| Belles preamplifiers -- experiences at different levels? David Belles has made a lot of great gear over the years. I have a Belles 21A released in 2003. It's a wonderful sounding preamp. I've had it in storage for several years, but your post is encouraging me to bring it out and give it a listen. | |
| Question about loading with an SUT I have a DL-103R feeding into a Cinemag 3440 with switchable taps for 1:18 (150 ohm) or 1:36 (37.5 ohm). I use 1:18 and it sounds lovely. I also have a Rothwell MCL with 1:20 (100 ohm) and I honestly can't hear a difference between these two SUTs.... | |

| Good outlet for amplifiers Hi Peter, I use a pair of PS Audio PowerPort Classics. They have a fantastic grip on heavy power cords. I haven't worried about connections since I installed them in 2007. It looks like PS Audio stopped making them, but I see them for sale on HiFi... | |
| Sunfire Load Invariant Amp Filter Cap Replacements Mbrusso, what is motivating you to replace these capacitors? Is there a problem with the sound of the amp? How have you determined the capacitors are the culprit for that problem? | |
| Oppo Repairs?? I had a BDP-83 repaired a few years ago by the OT Services group. It cost $100 to fix the transport mechanism that would not open or close. The repair took less than a week and they paid for return shipping. I would definitely work them again. h... | |

| Belles 200 Power Amp maintenance David Belles is still in business and is relatively close to you. He should be able to give you some advice. I don’t know if he tests and repairs, but he should be able to recommend a technician. I suggest calling him. In my experience, his email ... | |
| Sunfire Amp joule meter The needle on the meter wasn’t designed to move during playback. It just indicates the amp is functioning. It’s a relatively useless thing. | |
| Antique Sound Labs I replied to your thread at Audio Asylum, but here it is again: I have a pair of ASL AQ-1008DT that look very similar to your Model 108. The amps I have sound very nice. Roger Modjeski worked on them just before he died and he was impressed with... | |

| Selling gear with TMR I recently bought from The Music Room and was impressed with their support when FedEx became a problem. I was totally impressed with their packaging. They went beyond anything I've ever seen. They use a liquid foam packaging process that completel... | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! Oran, thank you for the heads up! I had the iPhono3 for a minute last year. I know I didn't give it enough time in my system, but I felt like my tweaked Bottlehead Seduction gave me more of what I want. If the Zen Phono has a full-bodied 3 dimensi... | |
| Helping a kid out I have to echo what others are saying about these kits. There is something so satisfying and tangible about being involved with a build rather than just shopping for gear. You become intimately involved. I built a Bottlehead Seduction a number of ... |
