Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio.

>but the way to check membership is to click on your monicker<

No that's the wrong way to do it. Go to "my page" and do a member search. Enter the member's username/moniker (not monicker) or email address for his/her information. You'll note in Whimby's case the membership began in April 2005.

Thank you

Audiofeil, click on my username and you get a wealth of information. You can see I have been posting since 2002. I have 329 posts yada yada. I clicked on yours and got similar. Audiogon got ours right, it seems.

Whimby, I did not start this thread. I do have a system thread, like a lot of other people. The amps and preamp I am using is better than anything I have used in the past.

I have used Pass Labs MOSFET gear and it is good. To all witnesses here, the Fire is demonstrably better. The builder of the Fire is an expert at bringing out the best in audio circuitry. As Sogood51 points out, your experience simply does not jive with ours.

I got an email from another party that tried the Fire."A friend of mine and I auditioned the Fire (for several hours only) and were blown away at the detail.

I know me repeating that quote mounts to hearsay. Take it as you like. The point is, you can't hear fine detail if it is veiled.

Muralman,
Yes you do get a wealth of information including "posting since" but it does NOT provide the original membership date which is the issue here.

That's what you're not understanding when Whimby challenged you with "just joined? check your dates......"

Thank you.

Whimby, help me out. There are exactly two Fire preamps in existence. I have
been told there are more on the way soon. I have one of the two on loan.
Other than the builder, I am the only one to have heard this particular
preamp. There is one other loaner. It has traveled to only a select few trusted
listeners known by the builder, one being Sogood51. They have all checked in
with predictable glowing reports. How did you come by that one preamp?
