Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps
Ah, the trouble with fishing in a small pond. I have the same problem from time-to-time because the gear I own, or am interested in, is not widely distributed. I have heard neither. I have read nothing but positives about both. There is another cu... 
How to listen to the good stuff?
From the responses so far, it sounds like the best thing to do is try and go to a show. Going to a show, even some of the smaller regional shows, is probably the best bang for the buck. If you can find something that appeals to you at the show, t... 
Decware - any substance here?
OK, I know this thread is posted in the Amp / Preamp section but since this is probably the longest thread about Decware outside its own forums and the OP's title is whether there is any substance about Decware, I’d like to know if anyone has any ... 
How to listen to the good stuff?
I asked the OP about his room because ultimately, as Hhiggins just wrote, he needs to hear the equipment in his room. I think it is important to eliminate the room's effects as much as possible.The OP wrote he had two "incredible" systems in his h... 
How to listen to the good stuff?

Problems with Marantz AV 8003 & new AV 7005
The Marantz AV7005 adds MultEQ XT which addresses part of Kal's reservation. It adds the Pro option (which Kal will probably like but did not appear to be a deal-killer for him) and it has been suggested that it will have enough processing power t... 
Decware - any substance here?
What's not to like? They are all low powered, the chassis is of a light weight and are not dead quiet.Not dead quiet? A typo, yes? 
Any vets among the Audiophiles here?
Coltrane1, I know you are a vet; why would I thank you for your service othewise? As far as public forums, yes, you are free to add your comments; just as I am free to ask they stay on topic. I honestly don't know why you think there is a lot of f... 
Any vets among the Audiophiles here?
And if that questioning would/could establish a better form of democracy than we've experienced the 55 or so years of my lifetime then I for one would be proud if that questioning began on an AG forum. Coltrane1 Coltrane1 -- if you want to questio... 
Any vets among the Audiophiles here?
Coltrane and MJ -- Can we just leave the politics of war out of this thread? Before you flame me, the thread is about audiophiles who also happen to be vets. Can we just let it go at that?Thanks. 
Top 5 Hamburgers
While I still give Five Guys an Honorable Mention against the others I mentioned, one definite big plus about them is that when you order fries, you get an ORDER of fries. Too much for me so one order is plenty big enough to share with the family.... 
Any vets among the Audiophiles here?
I know what you mean, Pettyofficer. Looks like you got around pretty good.While I did not get to the Pacific, my tour in West Germany allowed me to explore Europe and the Med. Those stationed at Wueschheim AS were a pretty close-knit group of men ...
