| Cornwall IV vs. Volti Rival, Razz; Razz v. 1, 2, 3 -- what changed? I clearly remember that thread. The problem was that Silverfox was browbeating the forum in a very explicit manner as if he were desperate to "make a sale." It became kind of unnerving. | |

| Netting Over Connectors - Do They Help? Well, one of those thingies could be made out of fine copper screen knitted to fit, Then the forum could engage in endless arguments about whether or not a difference could be heard. The arguments alone might be worth the price of admission. | |
| Speakers sound too bright. @tksteingraber Agree about the Dueland DCA 10ga.They tamped down my Cornwall 4's without loss of detail, and they had been thoroughly broken in by being in the loop of an old telephone transfer station for decades. Also affixed one inch diamete... | |
| Preamp Sibilance? Were the Telefunken tubes ever swapped out? | |
| The revival of Bach Maybe incontestable? We could go on. | |
