Need recomended wire for amplifier mod.
Steve McCormack brilliantly used Shunyata Cohergenic to upgrade the internal wire on my DNA-1 amp this year. The upgrade made an already good amp (Rev. A) sound more relaxed and effortless without loosing any detail. I'm quite happy. I'd say if it... 
Acoustics - stonewool based panels
The thin layer shouldn't affect acoustics. IME only a thick, VERY tightly woven fabric would reflect enough sound to notice. Leave it on. 
Need B&K schematic
Sorry, nevermind, the M-200 was not included in that link I previously posted. Poking around the internet I found hifiengine has the schematics for the EX442 and a note saying the M-200 is the same as the EX-442 with only the left CH pre-driver lo...

Special artists never mentioned before on Agon
Here's one if u like Blues, try Ray Bailey "Bad Times, Sad Times" off his 1995 "Satan's Horn" album. 
Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC
To get the same transparency and gorgeous sound you could spend thousands on an expensive pre-amp or spend a few hundred for the Lightspeed. It all depends on how much you like to throw away your money. I personally like money and LOVE my Lightspeed. 
Preamp recommendations for under $600.00
+1 Lightspeed. Highly recommended if you have a single source. Add a Teradak power supply from A-B Systems and you'll still have money left over.

Yuppie? Are we back in the 1980's? Perhaps you meant hipsters? Young urban professionals no longer exist. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
The ac input plug is available from www. ab-system.hk~Tom in Sacramento 
Looking for "realistic" speakers
Magnepan and Cary pair up well. 
Magnepan 1.7 crossover capacitor improvement?
Jordi, I'm interested in doing the same to my 1.7. Wondering why you prefer an amp with lower power now that you've done the upgrade. What did you notice changed the most using the 50 watt amp? 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Drubin, I wouldn't use the Pardo;the 12V/2A will fry it. The LSA takes 1A max I beleive. I'm not an expert, maybe others with more knowledge will chime in here... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
AB Systems was off for the Chinese New Year which ended a few weeks ago I beleive. Just before that, on January 10, I ordered the TeraDak U9VA for use with my LSA. It arrived within a few days from China, kind of surprising how fast. Very happy.Th...

Thank you, Don. I rec'd your email yesterday and want you to know I'll contact you soon; hopefully today or Friday if I can get the time. In the meantime, I rec'd an e-mail from Steve McCormack who normally doesn't do repair work. However, because...

I also have an interest in joining a club in Sacramento. I've never belonged to such a club, so I don't know what kind of rites, hazings, or oaths are involved. Seriously, perhaps we could start one TonyKay. I'd especially be interested in having ...
