| Are you having problems with Upscale Audio? Trying to purchase a simple drive belt for my Michell Table. It’s really just a big ’O’ Ring Indeed. And you can buy most any belt under the sun from places like Grainger, Zoro, etc. All belts have a standardized code number. You just need to ... | |
| Are you having problems with Upscale Audio? “… boring classic rock that sounds like crap like Doors and Zeppelin albums..." When will those born yesterday understand that “boring classic rock” made whatever they listen to today possible? Well I wasn't born yesterday but I agree that cla... | |
| Are you having problems with Upscale Audio? Not having a standard policy as to what to say when answering the phone, such as “this is so and so, I can help you” says something about management. That they don't waste their time on worthless frippery? Apparently this Upscale Audio is a bu... | |

| HiFi Kit Building- have you ever built any hifi gear? Dire warnings about the risks and safety of diy or vintage electronics, and the immense liability therefor, are as sure to appear in discussion as the sun is to rise in the East. That said, it would be interesting to hear an informed opinion on t... | |
| HiFi Kit Building- have you ever built any hifi gear? +1 on diyaudio. Nelson Pass (the master himself) is active there and he contributed many designs. You can literally buy a kit Class A amplifier designed by Nelson Pass for a low to mid 3 figure amount in the diyaudio store, and you’ll even learn ... | |

| Siltech says TMR sold me a fake cable but I want to believe TMR If they think it’s fake, they will confiscate the currency and give you nothing. Better off spending it on high-end cables! | |
