| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Why? For the same reason they give you crap power cables; they're cheap. Mark-ups from manufacturer to Distributor to Dealer to Retail would drive the price up four or five times and make their product non-competitive. The manufacturers know t... | |
| Power cord choice? Great. A guy comes on looking for power cable recommendations and some tone deaf Troll derails the thread with unsolicited, ignorant opinions. Nice..... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics Nite Interconnect Coincident has some Fan Boys out there who are very biased. Coincident doesn't make cables; you can be sure that they are cheap cables of dubious origins that have been re-branded...like his Made in China tube amplifiers that were claimed to be 'M... | |
| Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign Don't bother. Moncrieff is an idiot, a leech and a vandal. When a company insisted that he return their component that he had kept for at least two years, he got all hissy and vandalized it before sending it back. If he had been in the same count... | |

| Montreal Show? Well, it wasn't a "yawner" but it was less well attended by manufacturers and distributors. This is not a surprise - the CES in Vegas this year was down hugely in attendance and exhibitors. It's just the way the Economy is going right now. Some of... | |
| Audio Aero and Accustic Arts I have heard both and I disagree that the Accustic Arts combo is "much better" than the Audio Aero. Both are very good, and the real choice and expressed preferences may boil down to personal tastes.Many players like Accustic Arts have a reputatio... | |
| Audio Aero Prima - not responding Just remeber that many companies were off to the CES in Vegas as early as Tuesday of last week. Many are just getting home now. That could account for the lack of replies to email and phone calls. | |
