| What's your experience with snooty HiFi salesmen? Yes, and you don’t need to go to a store anymore because now they’re on-line in forums like this and on the phone! When that happens I won’t buy anything from them, and in some instances even the product they are selling from anyone. That’s why I ... | |
| Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround? This is not warrantee related but nevertheless relevant. I just had one of my MC30s worked on by audio classics that I sent up the first week of January and it’s still there ready to be shipped back this week. I fear it’s going to get worse becaus... | |

| Is soundstage width a myth? Width is a fundamental part of soundstage and certainly not a myth. This is basic and if you’re not at this level, something’s wrong. Just my two cents. | |
| Is soundstage DEPTH a myth? @samureyex No sir! When you start getting depth in sound stage you know you’ve got things right with your system. The right component’s, cables, vibration control, power conditioning, and noise floor, all in harmony. Anyone who tells you different... | |
