Hard to believe something like this goes on for so long with all this conjecture and guesswork when one call could save major time. No biggie if you guys dont care.. One of the guys contacted me tonight about this thread .. So heres my experience ... 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Mastersound of Italy.NAT Audio of Serbia 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Hey Roj, Its Verastarr Mikey.. Id like to know when we roll tubes and hear differences that are so different and unique even when its the same exact tube type, how and what exactly are we hearing ? Lets take 2 6sn7GT for instance, that for the p...

Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
I guess AudioGon deleted or censored my post with the funny as sht LG story I wonder why..

Richier, I'm sure youve got some amazing resources and things I do not. Perhaps children. I see happy families with well raised children and its my reminder that all is OK in the world. I thought everyone said enjoy the music.. yeah happy listenin...

Thanks for the support guys, Truly If I am not doing something involved with my favorite hobby which is HiFi, thats when I'm uncomfortable. If I'm stressed, I can actually go sit at my workbench and calm down. I try to creat great things for us to... 
The "how many reviews it got" rule
So refreshing to see the group at least has some members aware of the audio racket. re: media, mfg and brick and mortar dealers. The trifecta of how to control a market. Keep people in the dark, or confuse them with crafted special terms for every... 
Kinki on a Sunday - let us see.....
I also have NAT monos, but mine are PP for 125W of pure Class A 805 tube goodness although PP. Theres no other way to keep things differential through my rig than PP if the amp is using SE tubes. I did finally try Jeff Rowland SS monos which alter... 
Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
I just got off the phone with Pete and as stated above it was in fact a 3930. We never actually carried through with 3930 because Petes order taught us that Denon had gone to a chip architecture in that section making the full mod impossible. This... 
Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
I found an old email where I tell Alex to ship this guy a brand new unopened unit and what I would do on the rest. It was in the hands of the best in the country and if Alex could not do the mod it means it was impossible on the new model. We agre... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD

Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
@68 Pete, the story keeps changing. If I got Alex to work on this for you I performed a miracle on your behalf. If he could not do it, nobody could. If mods could not be done, what was there to fix ? Clearly it worked for a year, and if that was w... 
Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
Hi David, I can probably explain better. First off we offer the cable upgrades. Then as far as the MPC, we took out the single filter cap and replaced it with dual FC type, and that was the first test and it clearly worked. Next step is replacing ...
