Quote: Count me in for interested in attending a smaller meet.  I can bring some gear if it's closer...and the power related items that weigh 30lbs each to help out with that.  (ExactPower stuff)

Are these LG sold out, or held up to ascertain and fix this new problem?

Bumping for fresh looks and more nominations

Just a quick clarification question: does the Master series of amps run cooler than the Phoenix?  I would seriously look at replacing my Phoenix with a Master 8 if it runs cooler.   TY in advance.     Lord Bless, doug p.  

Thanks for all the posts and PMs, but I have made a decision and am closing off this offer.  Wish I had more to give away to the rest, but I don't atm.       Lord Bless and Merry Christmas,   doug p.

Count me as a definite maybe. Would be nice to see many of the old gang if I can make it out this time!  

If all goes well I will be attending.  Will bring my HD800 with a balanced Locus Design Group Hyperion cable if anyone wants to try it out.  Otherwise I'm coming just to socialize and check out some balanced amps for a new purchase....DNA Stratus and the likes.  

ok, I'm looking at the Audio-gd site and don't even see the Ref DAC 1 on there, much less where to buy the upgrade for it.  Can anyone post a link to this, or should I just email Kingwa about this?

FalconP, Thanks for the confirmation on the new Stax cans. It's good to know that Stax has redesigned their cans to make up for these little things. Very responsive IMHO. Mine have been sqeak free for 24 hours now and show no sign of letting up. And if they do, it is an easy fix to plop...

Count me on the team praying for him and his family during this time.

Well, after Les talked so highly about his IR thrmometer I finally bought one he recommended off of eBay. Nice little toy with lots of little uses. Here are my temp readings, and under what circumstance I got them: Open window behind rack, fan blowing on audio rack: 65F ambient, PSU and Amp...

Peete, Don't worry about anything else - just get better! We'll be prayin' and pulling for you out here.

Science has its limitations, and can't prove or disprove everything. Prove that love exists using science. We can see certain physiological and neurological reactions, but can't see, measure, or quantify love. Other disciplines take over when science hits a brick wall. Philosophy is one that...

Wow, thanks for taking the time to document your journey with us FallenAngel. I'd like to see what, if anything, needs to be done to my incoming Supra. If I can improve the sound at all, and add some extra safety at the same time, I'm all for it.

The width of the strip inside the earcup photo'd leaves one point unclear: do you roll/fold the t-shirt piece, or lay it flat? It appears to be folded somewhat in the photo, and I want to have a better idea before wasting time. Plus, after changing the battery in my car I need to spin down so I...

Didn't akg702 admit it was a photoshop job after he posted them? Somehow I doubt he would actually fry something with non-stick/butter spread all over the top of his amp. Les, For the record I wanted the panel with the holes for the top and bottom, not just for the top. This would allow...

With so many replacement cables coming out it's impossible to say what will be the best sounding in the next few weeks. So far the single ended Lawton Audio Adrenaline sounds the best in my system. That's only comparing them to the 4-pin XLR reterminated stock and APureSound V3 cable with...

Yes, this will work. Not sure if you mean that you'll power up and use all three amps at the same time though. But, if all you do is run another set of XLR connectors off of the existing wiring this should work without a hitch. Quote: Originally Posted by nigeljames Would the...
