| Trouble Contacting Clear Day Cables Good Lord this makes me very sad. Paul's kindness, encouragement and wisdom helped save my life when I was in an extreme amount of distress a few years back. Those of us who've been fortunate enough to talk to him are very blessed. I posted earl... | |
| Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years. Vandersteens. All of them. | |

| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 McCormack amps are excellent, not expensive, and have many upgrade iterations. It would behoove you to give Steve a call before you purchase anything else. | |
| Looking for opinions on components for a vintage tube system and 90's solid state A CJ Premier 16 preamp and any McCormack amp would be superb. | |
| Any Tyler Acoustics owners out there? Great choice my friend. If you can take a break from listening send us a report. | |
| Any Tyler Acoustics owners out there? I own Tyler D 10's, 6'2" tall and 260 lbs each. They play delicate jazz with aplomb, or produce a Zeppelin concert in your house. They're sensitive and don't necessarily require much power, although I usually power them with Bel Canto Ref 500 m's... | |
