All Quiet on the Oppo front?
Yeah, I was surprised too, as I had emailed Oppo like a month before to ask if I could still get on the list. They responded and said i was too late.Then weeks after in a conversation on Audio Asylum,  a inmate posted a link to register. I tried i...

Gallo Ref 3.1 or PMC GB1/FR1
Go with the PMC FB1+, you will love them. I bought a pair back in June and they are everything that review says.I also heard the Gallos at a friends house a few months before I got the PMCs, and I was not impresssed.The FB1+ are just so smooth, cl... 
Am I going crazy or?
Nsgarch, I agree 100%, the item dosen't sit there because the price is too high, it sits there because someone who really wants it hasn't seen it yet. 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
Speedy,Check thier website,http://www.brickwall.com/I think the Brick Wall is what PS Audio tried to copy when they did the UO.I also had a 20amp UO before I found Brick Wall, and every time I would try to pin PSA down on the surge capabilities of... 
Anyone else regenerating A/C?
Speedy,The Exactpower is a superior product to the PS Audio, and as you say, PS Audio does seem to be all about mass produced profits. You can tell by how they push out new stuff everyday.I have two EP15As, one in my HT system thats allways on, an...

I think you are a little late to the party. 
Looking for a 5 channel amp that is warm sounding

Preamp Deal of the Century
IKKyu2,I found the source of my image drift to the right. I took out the NOS RCAs I have been using, and poped in the stock EH 6sn7s, and imediately everything lined up again.Dead center, I guess one of the RCAs are a little weeker than the other.... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
IKKyu2, I have noticed the same image problem you mention with my Chardonnay. There do seem to be an emphasis to the right, but the funny thing is that I do not notice it when playing my tuner, just cd. I checked my speaker position, but that was ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I finaly took a look under the hood of my Chardonnay.I decided to change the feet for some Bright Star Isonodes, so first I open up the power supply, did some damping and Deoxit spray the power switch, made it feel much better, not as dry and chea...

Grounding Hum!! Never had it, never heard it.If you had it or heard it, something wasn't right in your system. 
Audioquest King Cobra or Similar Cables
TplavasHow am I cable denier, I never said cables don't make a difference. Belden is a cable also in case you don't know.Why don't you give it a try, if you have less than four thumbs. 
Preamp Deal of the Century
