How do I join the Orthodoxy of True Believers? Is it invitation only or does it require a donation?  
Who Were Your Mentors
Nobody. 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
@jerrybjMy supervisor and I are both ordering the SR Purple fuses. We were both going to order the SR Orange fuses, but decided to spend the extra for the new versions. However, I am waiting for my new SR Foundation power cables to arrive before I...

Whatever you do, do not ever trust your own ears. Your ears and your brain are liars. Our auditory memory is so horribly awful that no one can ever remember how music sounds. I honestly don’t understand how professional musicians can play or sing ...

Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

I recently upgraded from cables in the $50-$70 range to cables in the $600-$800 range for my system. It made a big difference in my system. Before I committed to purchasing the cables I used the Cable Company’s lending library option. It allowed m... 
What is the best amp pairing you have personally made with the Klipsch La Scala AL-5
I know this is an older conversation, but I have my La Scala AL-5s powered by a pair of McIntosh MC275s. I’m sure a lot of people here would think this is overkill with a MC275 per speaker, but it sounds amazing to me. I am completely enveloped in... 
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

My Experience With Tekton
I do find it weird there seems to be an obsession with telling everyone about these speakers.  
Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor
Thank you for taking the time with your follow up post. I have never had electricity described to me the way it was to you in terms of available power. The power draws on those other devices shouldn’t have impacted the available power to your comp... 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
I agree with Nonoise. As someone new to the site, it’s very disappointing to see a well written and non-insulting post get removed. I really appreciated your description of the item and your response to my question. Maybe someone should contact SR...
