| Power cable for Arcam AVR400 Hi knownothing,I have tried several "inexpensive" power cords with my Onkyo 885 (Integra 9.8) processor and had the best luck with the old SR A/C Master Coupler, X-series (active shielding) and X2 (better active shielding), the latter being the be... | |
| Best Cheap Amps for Magneplanar Speakers Randy,It would be a miracle to find a new SS amp for $1k that will outperform your Sunfire.Dave | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Individual preferences are the heart of the hobby. Denial without experience is not. Products should be tried before judgement using manufacturers' instructions and a great amount of common sense (re: setup and settling time) and then judged accor... | |

| Wilson Audio Haters Hi crazyeddy,Bet he would be happy with one of your awesome custom bikes instead. Dave | |

| Wilson Audio Haters "I stood up and the sound was almost completely below me."Hi gpgr4blu,No snarkiness intended and I have never owned Wilsons, but it never ever occurred to me to judge image height (or anything else) of speakers while standing. Is that what you mea... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi fleschler,These are my experiences and they are real in my system and room. Other’s have stated similar observations with SR’s power products, including Ted Denney III and Eliott Nommensen of SR as well as any reviewer that has written about th... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? "I’ll be glad to hear how you would test yourself!"Maybe a misrouted-post intended instead for the infectious disease center, Ethan?Dave | |
| Wilson Audio Haters This was a BS test for you bo, and you failed miserably. "different modified Marantz sources" is not a MODWRIGHT-modified Marantz, Sony, or Oppo. I am satisfied at this point that you are of the "only my sh!t doesn't stink" ilk and are to be ignor... | |
