Health Effects of Acoustic Revive RR-77?
ROTFLOL Bill !!! 
Avalon Eidolon Visions in the house
Sirspeedy,I wouldn't be too quick to jump to that conclusion. If you do a search, there are a number of posters in other forums online who have heard both and believe the Indras are better. Supposedly it is the result of the newer crossover techno... 
Question for Pure Power 1050 users
Because if the Pure Power makes high-end power cords irrelevant I won't need them and I have a buyer for my Stealth Dream power cords right now. If I wait until I have the Pure Power in my system he may jump on other power cord opportunities betwe... 
How to place speakers at the optimum height
Tom6897,If you sit 18-24" above the speaker, wouldn't the soundstage appear to be below you? :) 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
Bill has a very dry wit, but he is usually correct. 
Anyone heard new Avalon Transcendents???
Avalon is terrible about responding to emails. I own Indras and the only complaint I have is their communication via email. I can't believe that any business operating in America today willingly ignores emails and more importantly, that they think... 
Made in Canada conundrum
We travel to Canada every year to ride horses in the Rockies for a week. Last year, as every year, we shipped our jeans, hats, boots, western gear, etc, ahead of time by FedEx so we didn’t have to pack it in our luggage. We marked the box to indic... 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
After a search, here's a post from another thread for what it's worth:"I know of 2 very committed Mcormick DNA-500 lovers that have both opted to go to Spectron Musician III SE amps."I guess everyone doesn't think the DNA-500 destroys Class D. :) 
Oh how I wish Class D amps ...
TimTim,I just built Hypex UCD400HG with HXR monoblocks. They exhibit none of the characteristics you lament in Class D. I built them with a Furutech IEC and Furutech RCAs, Neotech wire and Cardas Patented Binding Posts. They are simply excellent I... 
I am in the market for a $ 5-6 k monoblock amplif
Markwatkiss,I just built Hypex UCD400HG with HXR monoblocks using Neotech wire, a Furutech IEC & Furutech RCAs and I must tell you that it has bettered my Berning ZH270 significantly in all areas. There is not one area that my Berning is bette... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Teajay,I may indeed craft a scintillating response if you have anything of significance to add here. However, at the moment the motivation is absent. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
"Fiddler, you are for some reason quite short with me in your remarks. No reason to be so strong with me..."Wow, are you an overly-sensitive guy or what, Grannyring! Like I said earlier, "Quit your whining." (BTW, if you haven't seen it, look for ... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Grannyring,You keep arguing with conventional and accepted audio design that the ultimate attenuator would be a straight wire. You can argue all you want about extracting this and that, but your argument flies in the face of generally accepted wis... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
"That is lost on a lot of sound systems that I have listen to.""I don't deny it is music to their ears, it sounds good and it is musical. But it short changes the colors of sound that I like to hear. That is where I hear the biggest difference bet...
