Prima Luna vs jolida
Take a look at the VAS/Cayin line, better sound, better value.Why? How is it better? I can't even find a price on the mono blocks. 
Prima Luna vs jolida

gallo nucleus 3.1 vs. vandersteen sig 3a

I use the mapleshade ultrathin, not the double helix. it is $32.00 for a meter. it's bizarre looking stuff! and, oh my gosh is it fragile. but, it has superb locking terminations. the sound is very detailed, with great imaging and soundstage. not ...
