| Quad ESL service, Electrostatic Solutions or Quads Unlimited ? @osborn Sounds like you may need to remind Wayne P that there is a legal avenue available to you here in the US...it's called small claims court- and might be necessary for you to investigate. Pity that we get to hear these horror stories on thes... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE I think the ONLY way these companies and their dealers learn is for everyone to vote with their wallet. Maybe when their income stream dries up, they will learn their lesson. | |

| Audio Research Ref 6 SE @9rw +1000What is still one of the most annoying and IMHO unethical things is the fact that so so many folks seem to think that it is ok to tell people some of the facts, but not all of the facts....IOW, it's what they don't tell you that hurts. ... | |

| Best sounding universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD) @chipdelacalada I have now been listening to the new Silverstar ic between my Esoteric and the preamp. It is a superb cable with no faults that I can hear. Slightly more capable in the dynamics department and very slightly more able to portray bo... | |
| At what price point do I run into diminishing returns on an MC Cartridge? Dear @rauliruegas Scan Tech and Lyra are basically one and the same! Scan Tech is the corp name...Lyra is the brand name.

| At what price point do I run into diminishing returns on an MC Cartridge? @normantaylor. Price and cartridge desirability are not necessarily connected, IMO. What has been mentioned above is certainly very true. A lot of the results will be highly dependent on the ancillary gear and room. Another variable is set up expe... | |

| Black Cat Cable's/Coppertone wires are amazing good! @veroguy I have not heard the Coppertone vs the 3232’s. I now also own a pair of Silverstar interconnects and can compare those to the Coppertone ic’s. The Silverstar are indeed a step up from Coppertone...mainly in their bass resolving ability an... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? Regardless of your main speaker capability in the bass, there will be instances where you will need bass re-enforcement in the room. This is going to be dependent on the room size and acoustics. The alternative is also true ( but far less often). ... |
