The bottom metal Plate of the new PMG Signature Preamp looks dirty

That was why I could not find where Paul posted the text in your post, and I re-read the whole thread.:grin:

Fixed!

Paul indicated it is not galvanized, but a different process. Electroplating would make sense.

So far I haven’t seen the reply from new owners about the bottom plate condition of their PMG Signature preamp.

My reply was never directed toward anything you may of stated positive or negative. It was directed at the individual who started the thread In my opinion a thread that should never been brought up that’s my opinion not meant to offend or upset anyone. I personally never had any issues with PS Audio products being defective or not working properly I feel fortunate. I can’t speak for the bottoms other that the MK1 DAC which seemed nice to me.

Harsh

Bringing up subjects that matter to the person posting albeit controversial or not is what makes this forum unique and rich in its content.

If anyone sees a post that bothers them, don’t participate.

Totally agree with you.

Amen, brother.

As long as no one is mean spirited or launching ad hominem attacks.

There has been more than one occasion where my initial reaction to a post was very negative and/or skeptical, but the ensuing dialogue proved to be educational (even when I ultimately maintained my disagreement with a premise, point or observation)

There are plenty of echo-chambers and insular bubbles out there on the “Interwebs”. This forum’s participants and administrators (as well as our host) generally manage to keep things stimulating; and the crowd is mostly open to different perspectives. That’s why I hang out here.

The recent discussion in the “What are you spinning?” thread was very useful for me.

Now that I understand why members are posting the thread makes much more sense.

Thanks for the reference to the other thread. It was edifying to get some perspective of someone’s background and current endeavors.

Guess I’m having a bad week.

I wish you better weeks ahead! We all see through different glasses depending on our moods, me especially. Even audio “sounds” (perceived) differently as we listen as much with our brains as our ears.
peace everyone and enjoy this special place. I started out more concerned about the baseplate at the start and increasingly less the more I contemplated it. I hope I will be fortunate enough to audition the PMG Pre in my home sometime.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Don’t care about the bottom but am curious as to what the round thing that looks somewhat like a battery is?

I think.

That is a cover plate of the mounting bolt of the toroidal transformer.

Welcome back!

Woodburger! Where ya been? Glad you’re back.

For a day or two I was afraid that this topic had died… :slight_smile:
