Dave, I am sorry about your losing your child.  That is horrible.  As for Mr. Kait, he is just ducking questions.  Whether its Einstein or puritan sayings, the end result is the same.

Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
You are right and I am wrong; however, understand I use isolation in the loosest sense for all Audiogon community backgrounds. The correct term that Star Sound uses on its platforms are "Energy transfer systems". Is Star Sound into sales or con...
