| Bose Bashers Read This ! Bose in general: While some might respect their long-term success, as an avid fan of music and it's proper reproduction it is impossible for me to respect their products and sleazy sales tactics. My guess is the majority of their "research" is of ... | |

| Clean Ears: Cheap Tweak? The above comments lead to a little investigation. Here's a couple of Web links on the subject. One has a picture of something that probably came from an audiophile's ear...: http://www.mayohealth.org/mayo/askphys/qa971031.htm http://www.cscd.nwu.... | |
| Speakers for McCormack You might want to take a look at the Hales Revelation line. Jazz is my favorite genre and I have Revelation 3s paired with a McCormack DNA-1. For the money the Hales are hard to beat. Check out both the 2 and 3 model. You might have a problem gett... | |
| Vandy 2CE versus Hales 3 In a recent comparison of the Vandersteen 2CE Signature to the Hale Revelation 3 I chose the Hales. The Hales cost $500 more than the Vandies, but are worth the difference. Splid bass, nicely balance sound, less laid back, the Hales suited my tast... | |
| Analysis Plus Speaker cables Like you I'm just trying to be helpful, Sean. Considering all the great info I've gleaned from this site it's nice to be able to add a little something to the discourse. BTW, AP is now aware of AA's faux pas on the cable images. | |
| Analysis Plus Speaker cables Here's Analysis Plus' response: Thank you for bringing this discussion to our attention, and also for your very eloquent replies to Sean. You are certainly correct in your response, the copper Oval 9 and Oval 12 were the original designs, and have... | |
| Analysis Plus Speaker cables Please correct me if this is wrong, Sean, but based on AP's Web site you have the designs mixed up. The Oval 9 and 12 are (and to my knowledge always were) stacked designs and the Silver 12 is "coaxial". The Oval 9 and 12 came first, so the Silver... | |

| Where to buy lead shot JBM, what was the difference you noticed? Has anyone else tried filling their stands with lead vs. sand vs. lead/sand? I'm especially interested in comparisons involving filled equipment racks instead of stands, too? Any appreciable difference the... | |
| Where to buy lead shot Please don't consider this to be an expert opinion because it's not, but here goes anyway. I'd go with the lead shot due to it's higher density over sand, though some use both. Though it might be obvious, the larger the designation the smaller the... | |
| Where to buy lead shot Look for sporting goods stores that provide reloading supplies. Those catering to skeet or bird hunters are a good bet. There are online suppliers, too, but beware of the shipping costs of lead! | |
| How Good are the Analysis Plus speaker c Mikeg, Thanks for the input. It helps confirm that my upgrade path makes some sense. Sean, No offense taken at all. Your comments were well made and the discourse appreciated. | |
| How Good are the Analysis Plus speaker c Sigh. Such is the problem with full disclosure, isn't it? Sean, I'm not a good person to use as when proving one's arguments. My position in this is essentially neutral, so believe what you want, but don't use me as your "proof"; I'm much too like... | |
