I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Drubin, I agree with you. I was approached to become a reviewer and ask why I would want to do that. Even though I told them I was somewhat toxic and would not review anything I didn't want to review, they still wanted me. One certainly gets a bet...

Tvad, your welcome, but why did you find this so curious? Certainly, you also are on such a quest. 
Tube Sources for Exemplar 3910?
Thanks, Brent. 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Tvad, I am equally curious why you would find my questions curious and do think my question is relevant. I have owned at least 30 line stages or preamps in 40 years involved in audio with probably three quarters of them tube units. I own probably ... 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Tvad, I am now a reviewer. I will soon be getting the Exemplar XP-2. Indeed, I have yet to hear anything close to the H-Cat, especially in its X8 form. I have had my Acapella LaCompanellas for some time now and always continue to look for better s... 
I ask again, has anyone heard the Tempo El.Preamp?
Tvad, I ask because I had high expectations of it, given the designer.You should know that I have no concern about some people's childish behavior. That is their problem. 
Tube Sources for Exemplar 3910?
I have many Amperex 7062s and think they were for the 3910 and 5910s when I had them. In the Tube Substitution Handbook, I looked up 6829 and found 12AV7s and 5965, which is noted as not working in all circuits, but this is not relevant in this ca... 
Review: Synergistic Research PowerCell 10 and the SE version AC filter
Laza, I have not tried any T3s but on my preamp, an H-Cat, I preferred the T2 to the Precision AC.There is a reason for the Precision AC being used on the PowerCell 10SE. It sounds better, I am told.

Tvad, yes, but what fun is that? 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Stltrains, I think you would find the Walker Talisman better. I did. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Ozzy, my thoughts entirely follow what you have said here, save that I had no experience with the PowerCell 10 Standard. My 10SE was good out of the box but much better the second day. Each of the SR power cords also showed a one or two day break ...

When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I think digital has come a very long way, but I really have no idea what "soul" in music means. Is it like pace, foot tapping, or realism?One of the ways that digital has come far is relatively error correction ripping to a hard drive and played b... 
Steam Cleaning - RCM or not?
Sabocat, this sounds pretty wet and messy. I am going to retry steam cleaning soon using the VPI 16.5 with the Walker vacuum tube. 
Synergistic Research QLS-Which power cord to use??
Ozzy, the power cord that comes with the QLS is only about a foot long. The IEC is at the end of an attached pc which is about one foot long also. Both are QTed. If you were just going to plug into the wall rather than into the PowerCell, I would ...
