| How do you get to demo equipment? I used to let internet contacts audition my system, as it is quite difficult to find Utopias in this neck of the woods. I made one new friend and was pestered to death by about twenty boring idiots. So I don't do it no mo'Will | |
| Nobody doing thier own experimenting or research? I can relate to some of the frustration voiced on this thread. Experiments can be costly or impossible for some folks.

| Pro Audio Gear? Be forewarned, pro audio forums are many times not congenial to audiophile topics and ideas. Our concerns for tweaks, in particular, is often the source of much merriment if not open ridicule and derision.Be ready for it.Will | |

| Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio? A friend of mine had the phantoms and they sounded great in his tiny grad school apartment. I no longer remember the character of the sound but I remember liking it at the time.Will | |
| Strange noise after amp's off ??? You have inadvertently obtained a unit with the patented "Cat Alert" feature. The bong sound advised the household cat that you have finished listening and s/he may now resume sharpening claws on your grill cloth. |
