Looking for info on SP Revelation speakers
Depending on the version--from I to V in Roman numerals, They cost was between $15,000-$30,000. They are very dynamic and will scale volume as well as any speaker. Great soundstage info and beautiful vocals. Despite the detail, they don’t hurt the... 
New amps with SP Tech Revelations
In the 3rd to the last paragraph, that should read glue a felt strip to the top of the board. Last sentence in the post would be entirely accurate saying there is now much better clarity and details. The bass hasn’t been to the 10 day since the Re... 
New amps with SP Tech Revelations
Hey Ted,I now have a pair of Revelation MK-V's that I modded with the advice of Robert Maicks at Star Sound.  Made a very noticeable improvement in clarity and dynamics throughout the frequencies ranges.  I also have the Sistrum SP-101's under the... 
Snake oil??
I agree, the price is high, hence Rick dropped the price to $349--still high.  BUT...if it makes way bigger difference than most anything else at that price, which the TC did, it seems a better buy than many other things that we think are more imp... 
Snake oil??
@68pete,Like the TC, do you put the cables back in right away while still wet or should you let the 1260 dry first then reinstall? 
Snake oil??
Thanks 68pete and davkobza for the only posts that are worth something on this Forum for the NPS-1260.  Those that have not used the product should just keep their useless opinions to themselves.  The only points sane people want to read are from ... 
TRL DUDE preamp
Sorry Brian,I absolutely love the DUDE even its huge butt. Since the tube switch, it is just another notch or two above the performance I got to receive several years ago. The combo with the TDSS upgraded Nuforce Ref 9 monos is just perfect to my ... 
Sell Me Your Women, Your Children, Your Vintage Turntable...
@rooze,I bought a Lenco 78 about 6 years ago to do the Home Depot thread on Lenco Heaven.  After completing my first rebuild of all that Jean Nantais instructs you to do, My Lenco with the 10-layered 100 lb. plinth made of  3/4" birch plywood and ... 
Tube Pre-Amp for Class D amps
I agree Rx8man,I also have the DUDE and  Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE monos w/ TDSS level 3 upgrades.  I am not searching for either component anymore unless something craps out.  When I put NOS tubes from Andy's Vintage Tubes, the level of SQ that I now h... 
Building my 'first' system - Advice on Phono preamp please
When you are trying to fill a price point, it is very difficult to find a good sounding phono section. The best comparison I did early in 1988 was to get a chance to hear several components from different companies. I did the same with speakers ba... 
Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound.
About 1989, I was going to turn selling my baseball card collection into some very good speakers. Well, I only got $900 from a card dealer, but it was better than nothing. I went to Quintessence Audio In Naperville, IL and listened to one after an... 
Is D for Dry? Class D...
Class D=dry and lifeless?I don't think so.  You should get to hear a pair of Nuforce Ref 9 V3 SE mono amps with TDSS level 3 upgrades--primarily to the power supply.  These amps are potent, detailed, much more live, and with killer bass and I've h... 
My Last CD player
@jafant MW stands behind their products even if you didn't buy from them. No company serves the customer better than MW.   Dan is very concerned about how his brand is viewed and his service shows it.  Dan replaced a 9100 that was causing me an is... 
My Last CD player
@chilli42,There was just listed a Modwright Sony 5400 Signature Truth CD/SACD player with all the upgrades on usaudiomart.  Very reasonable price.  You will find NO better player on any of the websites.  I have this player and the sound is better ... 
My Last CD player
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Modwright players such as the MW Sony 5400 Signature Truth, MW Oppo 2005 or any MW Sony players such as the 9100 or 9000.  Anything Dan Wright has modded was already a good player--his mods just made it near stat...
