| Greenville, SC @ejr1953 I live near Asheville. There are a few audiophiles in this area, but no club that I'm aware of. We might be able to arrange some get-togethers. Over the years, most of us have visited each other for listening sessions. Drop me a line when... | |
| Aurender Backup Process Thanks very much. That's exactly I needed to know. The backup process is now underway. I'm much obliged. | |

| Amazon just killed Tidal Take this for what it is worth, as I am about as tech savvy as your run-of-the-mill orangutan. With that said, I have been a subscriber to TIDAL for a year or so, which I stream through my Aurender X100L server. In the past, I had Amazon, but move... | |
| Supratek Just an FYI--The Preamp Deal of the Century thread is back up. Many thanks to Tammy for her work in tracking it down and reactivating it. It's a great thread and it's nice to see it back again. | |
| A moderate priced dac What do you considered "moderately priced"? I've been mighty impressed with my Audio Mirror Tubadour MkIII, which goes for $1500 new, a bit more with some of the available upgrades. | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp As a recent owner of Don Sachs latest preamp--which fully loaded lands just at the top of your $2.5K price range--I can confirm that it is just tremendous. I think the Backert Labs and Supratek suggestions are also good. I couldn't be more pleased... | |
| Supratek Yeah, I was pretty skeptical, too. Then I actually tried one and my skepticism went away. | |
| Supratek Hi Tammy. I just sent you a note on this very subject. I believe the title of the thread was "Preamp Deal of the Century." I also believe that member "slowhand" was the originator.I hope that helps! | |
| Supratek Has anyone contacted Tammy regarding the removal of the thread? Maybe she'll restore it, or at least provide some explanation for why it was removed. As an early contributor to the thread and previous owner of a Supratek preamp--thanks in large pa... | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp @wig My Kootenay 120 arrived today. It has WE KT88 Plus with CV181s up front. I've had the preamp for a few weeks now. It has WE 6SN7s. It's nice to finally have both the preamp and the amp in my system.Early impressions are very favorable, to say... | |
| Phono Pre Advice Both the Herron VTPH-2 and the Allnic are excellent suggestions. I have owned both and consider them neck and neck. You should be able to find an Allnic H1201 or H1202 in your price range. I have the H1202, and it's very musical. Can't go wrong ei... | |

| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp @wig I will certainly do that. I had Don send the preamp with WE 6SN7s, and the amp with WE KT88s. I have been following these threads on Don's gear for some time and much appreciate your feedback, as well as that of other owners. Hopefully, I'l... |
