One of the latest...

[P.I.]

First of all I would like to thank everyone for all of the great comments and to Dave for jumping in and answering the questions that were posted.  I was busy most of the day tearing down my system.  I cleaned all of the connections on my gear and cabling.  I then applied Dave's graphene treatment.  I installed the new UberBuss and got everything back together. Dave had previously burnt this in for me, so after about four hours or so things really settled in.  Wow!! I knew the new receptacles were improved along with some other things but I really wasn't expecting to hear much improvement in SQ.  Hard to describe but once more, noise I didn't even notice before was gone. The sound just sort of explodes out of a very black background.  I would even say that dynamics are noticeably improved.  I would have liked to be able to evaluate the graphene treatment on it's own, but it was impractical considering the effort it takes to completely tear down the system.

 The walnut Burl finish wasn't part of our initial discussion on my requirements, but came up through conversing with Dave.  Neither of us realized how difficult that would turn out  Because of this the project took some extra time to complete, but in the end it exceeded my expectations Thanks again Dave for the herculean effort


BTW about 10 inches of snow here in Happy Valley.  Yikes!!

Thank you for the great review.  It truly was a labor of love (and a certain amount of consternation for the veneer) and it is my pleasure to serve great friends and customers like you.

I'm never just sitting on what I have done before because I overflow with "what if" and my curiosity will not be satisfied with 'good enough'.

The new Uber will still continue to improve for a few days.  Film bias and dielectric saturation relax during shipment.  I'll be happy to see where it is in a week or so.

ENJOY!

Nice indeed.

Thank you, sir.

I'll answer your email tonight.

I like this one.  So does my friend/client   

Just curious, as this is a combination of the Uber/Digi Buss, are there separate outlets for analog & digital components or does it really make a difference how it's all plugged into all-in-one UberBuss?

I don't know about you Dave,,, for someone who really needs to start taking it easy, here you are offering time consuming labor intensive wood paneling. You can't have it both ways ya'know,,, wanting to slow down while at the same time offering more,more more. hahahahahaha

Cheers,
Robin

Robin - the 2 receptacles closest to the IEC inlet are Digi, the rest are the latest vesrion of the Uber circuitry.

It is projects like these that I want to do from now on where  can do something that gives my intellectual and spiritual gratification ... not just grind out black boxes.

In addition I have plans for the future.
I also have on friend that has been absolutely the best when it comes to being understanding.  I HAVE to get his list taken care of and it is a helluva list.  He just keeps coming up with things for me to do and I have not been able to get to them.  He is also willing to pay for the custom aspect.  Makes a difference to a geezer on Medicare.

Funny, yuck, yuck, yuck...

I told Gayle this morning after a fitful night that I was thinking about doing a Hemingway-esque novel titled:  THE OLD MAN AND THE PEE.

I saw a palmetto once.   

I already take it, so... any other ideas besides a ream job?

Hmmm, has the doctor ever mentioned finasteride...aka Proscar? Otherwise, I’m out of suggestions....
My buddy had a ream job and regretted doing it as it didn’t really produce positive results. Told me he was peeing blood for quite a while.
