Preamp Deal of the Century
ethifi:to be honest, mick hasn't given me a price yet. last time i questioned him about pricing, he stated that he was still trying to bring them in around $3000. i try to not email him too much as i imagine that could get annoying quickly. once i... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
check out the 6moons mini-review of the new dual cabernet:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/supratek3/dualcabernet.htmllooks like mick went back to the 6SN7 & tj 101d combo for the dual model. it's a pretty interesting read. i can't wait til ... 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
are you talking new or used? the best sub $3000 speaker used are, in my opinion, the gershman avant garde rx-20 speakers. there are 2 pair right now going for $2000 which is an absolute steal. i bought mine about 3 years ago for $2800 after shippi... 
Your Future System, within reach
right now i'm concentrating all my efforts on my 2-channel system. i've got a pair of von schweikert dB99 enroute right now. a pair of supratek malbec monoblocks on order (??? delivery date). i'm slowly purchasing new cabling as funds allow. maybe... 
$1300 used amp to effortlessly drive VR4JR
ludimagis:i've owned several acurus and aragon amps in my days, including the palladium ii monoblocks. aragon amps are great if you're looking for huge, gutteral power, but they are very, very neutral in my opinion. they will not give you a "laid ... 
VSA VR4 SR or JR as a match to my system and room
i call vsa today to inquire about a used set of vsa speakers that are listed here. the guy who answered told me damon would call back in 30 minutes. about 2 hours later, i called back. got the same guy who told me damon was still busy. i told him ... 
Different lenghts of CNR b'tween left/right speak
theoretically at the transmission speed of the signal, the different lengths would be negligible. however, unless you are 100% sure that you will never want to upgrade your speaker cables, i'd go with a 16 ft pair as it will be much, much easier t...

"unintentionally switched during cleaning"ahhh! all too well do i know the pleasure and pain of the chrome chassis. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
ethifi:i don't suppose you've got one channel set to high gain and one channel set to low gain? just a thought. 
Emm Labs DAC6e-is it that good?
tvad:the emm dac6e has what appears to be 3 aes/ebu inputs for pcm which can be connected to any transport with appropriate cabling or adapters. granted, with the emm transport you won't get the full benefit of passing dsd, but it's a good startin... 
Stout Silver Interconnects
can't say i've ever heard of them. if the price is right, i say give them a call. hopefully then spend more time and care in the construction of their cables than they do their website. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
ray & slowhand:to be honest, mick hasn't set firm pricing yet. before i sent in my deposit, he stated around $3000 so i'm presuming it's on the higher side of the 3. might be foolish of me, but i've learned to trust mick in my dealings with hi... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
i just sent in my deposit for a pair of malbec monoblocks. mick said there's been a lot of interest so i have no idea how long it will be before they're delivered. i made it 8 months waiting for my chardonnay so i've learned how the be patient. i ... 
Eliminate system hum
try the granite audio ground zero. it's specifically designed to eliminate hum and reduce your overall noise floor. i've never used one so i can't say how good they really work. call the company and see if they offer any type of money back offer i... 
Cary V12R - is it "bridgeable"?
call cary. i'm sure for a nominal fee they can do the job for you.
