All this to save $500?

Old post but I couldn't help but chip in. Perhaps OP should stick to reparing TV instead of audio stuffs. Comparing TV with audio stuffs is a very biased view. Are you saying Ralph sells more of his audio stuffs vs any brand of TV worldwide? 

The more I read this post, I feel like OP is just acting like a crying baby. Daddy can not buy you that candy and all you can do is rolling over the floor, smashing all your other toys.

I feel autospec offers a reasonable product, with his Dynaco 70 rebuilds, although, I would not buy one myself. As someone mentioned above, autospec is a big crybaby, as, if he does not get what he wants, he goes public with his bantering, and tries to bring somebody down, in the interim. Very unprofessional. Likely, he was a very spoiled child, and, still is. I am sorry for this post, but needed to say it. Enjoy ! MrD.

It could be, assuming autspecs competence and knowing Ralphs, that these 2 speak different technical dialects. I will say that sometimes Ralph wants to answer a question with a how and why response. Explaining and justifying his design choices to others which is very common among designers who are proud of their children, Most likely some breakdown in communication with a slight over reaction due to frustration on the part of autospec. 

I think at this point you might be being too hard on Will. I understand the frustration but ultimately he had us set up his preamp with the phono section and he seemed pleased with the results at the time. He posted as such over on AudioAsylum.com.  Even though the preamp is intended to be less expensive, we do pride ourselves on our work and IIRC Will made a point about mentioning that in his post.
