| Preamp Deal of the Century I got the "2-3 weeks" email on the 6th. I am also feeling close-just ordered a new rack and a fancy-pants IC for its impending arrival. Now I'm looking for a PS Audio regenerator for it. Next I'm hanging balloons and putting up a "Welcome Syrah" b... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Another week gone by and no word from Mick. No word from Fiddler. Patience, patience.I did see a guy over at AA just received his Cortese. I suppose that's a bit encouraging. | |
| Dedicated AC Line or Upgrade Equipment? My electric box is all used up. The electrician said I would need an entire new box/electric upgrade for about $1700 or he could run a sub-box for about $650. Either way, it's not going to be an inexpensive tweak. He would run the sub off a 50 amp... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I check this thread almost everyday to see if Fiddler got his yet since ordered about 5 weeks before I did. The fact that he has not disturbs me. On 6/5 I received a email response from Mick saying it would be another 2 or 3 weeks which would put ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Fiddler,If you ordered in the middle of February, you are now at about 15 weeks. Could you let us know when you receive it? I'm getting nervous and itchy about it.Thanks,Patrick | |
| Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada . Aren't digital amps and TacT's 2 different things with different uses? Why summilarily dismiss all digital amps because you don't care for what a TACT does? Because they are both digital? Contempt prior to investigation is generally not the best a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Well that's good news. My deposit was 3 days before Jewels-March 26th-and 5 or 6 weeks from May 4th puts it in the 10 to 11 week range for total wait. That's what Mick told me when I ordered. I was afraid the wait might get ridiculous. It does see... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Pharmacist and 43. Up to about 17K retail but I just started last August. If I buy a new house because I want a dedicated listning room, do I count that in the cost? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I wish everyone here lived in my home town and I could visit each one of you, listen to your set-ups, then decide. I haven't heard most of the speakers mentioned. I am pretty new. So for now, the best is what I have...Spectron MKII amp driving Von... | |

| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks for the response Bwhite. I am fairly new in this forum and easily confused despite having read about a million posts."If the signal is truly balanced, the Supratek cannot handle it..." Are you saying my cdp won't connect in the good old fas... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Question. What is your opinion on asking Mick to make the CD in an XLR configuration instead of RCA's? Would it make any sonic difference? Would it be more trouble than it is worth? Am I just being rockheaded again?Patrick | |
| Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners. I was wondering when these people would start with audio. I used to check plasma tv prices on U-Bid. There used to be tons of sellers of similar description selling 10K plasmas for 3-5K. Same payment options. Alot from Spain but even more from Rom... | |

| Deciding on the right huge speaker Audiokinesis--That was the best advice I ever read on how to evaluate speakers. Too bad I read it after I just bought new speakers. Even though my Von Schweikert gen III's only have about 50 hours on them, I'm going to do those things as soon as I... |
