how short sighted of me

I'm glad you are enjoying it. I really preferred 100R when I was running the DL-103D (IMHO the ultimate of the series). Did you have a chance to try the couple different opamps? I had a circuit drawn up to use the National opamp, but just never had a chance to do anything with it. It was basically a Bugle that was designed from the start to handle LOMC. Maybe one day I'll revisit it

I'm happy waiting (even without communication), but is there some sort of cut-off point for trying to pursue a refund via PayPal?

step-down transformer? cannot be too much, as their replacement part list price is reasonable. Go to the German version of the website then look for the price list for replacement parts.

I don't think it's too overkill.. Just lower the bias and your good to go. Holy slew rate though!

Spritzer: What about giving one of these amplifiers a go for the SR-007: -innoxx audio- High voltage tube amplifier for esl (electrostatic loudspeakers)

please use the subsonic filter. It's there for the safety of your system.

yup, I have some of that on hand I think this is what AMB uses for his internal wiring, but I could be wrong.

perhaps for the input, the Cardas shielded wire would be a good option. I'm thinking about trying those for myself. Also, all the rest of the devices have been matched and will be mailed this week. Thanks for your patience (except DigiPete).

holy Doppler effect batman!

I dunno if I'd call that an idler..the motor shaft is coupled to the "pulley"..

well, everything is an option for DIY, right? =)

great pun

dunno... he's MIA (Mikhail in Action) at the moment... remote would be possible, I'll have one

hm.. still waiting...

yeah, go with the tape drive. I really like the way the silk is working for me (plus, the Nottingham won't work with tape), but I think in theory the tape is better. It would be interesting to see if you could do some sort of direct drive like that new VPI monstrosity...

It's not the cryo that is the benefit here, it's the unplated contacts IMHO.

check out the Porter Ports on Audiogon.

reminds me of some crap I've seen on Lamm products as well.

sorry, due to inflation in the last 2 years, the budget is now $2000.

ya mean sandal-case?

I wonder if said prototype could make it down to Houston on Oct. 25th?

argh.. i just ordered them today fail on my part. Thanks though for thinking of me

nah, VTA (okay, okay, SRA really.. but VTA for those "magnetic" personalities) and VTF are a purists EQ =)
