| Preamp recomendation I owned the GFP 750 and even after having the Black Gate cap upgrade performed, I couldn't get beyond the sorta bright and electronic Adcom sound. Replaced it with the MUSE unit mentioned earlier and found that to be much better sounding, and not ... | |
| McCormack DNA-750 The pictures here and on AA are great - keep them coming. I am curious as to your choice of the SoniCaps, did you have those laying around or have you had success with them on other projects? No judgement here either way, just curious. | |
| SS Preamp suggestion for Ayre V3 Check out my new ad. | |
| furutech bulk ac cable I have a high degree of satisfaction with Furutech bulk cables, including power, interconnect and speaker cables, and I use them with very high quality connectors from Furutech and Oyaide. To summarize, I find them well balanced, and very good "al... | |
| McCormack DNA-750 Hello Jeffrey,Pictures are zipped and sent. I find it discouraging the lack of attention and reviews of big iron amps these days. Neither the DNA-750 or the new Cary SA-500.1 monos have had a single professional review that I have seen, and they h... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Al, a couple of things I pointed out to Grannyring were that I did in fact speak with Bill Whitlock back in Aug, 2010, and posted about my conversation in another thread that you too were involved in. I hadn't remembered that thread, but I found i... | |
| the meaning of the word "better" better means "improved" - does that clear things up?can we now move on to "best?" | |
| UPS and FedEx alternatives I am not familiar with a USPS method that offers true tracking - delivery notification sure, but not true tracking like FedEx or UPS. Ever since they lost a large mortgage payoff check that I sent via priority mail, in their packaging, with delive... | |

| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I am considering the purchase of an LA-150SE, which is apparently in the same ballpark sonically with the 300ME. I owned the LA-150 MkII at one time. While I thought it was ok, the unit I owned seemed to sound a bit dry and even the bass was not a... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? I would look for something newer, reliable, and that can be repaired in the USA since you will be on a fixed income. Coming from Atma's you will probably be happier if the amp has a tube in it. Maybe Quicksilver or the hybrid Monarchy SE-250 monos... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Back to the OP, the Joule will likely be easier to find here used (if that is your intent) than the Dude, simply because more have been made over a longer period of time. There is an LA 150 MkII for sale here now. I owned that preamp and it would ... | |
| can we still sort by zip code in items for sale? Ok, my misunderstanding. I thought he was referring to where, after opening an ad in the old system, we could just click on the zip code and the city would display. The zip code search function was great also, especially when looking for something... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Grannyring, I have an extra transformer since I went from a two-channel transformer box (both L and R channels in one box) to mono transformers (two boxes) when I moved my monoblocks further apart (although they are now closer together again). The... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Ok, I checked out my generic rca/xlr adaptors both using a multi-meter and also by taking one apart. These have a jumper from pin 1 to pin 3. Hooked up my single-ended preamp using these adaptors and have the same moderately loud buzz. Run through... |
