Austin Meet 7/10/21
I regret to say that a business meeting has come up that will prevent me from attending this afternoon. I had wanted to show off my new DAC prototype and revised Black AMP with a new "Slam" control that I have developed but responsibilities outweigh pleasures, next time I hope. Thank you for...- barryt

Austin Meet - Winter 2018
Well that is wonderful, but I hope not necessary. I have asked repeatedly for someone to step up and take the lead on this. Both my workload and the fact that this can be seen as a conflict of interest (I build and sell stuff) will not tolerate me talking this on, but if you are will willing...- barryt

New amp and phono preamp
Thanks for the response. It is not a tube preamp, The sound is very high resolution not flavoring with tube or solid-state sound. It is all about resolution, nothing else matters. Noise messes with resolution, distortion does too, sonic signature (tube or S-S) does too. LOMC? low output...- barryt
