Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
Leica man, I have to say that the PE conditioner from Alan Maher( I haven't heard the Noise Destroyer) can also add a bit of warmth to my system. Maybe that's why Alan himself recommends placing the initial PE into an outlet that has the brightest... 
A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?
Fatparrot, I also hear a marked difference when downgrading the cables,components. Maybe because the new stuff usually has to go through a lengthy break-in period before you notice the improvement. The older cables need basically a short "settling... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
If anyone is still experimenting with tube rolling in their TP 2.0 preamps, in my system I've yet to find a better tube for locations one and three than an early 60's Siemens Cca, but I recently bought a NOS pair of 60's Siemens E88CC with the A-f... 
Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
Hey Ozzy. Give us your impressions of the PE from time to time. 
Noise Destoyer Power Conditioner
Ozzy, please let us know what you think of the PE from Alan Maher. In my system, it made a noticable improvement in both video and audio. Allow about a week of break in, however, I heard a noticeable improvement after just a couple of days. Also, ... 
How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics?
Inflation is a strange thing. As I recall, the top-of-the-line 2SW speakers retailed for about $8,000.00 back in 1979. Only the very wealthy( usually doctors and lawyers) bought these from us. We did, however, sell quite a few more pairs of the mo...

Devore Super 8 and B&W 805s-shootout
I seem to recall a while back that Stereophile had the older 805N speakers rated in their Class 1 category, but later recanted and demoted them to Class 2 because they weren't full range speakers. I haven't kept up with the Stereophile reviews in ... 
Does anyone have the new VAC Phi 300 amplifier?
Fplanner2000, I would love to hear your impressions as the amp further breaks in. The McCormack DNA 500 is an amzing amp for a solid state, so your comparisons would be appreciated. 
How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics?
I worked for an audio salon in Oklahoma City from 1977-1980 while I was attending college and we had the Beveridge line. They were an amazing speaker that I hold dear to my heart to this day. Every day after classes, I'd go to the high end room ju... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
By the way, fellow TP 2.0 owners. I just put one of these tweak PE units in my system and it has been the best tweak I have ever tried. I look at it now as not so much a tweak but more as a component. The best $75.00 I've ever spent for my system ... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I think that you should submit Joseph's best for review. For those who can't afford it, they can get the "lesser" model and upgrade later. I also feel that both the linestage and phono should be submitted, either as separate or integrated. The ide... 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
LOL! I had almost forgotten about Porziob's infatuation with coffee tables. 
Best modern EL84 tube
The JJ is my favorite new EL84. My favorite vintage NOS is Siemens E84L. This is in my 1959 Pilot receiver.

My "dark" knobs are Redheart also. I just now realized this.
