Welcome Lou, I like your slide guitar avatar.

Hello and welcome! Nice system!

Thanks for saying Hi!

thanks all. i'm really pleased with my system - took a long time to get there and it looks a bit motley, but really sounds great.

the slide guitar avatar is from a guitarist in Tucson, AZ named Bob Log. he used to play shows wearing a motorcycle helmet with a mic inside.

sadly there is no cure for audio nervosa. sufferers may have periods of remission, sometimes lasting years, but eventually relapse. however, during periods of remission, the AN sufferer usually substitutes another expensive endeavor usually: cars, boats, wine, watches, photography, and computers.

about the Juicy Music Preamp.. its a freaking giant killer!!! i dont care for its aesthetics but it sure sings and has bested several preamps up to 3X its price. i havent heard the pCats or merlin.

thanks for the warm welcome.

I see we have the same taste in cd playback. Same disease maybe?

Welcome.

Welcome Lou! Nice to have you onboard!

I met Mark Dineen (sp?) and his wife at RMAF last year. They were so warm and friendly and he knowledgable, I wanted to hang around in there with them all day. He walked me through the preamp circuit step by step and was never impatient or trying to move on to other prospects. His preamp got a nice review in Stereophile last year. I liked the transformer splitter he uses on the amp instead of a tube. He is very innovative!!

Hey Lou - very cool system!

It's hard to make any of Richard Shaninian's creations sound truly bad, but the components you've surrounded it with seem like they'd only enhance their virtues.

It cost me $300 to find out Lou is really "Tyler"!   Biglou is his dog.
