Anyone tried to get customer service from TALON??
Maybe it really wasn't O.J. - and it was --- Robyatt's computer! 
Walker Diamond arm
I have not yet made the move myself, but have had several opportunities to hear it on Lloyd's system. Had I not heard it for myself, I would be hard pressed to believe one could improve upon the Proscenium Gold - but it is indeed a major leap forw...

Preamp Deal of the Century
John-The imaging issues you are experiencing have not been a problem in my room. I have also not spent any serious effort tube rolling, save for the swapping of the 6SN7s for a pair of RCA grey glass VT231s which I really liked. Like you, I have b... 
anybody have/hear Wolcott with dynamic speakers?
My above post indicated that I was using the Wolcott P220 mono with wide band transformer and bias circuit upgrade to drive Magnepan 3.6R.I can now report that I am very happy using the same Wolcott amps to drive Kharma Ceramique 2.2 loudspeakers,... 
Home made cable lifters.
Be careful when you construct your own cable lifters. One of the reasons people use them is to lift cables off the carpet to negate the effect of plastics and other artificial fibers in the carpet. Using plastics and foam in a lifter adds back in ... 
Built a Flexi-type rack?
I left the the grease on till near completion. I did remove the excess with a cotton rag before starting. You are going to be threading A LOT of nuts when you put the thing together. It makes the work somewhat easier. When you are ready to clean, ... 
Built a Flexi-type rack?
The price of brass is going up daily. If you add up the cost of 4 threaded brass rods, enough nuts and washers for a three shelf unit these days, you are close to 400.00 BEFORE adding in the cost of the shelf materials and cones for the feet. If y...

Audio Icon/Idol - Who would you like to meet?
I'd like to meet Albert Porter ;)Hey Albert: Didn't Milla Jovovich first say "Big Bad Boom" in Fifth Element? I'm not so sure I'd want those comments in my listening room. 
Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6?
Mrtennis-what you are reporting vis a vie the 3.6R/Wolcott presentation has not been my experience. the Wolcott P220 sounds nothing like a solid state amp. While it is true that the amp can control planars and electrostats like a solid state amp, ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Nothing yet, but last night I did the "monthly ear recalibration" by attending a performance by the Haddonfield Symphony Orchestra. The program was Shoshtakovich "Symphony No.11 (the year 1905)". Sixty-five minutes spead across 4 movements. It nev... 
Built a Flexi-type rack?
The way I went isn't cheap either. I had Lloyd Walker custom tap a set of large Valid Points to fit my rods, which are 5/8 -11 right hand thread. If you use 5/8-11 right hand thread, you can get a set of Salamander feet that work for about 39.00/s...
