That's why I use American Express. They LOVE to go after bad guys and will protect you no questions asked. That's why I have been a loyal customer for 30 yrs. They have ALWAYS helped me out. 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
I think most Steinway's sound dull and boomy. And yes, on my system, I can hear the difference between one of their overrated instruments and a Boesendorfer, or an upright Baldwin for that matter. Maybe you need better gear. Forget about ALL jargo... 
Schumann Resonator
I have 2 of them also. Nobsound units.They also make me feel a whole lot better physically and mentally.Originally bought one for my system and it did a lot of great things. Placement is key, more art than science BUT the overall calming effect wa... 
DAC finalist please help
I was set to get the AM tubiedoor  : )  But then they stopped returning e-mails. It's OK I saw some "under the hood" pics and no thanks, yikes.for now, just to get a taste of the whole NOS thing, I bought a VERY NICE bespoke little DAC. Built by a...

DAC finalist please help
Thank you one and all! A lot of votes for the AM Tubadour III. The SE is beyond my budget rt now but the the standard III gets good reviews and I think it's upgradeable...??? MHDT Atlantis is another. I could not find a AM used, if I did I would b...

Opening Record Store
I wish you well and all the best. I live in NYC and almost every single record store from Tower and J&R to Rebel Rebel and Rocks in Your Head are long gone :(  and we are worse for it. I don't know how you could pay your rent with such a low p... 
... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound...

Explain what is a clean power amplifier?
one that has been washed regularly, with an organic soap /cleanser, and occasionally rubbed gently with a dead sea mineral/ sea salt solution, helps electrical connectivity. Then finished with a high quality paste wax, like Mothers or Griot’s Gara... 
Why are there so many wooden speakers?
Maybe you should just get planner type speakers and take the box out of the equation...   
What isolation feet under your amp with great result?
McCormack Tip Toes. Surprisingly instantly noticeable improvement.    
Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
Clicks and pops! why even bother!  
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
MSD 8.5mm Super Conductor Spark Plug Wire Sets 31649 is a great set of wires and a great bang for the buck! 
I need advice for power cords
Any high quality Green Dot Hospital grade cord will do a very good job. The Pangea's are also a great bang for the buck. With power cords you start running into the law of diminishing returns very quickly...My 30 buck Jelly Fish Green Dot is way b...
