| The "how many reviews it got" rule So refreshing to see the group at least has some members aware of the audio racket. re: media, mfg and brick and mortar dealers. The trifecta of how to control a market. Keep people in the dark, or confuse them with crafted special terms for every... | |
| Kinki on a Sunday - let us see..... I also have NAT monos, but mine are PP for 125W of pure Class A 805 tube goodness although PP. Theres no other way to keep things differential through my rig than PP if the amp is using SE tubes. I did finally try Jeff Rowland SS monos which alter... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" I just got off the phone with Pete and as stated above it was in fact a 3930. We never actually carried through with 3930 because Petes order taught us that Denon had gone to a chip architecture in that section making the full mod impossible. This... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" I found an old email where I tell Alex to ship this guy a brand new unopened unit and what I would do on the rest. It was in the hands of the best in the country and if Alex could not do the mod it means it was impossible on the new model. We agre... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Look here everyone, Lets give credit where credit is due. Glory, what DAC retails fr $3K that is even close to the engineering inside the Comet plus its very Analog presentation ? You are comparing it to a $10K DAC for Petes sake.Which by the way ... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" @68 Pete, the story keeps changing. If I got Alex to work on this for you I performed a miracle on your behalf. If he could not do it, nobody could. If mods could not be done, what was there to fix ? Clearly it worked for a year, and if that was w... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" Hi David, I can probably explain better. First off we offer the cable upgrades. Then as far as the MPC, we took out the single filter cap and replaced it with dual FC type, and that was the first test and it clearly worked. Next step is replacing ... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" Well its clear someone does not understand communication. Did I say contact me direct for resolution ? Yep, pretty sure its above. So we can assume any communication 10 years ago was not clearly listened to or understood. After reading the reply p... | |
| Verastarr's Mike Powell upgrading SR "Stuff" First off anyone mentioning HRAM must be from long ago. The other thing is if somehow anybody feels slighted by us in any way and it was or is not rectified, its not because we refused to make it good. Because we have never done that once. Every m... | |
| Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions Most amps we buy back are in the $4K range. We sold them for $6500, as we are the manufacturer. We do not retail. My guess is nobody paid $12K even though it was the retail price. Same thing that's done with most every brand. Evidently you did not... | |
| Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions Hi Joe, I couldn't keep these amps in hand if I tried. I have a waiting list of people ready to buy used SSA amps. Lets just say nobody buys these for resale value. Chances are if you can find one used, you will be paying under $5K which is an ama... | |

| Verastarr amplifiers? Anyone ? Owners or Opinions Hi Joe, Zephyr by far gives the best advice. One phone call and I could give you a history of that Amp along with our company history, which, by the way, does not include a "money laundering scheme" LOL. Sorry to disappoint the dramatic fantasy.Th... | |
| Review: Verastarr Audio Grand Illusion Power cord We happened to have the Combak Studio Master cord in recently to compare and we found the difference to be clearly audible in the spatial information.. In other words, the Grand Illusion beat it out with a larger, wider, deeper soundstage... simpl... | |
