NAGATRON HV9100
Hi intactaudio,I hear ya, don't mind giving someone a deal, but don't want to give it away. If I can't get something decent out of it, Sooner or later, I'll mount it.... I remember at the time, it competed favorably to the NAK 1000, just too long ... 
NAGATRON HV9100

NAGATRON HV9100

Denon DP-59L skips at end of record

HYPEX,PASCAL OR ABLETEC
Sorry, 1 additional comment, they have very low input impedances, only a select few tubes preamps would work well with them. 
HYPEX,PASCAL OR ABLETEC
Hi Guys, Well since you guys have dipped your toe into the DIY versions, thought I'd chime in... I read forums world wide about the Abletec amps, after looking at my needs, total cost and forum input, I built an amp from the ALC0300-1300 modules a...
