| Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power I tried out one of the cords on a home audition. I was skeptical of what I would have called hokey PC voodoo, figuring that there would be little discernible difference. I sold my other cable two days after listening to the Wolff PC. The greatest ... | |
| Review: Michael Wolff Source and Gain Cords Power cord I purchased a PC from another highly regarded company, and it arrived yesterday. I soldit today. Not at all a bad cable. Pretty clear, actually. And in all fairness, it is a fraction of the price, so the comparisons are perhaps unfair. But I am no... | |
| Looking for a speaker under $1000. used. Soliloquy 5.3You can find them used for around $800. An absolute bargain. They fit your sonic desires, once they have about 300 or more hours on them. | |

| Comparison of Tube Output CD Players Sean,I have heard several different Pass Labs amps in other configurations, and while I found them to be extraordinary SS gear, they just never reached me the way these did when I heard them today. From the combination of these particular componen... | |
| Are horn speaker colored or more open and dynamic? Wellfed,I'll pass along the compliment to my wife. Very kind of you. She is a wonder, really.

| Are horn speaker colored or more open and dynamic? With my SET (single ended triode) amp, the horns sound as open and live as I've heard. My wife says, "You get rid of those Klipsch La Scala's, and you better pack my bag because I'm going with them!" | |

| Nightmare Just set up the stereo in the living room and tell whoever is not 'allowing' you in there that they are no longer allowed in the living room. Issue settled. Soul saved. | |
| A little assistance please on a SS Integrated Amp Jolida 302B or 502B.Great amps, right in your price range.Definitely audition the hybrids before buying. Some are downright dry, and others are abrasive, IMO.Good luck! | |
| Speaker wires for bottlehead 2a3 & klipsch chorus? I have been using Wright 2A3 SET amps with Klipsch La Scala's, and have found the Quicksilver speaker cables to be superb. Definitely go with the silver.Howard | |

| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? After some tube rolling, I've yet to find an amp I like more than the Wright Mono 3.5's (with the Wright preamp--a must!)I've heard $25K amps that I did not find as engaging and accurate. | |
| Should there only be one company making gear? When all you Norse wanna be's are stocked and ready, please post your full-body glossies here. Your enthusiasm has spread to the inner circles of top Hollywood casting agents, and you're all going to be extras in the next four Heath Ledger project... | |
