Hello, some months ago I ordered a tvc and a pair of speaker cables. After payment was done, the mail contact got a bit one sided. Can anybody give me a an address of Promitheus Audio, perhaps I can write a letter, or does anybody know how to get Nicholas motivated to answer, or perhaps send my tvc?Thanks, Packhifi

NM not worth it.
Hello Nicholas!Hope you are doing very well. I am wondering if we could please have an update on our balanced DAC (with Burson opamps and silver pulse transformer).I have sent you several PM's here, and some emails too, but have not heard from you since last June 2008.Here is a summary of your previous emails:April 2008: Unit ready to send, offered to install Bursons.May 2008: New Bursons arrived, you were sending unit to us on May 4, 2008. June 4 2008: New DAC boards arrived, so you were sending unit to us on June 11, 2008.That June 4, 2008 email was the last communication we received from you. It has been a very long time now, so we are just getting a little worried.Please advise?Thank you very much, and our best regards to you!Thomas
I ordered a standard Ref4 TVC on 4th March. In what limited contact I have had with Nicholas he has responded promtly and with pertinent information. Didn't seem to be the same guy who was almost uncontable that some people found a while ago.I decided not to visit these forums and the website as this would just frustrate me on my long wait for the TVC to arrive. I also chose a standard product as I thought this might save a couple of months wait too.Well, it arrived this morning having been delayed in post in the UK for a week while they tried to find a non existent address. Wrong house number. A minor glitch on Promethius' part.It really does look to me that Nicholas has resolved many of the issues of last year. 23 days from order to delivery including a UK delay is really impressive.I am amazed at how quickly it arrived and 2 or 3 hours into using am so far impressed with the sound.It has all the detail and more of my 50K ohm passive pot (Creek), all the dynamics and more of my Exposure 19 active pre amp.The XLRs dont seem to lock well but the contact is firm enough. The volume pots have a very positive feel and I've no problems with high levels on lowest volume settings using unbalanced inputs and balanced outputs. The finish seems good. There are a couple of tiny tool marks on the woodwork but these need to be looked for to spot and add to the hand made feel rather than detract from the finish. I've not had the lid off to look at internal construction yet.I'm a little confused by an invoice for USD300 when I paid the website price of USD680. Has this happened to anybody else?Using withSilent PC --> Beresford TC7510 DAC --> Promethius Ref4 TVC Pre --> MC Audio MC1250 Power --> Acoustic Energy AE1 Mk2 SpkrsAlsoVelodyne SMS1 sub EQ and 2 Acoustic Energy AE308 subwoofers.All in all I'm really happy so far. Now to get some decent fast neutral subs and a better DAC and I'll have reached a musical Nirvana. This pre has brought me a fair deal closer. Lee
Hi again!I received a nice PM reply from Nicholas, saying that my DAC is now ready and had even received some changes and upgrades too. [Nicholas had PM'd me about this last September as well, which I had forgotten to mention in the record below.]Thanks Nicholas! We are really happy that the DAC is ready, and will be looking for it with much excitement. Could you please PM with the shipper name and tracking number, when it is sent? I would also like to post back here with our feedback about the DAC, after giving it some nice listening time, if anybody wants me to.Best regards to you!ThomasQuote from: MathGuy on 3 Feb 2009, 06:07 amHello Nicholas!Hope you are doing very well.
