| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? maybe it is a different devil boy. the guy i'm thinking of does have a system up called 'the gift and the curse.'I corresponded with him on his system thread. I don't know his real name.good luck. hope that helps. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think he has a system on here, why don't you post to his system thread and ask him to email you, or vice-versa? The lack of private messaging here is a PITA. | |
| I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC FWIW, (and it may be nothing), I had a similar problem when i recently bought an HP 'wireless' printer/scanner to work with my new Apple stuff. Although the advertising makes it seem like it's plug and play, the manual is sorely out of date and th... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I have been rolling rectifier tubes in my Allnic H 3000 phono power supply- the standard chinese tube didn't sound bad, but the unit wasn't really broken in much; an old Tung-Sol sounded very good; I still have to try the RCA NOS and am currently ... | |
| Diana Krall Survey She is a class act. Her work seems to focus largely on 'standards' and she does these well. Check out the Live in Paris recording or DVD. I have seen her perform in a relatively small room (under 2000 people), and even with a hand injury, she can ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? "High-end" has become a euphemism for expensive but I do not necessarily associate that with musically satisfying. I have heard many over the top combinations of equipment that provide an exaggerated, 'hyped up' version of reality that are neither... | |
| Ultimate Cables no more? I had an experience decades ago that may help you. I pre-paid for a restored and updated Marantz 7 tube preamp. At first, communications were normal- things were progressing. (This was in the days before the Internet). Finally, it became apparent ... | |
| why do we argue? So, the moral of the story is even crazy people can be right occasionally? | |
| Can anyone recommend a ARC repair service in NYC a As Raquel mentioned, Peter is in Peekskill not far from Westchester and he is good. He is Soundsmith, who makes some very esoteric cartridges as well as handling repairs on all kinds of exotica. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Yep, it's all in the packing. My Allnic arrived from Korea, well packed and no problems, sooner than a microwave oven we ordered at the same time through Amazon. The microwave box was bashed, and the oven was bashed. It wasn't in a shipping packag... | |
| Equipment Protection, Monitoring Electricity I am not contradicting Elizabeth's advice, which may be right, but if you were really concerned about it, you'd have to hire an electrican and i would think you'd want somebody with experience with commercial ap't buildings- depending on the size ... | |
| Equipment Protection, Monitoring Electricity I'm no electrician, and there are some very knowledgeable people on here who can really explain it, but let me understand the facts: a transformer of the utility company blew? And that is what you think fried your amp? Very possible. I think that'... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? FWIW, i used the original Well-Tempered for years, with a few tweaks, there was a 'well-damped clamp' or somesuch, a massive brass clamp that surrounded the fluid cup below the arm (not a mfr.-issued upgrade). I think I may have upgraded the motor... | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage One of the reasons why I usually use Fedex, rather than UPS. The US mail is close to the worst, I ordered a sealed copy of Janis Ian's 'Between the Lines' circa 1975 from a third party vendor. My wife found it left tucked against the mailbox on th... |
