| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house Bill, The PWT is a high speed DVD ROM with a memory buffer, not a traditional laser CD spinner. There's a difference. Charles, | |

| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I agree with Calloway, arguments over what's "best" is strictly an individual preference with many variables, certainly system/component matter. Both of these cables are considered to be stellar. No need for another pissiing contest. | |

Generally speaking you pay more to achieve better sound, however there are certainly exceptions to that in hig... | |

| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? Hi,Your experience is quite different from mine (could it be system, different ears ?). One of the many attributes of the Frankenstein has been agility, speed, trasient performance and vibrant energetic sound when called for. I appreciate the fact... | |

I'm enthralled with what my amp does in reproducing acoustic instruments and voice so natural and realistically. I will say that after hearing several differen... | |

Having reviewed both 300b and the 845 amplifiers how do they differ in their presentation. How do these... | |
