| Preamp Deal of the Century BWhite is right, it is best to order the Supratek stock. Mick is a purist and as such he believes that the more "options" the more the possiblity of degrading the sound. I did not get a remote control on mine, but I did get the XLR's and they work... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well said Fiddler! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bmotorcycle and Jewel hasen, you will both be rewarded for your wait. I have been involved in high end audio for 25 years and this is the biggest single improvement that I have ever made to my system. It is that Good! I got frustrated with the wai... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Brian, this is Tom. I bought a pr. of Sylvania VT-231's that are JAN from 1940's in the original boxes and they sound fantastic in my Syrah. I am also buying a pr. of Sylvania GTB's that I like the sound of. I think I have found Tungsol 5881's ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I play more vinyl, but the line stage is also very good. I use a pioneer "stable platter" CD player. BWhite got the Chardonney which is the same preamp with linestage only and he told me it was the best that he has come across. For $2500 (line/pho... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century BWhite e-mailed me a couple of weeks ago and said that he and some friends compared his Supratek to a $15,000 Conrad Johnson ART preamp. He said that they all agreed that the Supratek bested the CJ in every way, and I believe it. Yes it does sound... | |

| Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express? Fed Ex Ground used to be RPS, and when Fed EX bought them out they did keep most of the RPS employees. Fed Ex operates much differently than RPS did and getting these employees to learn the Fed Ex way has been frustrating at the least. There will ... | |
| ARC 100.2 pop and hum The slight pop when you turn the unit on is normal, but the hum that you describe is not. I leave my 100.2 on all the time and it is quiet. | |
| Gallo Acoustics Reference Spks vs Full Range Box I have the Gallo Reference speakers and the only way anyone will get them from me is to pry them from my cold dead hands! These are absolutely FANTASTIC speakers. If you can find a used pair, grab them! As stated above, they are no longer in produ... | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? I agree with Dopogue, I own a pair of Gallo Nucleus Reference speakers and there is NO way I would part with them! These are the most realistic speakers that I have ever heard. I will admit that they do not have a conventional look to them as they... | |
| What happened to list prices? I believe that the "List Price" section is of great benefit and should be reinstated. It is especially helpful to newcomers, and most people know if it has been grossly distorted. Personally, when a greatly distorted "List Price" has been entered ... | |
| Modifying a Pioneer Elite PD-65...... I believe that Dan Wright of Modwright does mods to the Pioneer PD65. Check him out at modwright.com | |
