Bad experience with PurePower of Canada
Update: I took both my PurePower units to the dump. I just cannot in good conscience subject anyone else to the shenanigans perpetrated on such a regular basis by Richard and Damien. They lie, cheat and steal from their customers on every level. I...

WARNING about Purepower: If you just read in Audiogone the truth is very apparent and I do not need to go into it. Last year I had 2 of their units in for repairs and after many months of all the same type of BS, and getting nowhere, I finally rea...

Noise when turning on/off tube amp?

The noise comes from the speakers. 
Help. What phono preamp to buy?
Wow! Thanks for all the responses. This gives me plenty to research. In answer to a couple of suggestions: there is only one dealer in my area (rural Vermont). Also, before I started this thread, I read every thread in the analogue section that me...
