Today's outage seems to be lasting a while.

You didn't get the memo?

Denied !!.... Again.

While we're here ..... Someone tell me which tube pre I should go with.
-remote is cool (the more functional the better)
-HT pass thru ( with unit off would be killer)
-phono included (not required but would be nice)
-balanced ins/outs desired but not a deal breaker
-speakers will be focus line source ls6's. -see avatar-
-analog sources are a music hall cd25.2 and mmf-5.1 TT. upgraded later as "needed"
-SS amps
-looking for that organic , listenable , and harmonically pleasing tube goodness
without losing detail and transparency.

Currently in the research phase, I've been looking at the likes of:
Bat Cary Dodd Modwright ARC Aesthetix Mcintosh VAC .
Price ~ 1500 - 3000 . Wide range ? Yes .

But I would be willing to spend a bit more if justified.
And would rather not take a trip on the audition/sell merry-go-round. Or at least minimize it.

Bonk

-- yes I know this is in the wrong forum, but there may be a "finders fee" if your suggestion pans out.
Could be something as nice as a mismatched pair of tube socks( slightly worn) or 8-track head cleaner .

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Bonk,
The Dodd Audio Battery Preamp does not have an internal phono stage. Gary does make an external phono preamp.

It would be interesting to hear the the Dodd against the Mod Wright and the AVA tube preamps.

When I try going to the website now, get a very strange error. Like the website is gone.

AV123 Forum is down.

Hi,

This is just a note to let all of you know that the AV123 Forum and e-mail system is down due to a technical problem at our hosting company.

Our phones are working, and we are happy to talk with you. You can reach us at 877-543-7500, or in Colorado at 303-543-7500.

We hope to be back to normal later today.

Thank you!

Thanks Hal. I'm sure I will be thrilled with whatever I decide on.
Would love to give the Modwright 36.5 a whirl, but a bit out of range right now.The MW 9.0se , dodd battery , and a few of the ARC's have caught my eye .
Eventually I'll just have to stop researching/reading and jump in.

Hey Bonk,

I had Gary Dodd build me out a couple of his battery powered tube pre-amps for use at RMAF. To make a long story short, the new amps didn't get finished in time so we took my personal system to use with the LS-9's in the big ball room.

I used one of the pre-amps in the system we set up at the Marriott. I then sold it to HAL after the show.

The other one is assembled all but the wood trim pieces. I could make you a really good deal on it and you could choose your own wood type if you want. Just let me know if you are interested.

Prior to this, it would just time out. Looks like Mark/AV123 might have been hacked (DDoS, etc) again.

Hey Danny,
I'll shoot you an email.

I don't know the exact issue but I know for sure that the main and backup servers both went offline.

BradJudy · « **Reply #117 on:** 21 Nov 2008, 02:07 pm »

Must be serious. Now there's a default Joomla page up for the main site.

toddbagwell · « **Reply #118 on:** 21 Nov 2008, 02:52 pm »

I'm not in IT, but i'd try plugging the server back in

There was a significant hardware failure of main and backup systems. I've got my domains back already and I'm uploading files now but AV123 will take longer as they had slightly more data
