| Dk design mkii or musical fidelity A308 for KEF Generally the only way to "audition" used gear you are considering is to buy it. Then sell if it is disappointing in your setup. Been there done that. It can be a confusing, tedious and frustrating experience. Or, it can be rewarding when you get ... | |

| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs Knownothing, I have found after trials with about 15 different power cords over the past 2 years that you really have to give a cord plenty of time to sit without moving or touching it to settle into your system before making a final judgement.

| Reimer Tetons Rick Reimer no longer makes speakers. The only Reimer speakers available are used. I happen to own the Wind Rivers. I know of a fellow who was recently interested in selling his Tetons. | |
| Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim Drobbins, I agree with you on the Krell, it did have an industrial rather mechanical sound in my room, but I will say in fairness that I only had it for a weekend audition so my feelings are skewed by the shortness of time. I'll say that with the ... | |
| Power cord for Leben CS-600 I have no experience with the Leben, but have a lot of experience with integrateds in general. Thinking about it, I agree with Jaybo. You can establish a baseline for the performance of the Leben by starting with the stock cord. Let it break in/se... |
