Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
Well its clear someone does not understand communication. Did I say contact me direct for resolution ? Yep, pretty sure its above. So we can assume any communication 10 years ago was not clearly listened to or understood. After reading the reply p... 
Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff"
First off anyone mentioning HRAM must be from long ago. The other thing is if somehow anybody feels slighted by us in any way and it was or is not rectified, its not because we refused to make it good. Because we have never done that once. Every m... 
Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions
Most amps we buy back are in the $4K range. We sold them for $6500, as we are the manufacturer. We do not retail. My guess is nobody paid $12K even though it was the retail price. Same thing that's done with most every brand. Evidently you did not... 
Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions
Hi Joe, I couldn't keep these amps in hand if I tried. I have a waiting list of people ready to buy used SSA amps. Lets just say nobody buys these for resale value. Chances are if you can find one used, you will be paying under $5K which is an ama...

Hi Joe, Zephyr by far gives the best advice. One phone call and I could give you a history of that Amp along with our company history, which, by the way, does not include a "money laundering scheme" LOL. Sorry to disappoint the dramatic fantasy.Th... 
Review: Verastarr Audio Grand Illusion Power cord
We happened to have the Combak Studio Master cord in recently to compare and we found the difference to be clearly audible in the spatial information.. In other words, the Grand Illusion beat it out with a larger, wider, deeper soundstage... simpl...

MC60's for Magnepan 20.1 top end?
I also listen to classic rock on 20.1's I believe this speaker has ruined every box speaker for me, unless I am lusting for dynamic punch in the chest, which truthfully I can do with Yamaha pro gear from Guitar Center. I have finally gotten pleasu... 
The Hub: It's SHOWTIME! Preview of CES and THE
We just got back, and yes, this year was a punch in the arm compared to last year. We showed with April Music/Stello and Triangle speakers on the 29th floor, and also cabled up the Chapter Electronics room on the same floor. Stello's Ai-500 150W i... 
Review: Verastarr Grand Illusion Series Power cord
Allow me to comment about price. We priced these cords according to the competition, and manufacturing cost. The most widely compared cord was the Nordost Valhalla, and the Grand Illusion has outperformed in every user based comparison. Valhalla i... 
Verastarr Grand Illusion Series II Power Cord
Hello to all ! Since I know it is going to come up, let me cover what was changed in the series II. 1. GI II was made lighter and thinner. The foils are the same but the new dielectric material is thinner and also naturally static free. This was d... 
Review: Verastarr Grand Illusion Series Power cord
I can sympathize with those of you reading this thread. Some of these replies do sound too good to be true. The bottom line though is that these power cords make a profound difference in any high end system. Actually two of these guys were skeptic... 
Regarding HRAM business.
We are most definitely in business. I found there was an old email in the AG profile from a recent employee. We apologize. You may simply email me direct at mp@verastarr.comRegardsMike Powell

Hello everyone. Thanks for your interest in our newest development. First off these cables are still in pre-launch and therefore not up on our site yet. We are taking this time to get them into the hands of Audiophiles like yourselves before forma...
