FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard

Sistrum Platforms
After putting in many hours of work in comparing racks, shelves, and all the other things I have used in the past, the Sistrum Platforms are the best investment I think I have ever made. I can't tell you in words like a reviewer. What I have lost ... 
Need Speaker Help and Opinions Fast?

Krell Amps and Pre-amps
Hi Simancd, I don't know if you are planning on buying used or new. If you are going to buy new, there shouldn't be a dealer that won't loan you amps to try out in your home. If you are buying used, you take your chances.My experience is the oppos...

Garfish and Joe b's advise are just a very few reasons why, IMO, Stereophile mag and the likes will soon die. Who needs them. You will find more useful information from the Audiogon members than 95% of the reviewers. Those that need specs, measure...
