So I brought the OPPO BDP-105, and the Acurus RL-11 with me. The mid range problem was tested with multiple solutions. -The WOPL400 was swapped to the High End. No Change. -The Rotel was swapped with the the Acurus. Minimal Change. -The OPPO was ran direct bypassing the pre. No Change. -The...

He absolutley is Lee. I can’t thank him enough.

He called me a second time this week. Once again singing the praises of the WOPL400 on his bottom end. Still in dis-belief. He thought maybe he’s been blaming the wrong component the whole time. The Pre? We discussed swapping the WOPL400 to the high end to see if it clears up his mid-range...

“Ask Ed”?...

My father called me today out of the Blue. I thought he wanted to know when he was getting his pre. But in fact he was calling me to tell me how AMAZING and INCREDIBLE the white oak Phase Linear 400 sounded. I said “didn’t we test it and you said it was great”? And he said “Yeah but it was xmas...

mondial fan is working on an upgrade for my recently acquired Acurus RL-11. Soon this will replace my fathers Rotel Pre. Unfortunatly it’s a bit delayed thanks to the wonderful shipping and handling of OOPS....err.. I mean UPS. So he’s trying to fix their f-up. For which I am eternally grateful.

I guess this is a pool I can actually wade in. Like you, I also consider myself a novice. But I was told by everyone here “If you know which side of the soldering iron to hold; you can White Oak a Phase Linear”. I said “The shiny side right?” so the joke’s on them! But seriously; I would agree...

My father had a C1 in the system before it shot craps. Since then We have upgraded him to the Acurus RL-11. He's not using a turntable in the system. But one should note there is no Bass and Treble controls on the RL-11. One thing he sees as lacking...........

Yep! Quite the ordeal, but you know I only want the best for his situation. In fact; I just acquired the Acurus RL-11 the other night. So I'm going to have that upgraded and gone over once I get it per Lee's recommendation.

So THIS week I went back to my fathers to celebrate Christmas. Now that the folks have had their shots; they've allowed the family and all the little kids to come back around with no fear of croaking. So the holiday was pushed off to this Saturday. THIS time I came well-armed. I had my pre-amp...

I honestly try. Him working for nearly 55 years tryin to raise 4 kids, keep a marriage, a big house and sending kids to private schools wasn't easy. 70hr work weeks were the average and I'd say he doesn't remember at least 30yrs worth of it. "Just a blur" as he calls it. The man needs time to...

Damn. I threw the ones from MY build away? Had I known............

So I finally made it out to my fathers house. Haven’t seen him in six months. I replaced all the bulbs in his Carver M500t’s while I was there, and after dinner we went downstairs to test the WOPL400. First we listened to the existing PL400 with New WO bulk caps, everything else original. Then...

And he has. Looks like the love affair with Rotel has finally ended. It only took him seven years to figure it out.....

Very nice! I like it. And yep. running at half speed is the key word. I see those are INFINITY's. Same MFG of the speed controllers I posted. They make fans of all kinds for audio rack equipment and stereo furniture that has the fans on the ends, blowing air into the cabinets the audio gear is...

That's EXACTLY what the guy I talked to said too. No cheap crap. It would def be nice to have a source that supplied these in general. I am really surprised there isn't one to date, considering everyone and their brother can do woodworking. Over the last ten years I have received wood cases...

Yep. Lots of choices out there. The fan boxes you guys are talking about would personally do me no good. My amps are in their Phase Linear cases and that's how they fit into my racks so nicely. That way the glass they sit on doesn't get all scratched up. So I don't want another box sitting on...

Apparently he has? News to me? Glad he has heard my system and established a well though-out and valid opinion before placing his thoughts on my gear...... There is a very nice guy whom I have dealt with on ebay who restores and or makes the shrouds. You can buy the fan as a whole kit OR if you...

Guys; thank you. Honestly. I literally couldn't have done it without you. George, your pics were excellent, Lee your advice to my q's=perfect, and Joe. Bless Joe for answering my seemingly unending emails. Someone like me with OCD tendencies who REALLY wants to do a correct and thorough job...

Completely agree with this. I'd rather buy a new taper and replace it. It's the same point you made on replacing the Rectifier while you're in there. No sense in keeping 40yr old parts if you are replacing everything else. Or your customers would think you're "A cheese-weenie". I wouldn't buy an...
