| Nordost Odin 1 vs Valhalla V2 If it is "hard earned" money, I wouldn't purchase either, but if you have "easy come" money, the Odin 1 is a better performing cable if your like the Nordost sound. | |
| Audio Eden & Lack of Response - Anyone Else? That is VERY VERY unusually for Audio Eden. They have always been very responsive and accommodating. Audio Eden is a highly respected brick and mortar retailer who succeeds and excels at customer service. I am at a loss for an explanation, but I h... | |
| Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes My friends Elrog 845 tube failed last month and took out a resistor. Not sure who he bought the tubes from but they are sending a replacement tube. | |
