| Gustard R26 - good but not the one I have the Chord DAVE, also a few years old. But haven't been tempted to upgrade. A friend wants me to try Lapizator...maybe someday. But DAVE is just too good. Jerry | |
| Can an Electric Car make your system sound better Your stereo will be powered by battery which sounds like a good idea to a layperson. What most fail to realize is that there is a cheap inverter that turns the battery DC into 120V ac. Since there is no need for quality AC for most things, it is... | |
| Seeking audition of Tekton Moab, Encore, or Ulfberht speakers in DFW Metroplex area Tektons pair best with tubes. I put mine up for sale because I just wasn't happy with the sound. I potential buyer asked if he could bring his amp over. I listened to 30 seconds of the first song and told him that I would honor my offer to sel... | |
