Has your gear ever hurt you??? i've got matching scars on my forearms due to the heatsinks from a previous plinius sa-102 amplifier. i was reaching around behind and connecting the speaker wires. when i pulled my arms back...ouchie! | |
Preamp Deal of the Century fyi:mick has updated the site with new pics of the sauvignon and cabernet dual. i'm amazed that he was able to incorporate his new dual circuit for bi-amping while keeping the cost at it's original $5k mark. still foaming at the mouth for my malbe... | |
Recommentation for small floorstander maybe i missed it, but if you like the gershman's why not buy them? i had a pair which i recently sold and they are one of the best speakers under $5k that i've ever heard. their bass is tight and authoritative with the right solid state gear. it ... | |
Mirage OMD-28 i owned a pair of mirage frx-7 ($700 retail) which i used for music. i also had an entire frx package for home theater duty as well. mirage speakers overall were decent, but your estimation of mid-fi is correct in relationship to my experiences. i... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century no amp at this time. i was previously running cary audio slm-200 monoblocks into my gershmans. then i had an art audio carissa which wasn't powerful enough for the gershmans. i've now sold the gershmans and bought von schweikert dB99SE speakers wh... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century hopefully my name is on a pair as well. of course, mick has said that the chroming process is very time consuming due to a high rejection rate. i'm keeping my fingers crossed. it's so hard to walk through the living room and see my von schweikert'... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century no word from mick yet. i put my deposit in on june 28. from what i recall, i'm toward the top of the list. i'll definitely post once they arrive. it's so hard sitting in my living room looking at my speakers unamplified. | |

Preamp Deal of the Century colink04:i just scanned my manual. my chardonnay is close to your configuration (minus the balanaced outputs). here are the links to the pages. enjoy your preamp. i'm sure you will.http://kgturner.home.mchsi.com/supratek_page1.jpghttp://kgturner.h... | |
Wher did the DB99 go ? the dB99 is no longer in production. i called vsa and spoke with albert directly about this. he stated that people were ordering fewer and fewer and that cost wise it was no longer a good financial decision to keep producing them. glad i picked up... | |
KT88 Monoblock amp makes a spitting sound at times i had a spitty sound in my system which i narrowed down to a failing 6SN7. once i replaced the 6SN7, the spit went away. i'd check your input tubes before you replace your output tubes. | |
Preamp Deal of the Century FYI:mick has updated the site to relfect new pricing and information on the malbec and mondeuse (high power malbec) monoblocks. i'm suprised at the pricing of the chrome plated option though. i wonder if that new price increase carries over into h... | |
Which one is perfect for music most audiophiles prefer rca digital to optical primarily because the majority of high end gear doesn't have optical inputs or outputs. rca digital is a more robust cable compared to optical which is more fragile and easy to damage due to the fiber... | |
Preamp Deal of the Century ethifi:the malbecs are a push-pull amplifier while the merlots are single-ended. the merlot is priced at $7000 per pair last i recalled. according to mick, the malbec will have two iterations. one low powered (30-50 watts) and one high powered (10... |
