Preamp Deal of the Century
Would love to, but don't need phono and the Cortese would be considerably more expensive. Otherwise I would snap it up in a heartbeat.Warren 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Aloha Tennispro,Mick is definitely for real. I have spoken with other people in Australia who sell audio equipment and Mick is well known and for real. You have to understand that this is not a company per se in the usual sense. It is one guy maki... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Anyone had any feedback from Mick lately on a timetable for your preamp?I ordered mine Feb. 15th and haven't received it yet. I don't know if it is in the works or if Mick has even started it yet. I don't want to bug Mick, but I am curious if anyo...

Didn't work for me. 
Need recommendations on cables?
RCoppel,As you can see from this thread, there is no one right answer. Many products perform well. You should also consider a DIY cable. I made my own silver cables and they are absolutely stunning.Try to audition those that you can and you might ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I just emailed Mick yesterday to ask him if the Supratek came with an IEC or a hard-wired power cord. He said IEC. (That's what I had hoped as I want to use one of my Virtual Dynamic power cords with it)I did not ask him what the status of my unit... 
Power Cord Challenge
BTW, you said you want to supply the stock cord. I can't speak to what you refer to as your stock cord and maybe it is relatively good. I can only comment on the stock cord that came on my CDP vs. the VD power cord.I know it is rhetorical to say I... 
Power Cord Challenge
Jhunter, about two months ago I was in your camp. I thought power cords were pure snake oil. A friend of mine kept telling me what a difference they made so I decided to buy a Virtual Dynamics Power 2 Cryo. I knew I could sell it and not take much... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I ordered mine in the middle of February. I am hoping to receive it soon. I'm sure Mick is swamped though.Warren 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Anyone received a new Supratek from Mick lately?I am waiting as I know several others are. 
Virtual Dynamics Recall
Aloha Rick,I appreciate you talking with me to clear this up. I misunderstood how the IEC and neutral and hot wires were connected. Now that Rick has straightened me out, I hope the VD cord is as good as his customer service. I must say I am very ... 
Virtual Dynamics Recall
A have question that I need help with about my VD Power 2 Cryo.The big blade on my Virtual Dynamics AC plug (line) plugs into the corresponding (line) or white wire of the wall receptacle.However, when I check the VD cord for continuity on the fem... 
Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners.
Gboren,I vehemently disagree.Their ethnicity has a great deal to do with "information necessary to help the reader spot a scam."Should one pursue a purchase through Audiogon (or any other board) the possibly may arise for the buyer to talk with th... 
The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys
I just made DIY silver speaker cables in teflon tubing, twisted every three inches and taped with an unusual method on each twist (the twist can't move). I used pure dead soft 16ga. silver from Hoover & Strong and I can't believe what I am hea... 
Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners.
I became very suspicious of a "For Sale" ad that was placed just after I placed a "Wanted to buy Ad" for a Berning ZH270.I communicated with this person with several emails. Something didn't seem right. Glreno, I was in law enforcement for a numbe...
