| Acurus - What happened and why? long The mods list for each piece would take volumes to explain in these pages. But see my post above for basics. At some point I will attempt to map out the upgrade process. | |
| Acurus - What happened and why? long The mods to the A series amplifiers include upgraded PS caps, rectification, and replacement of a number of caps, resistors and diodes on the boards. At least Acurus did a decent job with the power supply section, otherwise it might not be worthwh... | |
| The strangest looking gear you've ever seen?? VAC does fit the strange bill. But how about the Wavestream V-8? I hope it sounds good, but it's downright ugly. | |
| The strangest looking gear you've ever seen?? That's a strong nominee :) And gold finishes do indeed move more equipment in Asia.As much as I love Sonic Frontiers equipment, I even questioned their choice of offering a gold finish as an option. But some people just plain dig it. Not me, my Li... | |
| What are the most under-appreciated products? Now this is getting interesting. ASR, Sehring, Scientific Audio Research Lab. Those stumped me! | |

| All Sonic Frontiers System - Bad Idea?? Thanks all. It would seem that I'm on the right track. I'm not at all concerned about reliability - I've owned SF preamps for 5 years with no issues whatsoever. | |

| Used tube pre-amp around $1,000 What about the Sonic Frontiers Line 1? It is superbly constructed, not overly euphonic, and is one of the most feature laden tube preamps ever built, with the best remote on the planet. | |

| Need help from Audio Alchemy DDE 3.0 Owners Thanks Dave! Am I correct to assume that position 1 is the rear pair? |
