DAC’s
@kairosman  Very interested in your listening comparison of the relatively cheap Gustard to your Lampizator. Both are on my short list of DAC's to consider. Looking forward to your thoughts.   LP

Fixing Wall Shudder
I agree with a second drywall layer. Use construction adhesive generously between the 2 layers along with 2 1/2" drywall screws. That should firm up things nicely along with less difficulty.      LP  
New Project RS2T transport
Just checking in with you. How is your RS2T-Nikola II pairing going as you’ve gained additional burn-in use/hours? I guess if this was the race, I would be the tortoise. Next time that I listen will surpass the 60 hours of listening. Even to t... 
Cable design is a lot like creating a pizza
@roxy54  Congratulations on never having had a bad pizza.😁

@robshaw  I had questions and ended up ordering through an exchange of e-mails with Keetawakee.      LP

@robshaw  I'm sorry but I can't offer any additional help on this subject. I know Charles has a great system along with the knowledge to make solid decisions. When he mentioned his respected friend auditioned a few quality candidates and Charles...

@robshaw  That is the cord from the power supply to the Project, correct?   Yes the power supply to the RS2-T cable. The supplied cable I now have buried so I'm not exactly sure of its length. However, it's pretty long. If you sure of position...

@charles1dad  "The Nikola II has an upgraded larger transformer, heavier gauge wire and better quality Mundorf capacitors. " Yes, looks like quality parts probably throughout. I was impressed to see a Furutech IEC as well.

@robshaw @charles1dad  I believe Robshaw and I are out of the woods in the area of reliability for the foreseeable future. Hopefully this is due to Pro-Ject addressing the issues and not the case of the squeaky wheel. My RS2-T and Nikola II impr...

@charles1dad  I contemplated discussing with Keetakawee a possible upgrade to the umbilical, but let go of the idea because of all the delays and no mention on the website. Did you initially use the stock cord for a good period of time prior to ...

@charles1dad  I received the Nikola last Wednesday, and the RS2-T this past Saturday. Both arrived in excellent condition and are functioning as intended. But do I hate break-in time.  I intensified the process by retreating connections with Ma... 
Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV
Tom at Brooks Berdan retired. I don't believe they offer amp repairs anymore.  
Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV
There are some schematics on D.I.Y. forum that would be useful for most techs. The BEL is not a familiar design to most. I would want the whole amp rightfully looked over. It's just too strange with those jacks.
