| Who buy PS AUDIO ? Kinda spotty track record, putting out some great affordable gear but also some stinkers, offering beginner-level and higher-end tiers, but scarce in the middle. The Stellar series is admirable with good quality for the price, and is frequently c... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I started thinking - what other industry companies include required parts to make an item run and then turn around and blatantly tell you not to use them because they’re crap? Power cords have to be at least good enough so they don’t catch fire if... | |
