| Who Tried Power Conditioners Over The Years and No Longer Use Them Today, Any Why? I'll give mine up when power company provides one for my house. I doubt they much care about quality of power delivered to my house. I suffered with 123-126 constant voltage delivery for years, finally had to build bucking transformer so my audio ... | |
| Audiophile virtues Anyone is capable of listening in more than one way. I can listen as audiophile and as music lover. I'm obsessive about my main system, since reaching most of my sound quality destination a couple years ago, listen purely in music lover mode. Lis... | |
| Is this a New Game being played now? One shouldn't make blanket statements about any country being home of scammers, they exist everywhere. I recently purchased relatively expensive item from Viet Nam, no scam. Axpert is correct, everyone was newbie without feedback at some point. I'... | |

| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Just came across post from Aric of Aric Audio. States he prefers the Miflex to ODAM in his amps and pre's. Just goes to show you're going to find all sorts of preferences in caps and most other boutique parts. I like the Miflex, Audyn True Copper ... | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Don't know if you're aware, but Humble homemade has reviews on most top line caps, will give you some idea of sound qualities. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top rated copper films, the Mundorf Evo might work if you didn't go with ... | |
| No Insurance with FEDEX as of 11/01 Ok, didn't see your clarification prior to my first post. Ok, whats new, we always pay for insurance above some value. can't recall prior value, if this is new maximum for no extra charge. | |

Took in trades and purchased used items from all over nation, just tons of used high end to pick from, also sold new.... | |

| GR Research Upgrades I've seen his crossover mods for Klipsch, look like he's on right track here, although I use better capacitors than he uses in my extreme modded Klipshcorns. I do think he'll work with customer and use parts they specify. | |
| Tube Amp, Preamp upgrades -- what did you do that improved your units? Well, there are external and external changes to consider. Much of above are good suggestions, I'd add ball bearing type footers, they always add air and spaciousness, however, may change timbre to some extent. But then timbre changes are concern ... |
