hole of the Supratek chassis. The DACT has a small ear on the si... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Oops, I mistakenly said my "stock Chard."I should have said, my Chard with V-Caps, Dact and wired from the RCA input, by-passing the selector switch, straight to the DACT using gold alloy wire. | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Slowhand,If you have already posted your speaker impressions, I missed them. I am in the market. Could you please tell me what you heard that impressed you and what disappointed you.Thanks,Warren | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin, after you sober up you might want to try posting again. $1500 for WE 350Bs...te he he he. Tell ya what, I'll trade ya a CJ PV 2a for the 350Bs. Have you seen what vintage CJs are going for now...if you can find one! Especially in Norte ... | |

| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Les,I opted for the upgraded NextGen connectors so I can't speak to GA-0's otherwise, but the GA-0's with NextGens are very revealing with incredible tonality and without a hint of brightness in my system. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Priz,Just a quick question. When you auditioned the Audio Metallurgy GA-0's, did they have the upgraded Next-Gen RCA's or the standard RCA's? | |
