Just put Vcaps in my pre! WOW!
« on: December 24, 2009, 04:33:23 PM »
Xmas came a day early for me. My pre upgraded with Vcaps was on my front door!

Wow! Is all I can say, totally new unsettled caps sound amazing, great tone, super open, and tremendous detail, all the air one could need and micro details I never knew existed, it really is a new way at looking at music. So refined! 
Thanks Santa!!

Merry Xmas Happy Hanukah, Festivas to all!!

I broke the tubes in Johnny's headamp;
Somebody snitched on me.
I hid an interconnect in sister's bed;
Somebody snitched on me.
I spilled some beer on Daddys amp;
I pushed in a dome tweeter;
Put some gum on Mikey's turntable;
Somebody snitched on me.

Oh, I'm gettin' Teflon's for Christmas
Mommy and Daddy don't know.
I'm getting Teflon's for Christmas
'Cause I've got plenty of dough.

The V-Cap Teflons will do a Jekyll and Hyde on you for a few hundred hours.  When they settle though, WOW is the right word.

I thought he had an all Bryston system powering some bubinga'd HT3's.... :-P


Seriously, though, I remember it being some serious eyecandy, forget the mfgr.  Be sure to include a fancy picture and include a review when you log some hrs on it.

Ha!!

I see I have a reputation to live up to!

I will try my best! Maybe I should become a beta tester :rofl:
Day one was amazing. Day 2 started out great but got less great as the day wore on.
Is this what some call the "rollercoaster"?  It sucks to be on the rollercoaster. :x
Never know what to believe...shakes your faith..then you believe again.
Someone told me I should document what I hear! and the changes that occur.

Hopefully all will be straightened out by my March rave. I promise not to make anymore changes, and not to piss any more people(companies) off :rofl:
I did my duty  and am damn proud of it. Now to move on to something else.
How about we get some of you AN guys up to a rave?

I have room at my house.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah , to all

I really want to come up, getting antsy too long down south. I promised my friend in Manhattan I would visit her in spring, she said she would hold me to it, so I gotta start planning. What day is your meet Mike?  There is an audio show in FL in March 5-7 but it's looking thin so far.

Rich,

I know there are a number of AudioSyndrome guys that would like to meet you after all of the online chats we have been having. If your trip ends up not syncing with the Rave let me know. Even if we don't have one of our regular meetings scheduled while your in town we we could always whip up an informal G2G for a visiting dignitary. :beer:

  Mike hold on to your balls cause for 1000 hrs  you ganna go up and down and all around. Those caps truly take that long as personally experienced. When done WOW is certainly is the word. just the solder takes about 30 hours.
