I am not sure if I misinterpreted something posted above. But if I did then maybe others did as well.For the record: My Romulus plays CD-Rs (16/44.1) very well. I am spinning a homemade compilation disk as I type.

Why do so many people on Audiogon insist on posting when they have no direct knowledge of the product being discussed? Hearsay is not allowed in a court of law and has little use here as well. It is OK to suggest someone consider a product and do ...

Solid Maple vs Butcher Block

Jl35,Thank you. That is the kind of direct experience I was looking for. How did the speakers interface the maple? I mean spikes directly onto the wood or disks or something else. How thick was the maple? 2" is a lot less expensive than 4" and aes...

Where can I find 1/4 20 speaker spikes???
I hit send too soon. I forgot to add that Madisound has a large selection. The Yung YLC are great for the price. I have used many of them. The YBLCs are also very nice if you need extra height. And both come in "G" gold plated versions. Good luck....

Precious little is FREE. If it costs Amazon money then rest assured prices will be increased somewhere to pay for it. Maybe the cost will just be pennies/CD but the cost has to be covered somehow. Great, something else to pay for that I will never...
