Wish I had 450 Layin around to try it. Maybe after Ron gets his NAD he will let me try the sa3 for a week ! I will pay shipping of course.

The SA3 never leaves this house Jason LOL, I was foolish to let my original one go. I would let you use the NAD or Carver though

I just pulled the dbx, DSS-100 and Carver out of my system. Amazing what one component will replace LOL, now I have more stuff to pile on other stuff in the garage. Guy was just here looking at a Coleman campstove and he asked what equipment I had. He walked in the garage and said holy shit you have enough for how many stereos???? LMAO

I will call Perreaux or the authorized service agent next week.
That would be totally cool to get a schematic (and if they have a service manual). I really appreciate you doing this!

Totally having a blast with the WOPL today, really a fantastic matchup

Not a problem, it's toll free. :)

I tested my WOPL 500 amplifier for the first time the other day. I was very impressed with the performance. I had to be careful though because my speakers and crossovers will need to be modified to handle the full power that the WOPL 500 amplifier can deliver. It's a work in progress.

I hear you Brother, 300w CV's are not enough for mine but that's all I have until some D9's or AT15's come along, they sound awesome right up to the point where the WOPL trips the internal speaker protections LOL

I think I may get rid of the EQ also since it's bypassed and just there for the light show
Aw man.. keep the light show.. You got those blinky lights.. they go red.. then green.. and red.. and green (wow)... hey look over there man.. it's a pedestrian crossing.. it says "walk".. no wait... now it says "don't walk".. "don't walk"... "don't walk" heheh

LOL!!!!

I still have the Audio Source that I plan to use someday whenever I get it down to you to fix. I know your plate is full right now. I missed the eq so put it back in because the rack looks so empty. It's a Onkyo so the display is Marantz blue. The Audio Source will look much cooler but the Yammie is a nice unit also

You need to upgrade them cv xovers Ron. Mine can take a 400 but Jessica will eat them right up.
mine are 6ohm dx'7s 12"!

Got it in today Ron! Yeah, hmm.. well it sounds pretty daggone good, plus this one (or along the same lines) has been on the list for quite some time... Later I'll open 'er up and see what can be done on the recapping front - the preamp out needs to stay in cap-coupled mode in the interim, as I might have shot a lil DC through the 400. 400 might be walking wounded, we'll see...

Eyup, that'll be my preamp for a little bit until I get the next itch. Ron I just couldn't pull the trig on the SA-3, but this'll do..

Jer, that is a BEAUTIFUL classic preamp WOW!!!! Nice and clean and it's nice you know you can make it new whenever you feel like it!!!

I got the NAD 1020 today, it's a bit nicer then I expected the phono stage is really impressive so far

Yeah, I know I need to dust
