Teajay, I get the problem now. You aren't carefully reading the posts here .I didn't say you were being nefarious. Re-read my post. "Nefarious" was related to George's "defense".And you are still implying that George is marketing his wares, "diffe...

Teajay, you posted, "I have no historical awareness that Ralph or any other well known designer has ever pushed as hard to sell his product as George has, if you can remember someone please share."You didn't just "share your opinion". In your own ...

Teajay,I haven't for a moment felt that Georgelofi was "selling". Defending? Sure, and rightly so. In my opinion, there have been numerous manufacturers, modders, retailers, etc. that have been egregious in attempting to sell their wares here on t...

Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Banquo,Your experience mirrors mine. If you look back in this thread, I originally posted that my Supratek bettered the LSA in my system during my initial trial period, which as I recall, was a rather short audition. I later gave the LSA another c...

$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?

$3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas?
