| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Direct sales probably the only way for hi-ends company to survive. I know my post will be deleted but this is the fact: I receive 20% discount from certain hi-end retailers and they still make quite a bit profit above "dealer cost". Sorry to offen... | |

| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication I have a question for Larryx7, In country as India and I believe also in most countries in Europe, as long as your blood pressure is under 140/90, you are considered healthy. What's up with the 120/80 in the US ? Sounds like pharmarceutical compan... | |

| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Larryrs7, my BP was always in the 140/88 in the PM and 135/82 in the AM. DR. told me any reading above 135 will need meds.

| Manley Snapper mono blocks-Your opinions please Mr. Tennis, thanks for the "snappy" hint. I will keep that in mind. Another thought about another audiophile in Louisiana area, Mr. Bob Reynolds may God keep you and your loved ones safe from all the perils of Gustav. | |

| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control All I can say is the SP16L I owned came back from ARC with some modification and it did not show any improvement. As the matter of fact, it got worse that I ended up selling back to local dealer for much less than what I paid for. The SP16 has bee... | |
| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control I had the brand new SP16l for less than 2 weeks and I sold it at a big loss after ARC sent it back to me and the annoying abrupt level control did not get any better but worse. It is not the mismatch pre/amp issue. It is the flaw of the SP16 desig... | |
