PSB vs Thiel 2.2/3.6 -- Any thoughts?
Owned a pair of 3.6's and have heard many different pairs of PSB's. The PSB's never made me want to sell my Thiels. But Thiels are very demanding and require good up stream components ( I owned all cj premier components at the time) to sound their... 
Digital upgrade, Why Can't I make a decision?

20 amp to 15 amp IEC Adapters
I got a couple of quotes to change the 15A IEC on my power cord and it was going to cost twice as much as the VooDoo adapter. So I bought the adapter. 
20 amp to 15 amp IEC Adapters
I searched but couldn't find one so I bought the Voodoo .... It worked great... 
Sonus Faber Extrema and CJ MF2500A
I don't see why not but it really depends on what the impedence curve looks like and how efficient the Extrema's are...Of course everyone has a different definition of what adequate means.......I had an MF2500A driving a pair of Thiel 3.6's; a ver...
