Wow, this brings a few responses. Let me do them in order.
Mr. Porter, does the Stev L. you mentioned still work for Krell?
It seems one of their email addresses have disappeared. Steven's partner for example.
(forgive if I've got the wrong guy)
Secondly, I whole heartedly agree with all that has been said about Bob Backert.
He's worked on my, Moscode, Tube Buffer, McIntosh tube tuner, and big Mackie amp when I had them. He's worked on my Spectral "90", Gratto cartridge, and is a really kind and informative guy. I can give the blanket statement, anything i ever sent to him came back improved. (many other pieces not mentioned, all improved)
)installs my wiring in some of his premium upgrades, and some of his customers then go onto purchase my cables.
But, quest for Sound recommends him, and so does Paul at The Cable Company.
When I spoke to him today, he was actually looking at the back of a B.A.T. amp. I think it is great that Bob is finally getting recognized.
He worked the repair dept. of the final phase of Danby Radio in Ardmore after Steve Sank left. The web will reinforce us who think that is an upgrade in itself.
As far as living and breathing sound gear, that statement might make his power boat jealous when good weather comes.
Cheers.
Hi, Couple of things.
I do believe that silver plated wire can sound abrasive or at least tipped up in many situations. Bob and I (providing the wire he uses) believe that the gold plated silver metals tame the silver and allow the detail and speed of the silver with the warmth of the gold.
As for the quatros, changing the binding posts, input jacks, fuses, or (most expensive) internal wiring would be a sure bet to make a difference. Lastly, on p/s caps, I agree, and have had good results with the "day off evening (for listening) on" cycling. So it seems that the "rise and fall" theory has practical fruit.
I can't wait to hear these caps, as I was a M.I.T. or Multi-Cap user previous.
Best Regards
So how is it going? I could have sworn I wrote to answer by suggesting
even the upgrade to the HiFi Tuning fuses at $30 (now they seem to be $40). But my response isn't here. ? :S
I talked to Bob, and I'm sure you have since. So how did it go?
