| Cables more hype than value? Anyone remember the old Tales from the Crypt with the cable guy? Abel with the cable? Would be a good slogan. | |
| Review: Nordost QX4 AC filter I own the QX4 and would describe it as you have. I think it is a great product that has become an integral part of my system. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? No I didn't but I've spent lots of time with the Aquila and that is an amazing speaker. I can only imagine what the Altairs are like. Have you compared them? | |
| Vandy 5a's spider cracks in heads Agree with the above. He will fix them for free or very little if the design is not structurally sound. This is how he built his business! | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I listened to the Magico Q7 at a local Boston dealer a few months ago and was taken away by the power and scale of the music. The room was big and well treated and the amplification and components were excellent. The speakers were placed slightly ... | |

| Nordost Frey interconnect hum I noticed a hum when I didn't have them properly set. Just jiggle and tighten or remove and put them on again. Great cables. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers Sorry to post again but I just want to emphasize the perception of value or worth vs. satisfaction. Especially with a big and heavy speaker. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I have no Dunlavy experience but I have purchased big heavy older speakers, like Model 5's, and it was a real hassle. Difficult to unpack, potential driver issues, packing again, expensive shipping.I say be really careful and go less with value an... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes With the right cable things just settle a little more. Easier flow and the more relaxed things will be. It's all personal preference and goals. Double blind tests help in the beginning. Good luck. | |
| Totem Owners.... I had the Forest, Super 8 and Tamino in my system with tube and solid state Luxman and mastersound and Ayre gear. Tamino came out on top with soundstage, clarity,and most importantly musicality. | |
| Christmas '12 Audio Upgrades? Wife bought me a pair of Q7's but I would need too much room treatment, and I don't like that look, so I sent them back. |
