No response from sellers??
It's possible the speakers are sold so the sellers not responding.It's ridiculous to assume your lack of feedbsck is the reason for no response especially you're the buyer. Sellers don't ship until payment is received or cleared so no $$, no ship. 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
08-24-12: Charles1dadJwm and Clio09,I don`t see where anyone here has downplayed the importance of the circuit and its instrinsic quality. A good circuit is the foundation but its ultimate potential and performance can be hurt or aided by the choi...

08-20-12: Charles1dadIn the current 6Moons there is a review of the 75,000 dollar Tenor linestage. The designer Michael Broeck has a very interesting discussion concerning negative feedback,odd order distortion,natural sound and 'natural' distorti... 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
To take it a step further, end users voice their products with tweaks such as tube rolling, PC, fuses ... I find the very best design needs proper parts to maximize it's potential. 
World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above?
Hmm! I was just using caps as an example. I was referring to everything that goes into a final product. Customers don't just buy a design but a finished product that is built from a group of SELECTED parts. Just the fact you chose solder, wire, tr...

Fuses that matter.
Tbg, I had a full loom of SR Apex ICs and SC for years and impressed so will try their fuses. I'm a simple person so will just use what sounds best to me. Don't care to measuring them, white paper, if I'm drunk, placebo effect, full moon ... too m...
