| kt_88 vs unnamed dealer I had a very similar thing happen to me. The product was priced fairly but was scratched and dented where it had been described as "immaculate". The sales guy quit answering my emails and calls after I complained.Going back to the web site, I look... | |
| Inexpensive Tri-Wire Cables I bought some custom DH Lab tri-wire cables from Jeff Delman of Value Audio. He advertises on Audiogon. He's very helpful and has a wide selection of terminators. Search on DH Lab and look in the classified area. | |

| Pyramid/Sequerra T-1 Tweeter The current model (Sequerra T-1 Mk IV) retail for $4500/pair on the Sequerra web site. Mine were manufactured by the Pyramid Loudspeaker Corp which I assume is out of business since I can't find any reference to them on audio sites. I haven't list... | |
| Best Home Th Pre-Pro under 4K ish - used I've got a Krell HTS. Killer stuff. Tons of inputs and outputs, that killer blue power light and high resale value. Krell's reputation is for brutally accurate reproduction of sources and that's exactly what the HTS gives you. I see some used unit... |
