    I know there are a number of satisfied NOSValve customers here, so am a little surprised by the lack of participation in this thread. I know its the start of summer and all, and most of us are much more active here in the winter, but Craig is really in need here and could use our help. Please donate if you have the means to do so. If you were in his shoes I know you would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I used to have CF-2's where they were 12' apart and 1' from the front wall. They were toed in to the listening position about 12' away. I miss those speakers quite a bit. I bought them new in '96, and they started my Klipsch journey...

    NOSValves NBS preamp in the house!!

    When the time comes I'll ship you my proto type to use while you send me your prototype back for me to remove the SUT and of course your Cca.

    I think Dean was laughing at the whole sentence, but then again I could be wrong too. [:)]

    Getting back on toopic, I received the case from TK and installed it a few hours ago. I gotta say, this thing is beautiful, and it fits like a glove over the NBS. The pictures don't do it justice...

    Mike - Just wait a few months for the step-up to fully break in. Mine is far and away a better sounding unit than it was just a month ago and it really does seem to improve every time I play an LP.

    Thanks Gary! Craig mentioned it could take a few hunderd hours for the step-up to break in. In addition, all of my tubes are new, so I'm going thru that as well.

    My only complaint (and it's very minor) is there is some noise with no music playing and the volume at about the 100 - 105db level (agree, that's pretty loud ;-). Craig said it's coming from the Step-Up transformer and he is correct. When I plug the TT into the MM input and flip the selector switch to MM I do not hear it. He mentioned when things settle down he can address that. Just to be fair I had the same noise coming from the BBX only it was louder. :-)

    All in all I couldn't be happier with this preamp.Thanks again Craig!! And like Gary mentioned, I wish you and yours nothing but the best. Keep positive and keep pushing on.

    Mike
