    This passive sounds amazing

    I am once again heading back to passives. I am not sure why they sound better with many of my amps but to me they do. I have had some pretty nice preamps. Some of them I still own. Quicksilver, Conrad Johnson, McCormack, VTL, GAS just to name a few. I have been doing most of my listening lately...

    Passive pre with tube amps

    I have been running a rebuilt pair of Golden Tube Audio SE 40 in mono. I am going back and forth between a quicksilver tube line stage and a PS audio Superphon 100 passive preamp. There are things I really like with the passive. The vocals and mids are unreal. I think I might loose a little bit...

    Rustnrot is the Best!

    I purchased a dac from him. It arrived fast and was like new. It was still in original box like it had never been used. It even had the small screen protector tape on it. He is one great guy to buy from. I would never hesitate to do business with him. I just wanted to say thankyou. Ken

    Superphon SP-100

    I picked this up on the local market place. I have to say I had not heard of it before. I did a little research and it had some good feedback. It is a passive preamp with power. I was not familiar with Stan Warren but I have to say it sounds really great. I am playing it with a pair of...

    I picked these up for 80 bucks. They are Amrita speakers. I was told they were made by a company in Iowa. I am really amazed at the build quality.

    F B night is one of a kind.

    I had put an ad that I am looking for a original tweeter for a set of Thiel CS 3.5. I did not expect to have much luck. Well I thought if I did get an answer it would cost me more than I would want to spend to fix the speaker. Then Piper got in touch with me and he had just what I needed. He had...

    Infinity Speakers

    I was looking at some infinity kappa speakers. They still have the polydome mids and they are working. They have some yellowing to them. My question is if you replace the original polydome speakers with the cloth covered ones does it change the sound. I was just wondering if anyone knew the...

    Question on MC cartridge

    I am using a GAS Thaedra Preamp. I am running a ZU/DL-103R MK.II cart. It is moving coil. It seems when I use the MC head amp phono on the pre there is way to much gain. I can only get like two clicks on volume then it starts getting too loud. I then ran it on the MM and it sounds just right. My...

    I have had two rebuilt Sons of Ampzilla amps. I really like the way they sound. I just got a Thaedra Preamp that my friend totally went through and rebuilt it.

    GAS Son OF Ampzilla

    I just got another one of these today. I have a buddy that used to rebuild these amps. He would take them down to the case and rebuild the entire thing. I have to say I got one from him and noticed I would be listening to it more than the tube amps. I am a tube guy for the most part but this amp...

    I sold him a B@K amp. He was very nice to deal with and is a stand up guy. I would never hesitate to do business with him. He is the kind of person that makes this a great place to buy and sell equipment.
