| what is the best super speaker and why? The Soundlab U-3 is discontinued. If you want this size speaker, the new M-3 is better.Sound Mind's web site lists these as new U-3, gold finish, and on sale for $12,888.00. The U-1 retails for $32,000.00, making the lowest dealer cost near 20K. I... | |
| Clearaudio Master Reference vs. Basis Debut V ?? I wish I could offer an experienced suggestion. As for beauty, the Clearaudio is the winner in my mind.

| what is the best super speaker and why? I took your advice and telephoned Sound Mind in Austin. What you heard are the (old) gold finish Soundlab U-3, not the U-1. There is no comparison between the two.I hope you find what you are looking for. | |
| Pros / Cons of Vacuum Option - Basis Debut V I too owned the Basis Debut V with vacuum, and would not consider it any other way. If you wish additional improvement, go with the Walker motor controller, it is an astounding improvement. | |

| What happened to Counterpoint's Mike Elliott? I was aware of altavista audio, but the link you provided is a good addition. I was a big fan of the high end gear manufactured by Mike Elliott, both at Counterpoint and under the EASE banner. The Counterpoint SA 9 phono stage is still one of the ... | |
| Dedicated line which wire? My thinking is much like Sean. When I chose to do runs for my stereo system, I contracted 14 dedicated 20 amp circuits. This allows a dedicated run, with its own breaker, providing power to a single duplex. Often with only one male plugged into it... | |
| speaker phase The Aesthetix Io phono stage is true balanced. Offers the traditional balanced out jacks, plus the options of phase normal and phase reverse via dual pairs of single ended RCA jacks. | |
| Audio tip for aging male audiophiles Like Cornfed, I have the barber shop trim my ear hair when getting a hair cut. In spite of the fact that I am more Centrum Gold than Flintstone chewables, I have a full head of hair. Never had a beard, and my son was frightened by my moustache whe... | |
