You said: Clarification regarding point 1 of the previous message: The ARC REF ll belonges to my brother. I had both units - actually all 3 units - ARC Phono for approximately 7 monthUmm, the first sale of V-Caps was made in June. It's now October. That's 1, 2, 3, 4.... 4 months ago. If your "brother" had V-Caps installed in his unit at least 7 months ago, then I would suggest he should be nominated for the Nobel prize, since he has made the breathtaking discovery of time travel.
Next you state: Yes, I probably could get you the V-CAP from their owners.
I thought this was just one person's pre that the V-caps came out of? Did multiple people own this pre? Now we have multiple sources of the V-Caps you used?
I can appreciate you like your Ansar caps. There are MANY fine caps in this world, but to disparage a cap that you've NEVER HEARD to call attention to one you like is rather underhanded, IMHO.
Follow Ups:
Actually, to answer once again your questions, there were a total of 3 units, the ARC REF ll, its Phono Stage, and a Dr. Arthur Loesch design pre-amp - thats three, no?? The parts (your stuff) was sourced not by me - I just put them in!! Maybe I was wrong in my 7 month estimate - so what! To flately state that I "never heard" your V-Cap is totally wrong, and therin lies its major shortcoming: One can hear the damn thing!! Furthermore, one can hear it not only at 10 hours, but at 50, at 100, at 200, at 400, at 600, etc. Will it ever form?? I suppose that with your product installed one has to "hope that it will sound good as it did yesterday", but may not tomorrow!! So much for consistancy. You may be able to "fool" these kids with your fancy advertisements, I personally like those "rave" testimonials, but you can't fool somebody with over 40 years of experience with these things. (No, I'm not talking about your V-Cap here, lest you accuse me of additional "time travel"), but of electronics in general!! When was the last time you actually tried to "solder"?? Maybe you never have - no? Ever done any 'prototyping' - don't know what that is - thought so. How about winding your own transformers?? Oh well - I guess it comes down to "anything for a buck" - no??
I await the return of the parts, or for you to provide the order number... I'm done playing your little game.
