| Ordered a Willsenton R300 evank Good for you. Shocking how inexpensively China can produce these amps. I don't see any shipping date for my unit yet. The other thing that swung my decision to buy the amp was that repairs are available domestically. | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 I bought it on Amazon for the oppty to return it if I don't fancy it. I think it can be sourced cheaper from China, but with more hassle, possibly. My tube guru Don Sachs has created a new 300b amp that he claims is significantly better than my Ko... | |
| DIY plans for audio diffusors SpatialKing, I have scoured the internet and found a plan for an easy-to-build diffusor from this site, but am unable to get the free download. I have 10 thumbs so I need something very simple to build. I did not check Pinterest, but will do so... | |

| Uptone Audio LPS-1.2 Failures I know Alex Crespi at Uptone Audio quite well and have his LPS 1.2 which works just fine. I have had connectivity problems with my Micro-Rendu device which actually Alex helped me sort out when I was at wit's end, in an extremely patient manner, ... | |
| Fritz Carrera BE vs. Harbeth 30.1 Excellent review, very informative. I have heard both Harbeths and Fritz' speakers at several audio shows and was never moved by the sound of the Harberth's and their prices for such a plebian design never made any sense. Fritz' speakers are eas... | |
| Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done This is a fun thread with no disputes emerging as they often do, sharing out our costly mistakes. Dekay, that is great question you are asking for a friend. Right after I fire up my soldering gun, which I rarely do because I have no such ski... | |
| Let’s share funny-stupid things we’ve done My cat jumped on my SOTA turntable and destroyed the Dynavector 20X10 stylus. I got an Ayre QB-9 a week later and sold my TT rig. I think my cat did me a round about favor... To Dadork, I wear as a pure badge of honor the fact that I have lost ... | |

| Excessive gain with a Belles preamp Mulveling, What a great bit of knowledge you have with such erudite comments! Thanks to all for your suggestions. I thought some resistors would sort it out, but perhaps not. My Sachs preamp has not such problems. | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Gents, I am picking up my Wells Audio first-gen Innamorata on Friday at Jeff Well's studio. I currently have the Wells Audio Majestic which was uniquely configured as a pure power amp and it absolutely betters my former McCormack SS amp in all r... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Barondla, I told Don that I would never again consider a tube amp that did not auto bias and he assured me that he sorted this out with the Kootenai and the LED meter on the Kootenai has been locked on solidly since I got the amp for all 4 power... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread Soren, The Kootenai amp is really outstanding, far better than the HK Citation II and V amps that Don earlier fully modified for me. Its 60-wpc drives a lot speakers just fine with remarkably solid base response, a warm liquid mid-range and exte... | |
| Don Sachs Owners Thread I had Don's first preamp and now his latest version, which is fantastic as well. I recently got the Linlai 6SN7's and they sound fine to my ears, as Don said they would. My current ss amp in the rack is dead quiet and I sense no noise generated ... |
