Voltz is the best!

in The Clubhouse
I sold my Dared SL-2000a to @voltz towards the end of last year because I just wasn't finding the time to utilize it.

I quickly realized my mistake. So when voltz made a random comment in a random thread a few weeks ago I shot him a PM.

Long story short, he offered to sell it back for less than he bought it for AND include shipping AND include two extra pairs of tubes!

I was/am very impressed and thankful. What a great guy!

He literally shipped it out next day great packing(even used a bunch of new microfiber cloths so another bonus), and before I know it...my baby has returned home.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Glad to help Paul! I appreciate you letting me use it and I enjoyed that great preamp. but I knew you were missing it and it was just time to send it back home. Some times we sell something and deep down we know we will regret it, I wasn't going to let that happen to you.... just one Polkie looking after another.

    That is a nice setup there my friend! Enjoy your tunes!

    Paul, what a nice thing to say about Voltz. He's always been super helpful around here. Daryl is certainly someone I look forward to meeting someday along with many other fine polkies. I'm still enjoying the Oppo 83 I bought from you Paul, and hope to someday be able to say "thanks" in person for the great deal.

    There are many fine folks in this forum, and it's nice to hear stories like this. Thanks for sharing Paul, and way to be Daryl!

    I have had nothing but nice experiences in my dealings with him (I do not know why my computer wanted to write "home" rather than "him," ha).

    But Darryl is definitely one of the best and deserves all of the kudos he is getting!

    Hey @hochpt21, how it is all connected?

    Denon RCA out-> Dared -> Amp section of HK?

    Denon -> HK Digital in -> Dared -> HK amp section?

    Inquiring minds want to know :smile:

    Denon RCA - Dared - Amp section of HK
    Sony TT - Phono Pre - Dared - Amp section of HK

    I don't think I could go Denon - HK Digital In - Dared - HK Amp could I?

    I think the DAC in the HK would be part of the Preamp section which is disabled....I think..
