| New $24,000 inter-connect While it’s true that to some, $24,000. is chump change, it’s also true that (by many, many times) there are more, right here in the US. who make less than that for a year of working wages.Regardless - $24,000 has no equation to the true science, v... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers My favorite of all speakers, over the years, was, without question, the Apogee Duetta Signatures. They require a bit of space and at 2 ohm, demand a great deal of good power, but when set up properly, they make the closest thing to a live performa... | |
| Spatials = Done for now! Right now I'm quite enjoying my small set of Maggie 1.7 ribbons, but have been quite intrigued with what I've seen and heard of the Spatial M3 Turbo S and the M3 Triode Master speakers. Dollar for dollar, a real deal for incredible sounding speake... | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market @tinear123 I share your feelings.In my upper mid 60s, and having a grown son and grandchildren who don't particularly share my love for HEA. My son is a builder, a doer and an avid outdoors-man and has little interest in setting still long enough ... | |

| New $24,000 inter-connect @jsautterPassenger? Well since I've been an audiophile, or at least a well engaged enthusiast, for about 40 years now and I was, until the closing of their US factories, a master machinist and field tech for one of the largest electronics and appa... | |
| Hi Fi Tuning fuses Why would we put any stock or trust in the opinions of audio equipment manufactures like Roger Modjeski, Nelson Pass, Roger Sanders, or any of the rest of them. What do they know about audio or electronics, anyway?I’m thinking, though - If you hav... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers One of my first loves in speakers was the Quad ESL63. I got a pr. back in about 1984 and had them for 20 years, until having to sell because of a down size in living space. They performed flawlessly for 20 years and were still going strong and sou... | |

| New $24,000 inter-connect @graystokeI have no doubt there are some with deep pockets, who are gullible enough to fall for such a splendid creation - truly believing it's just got to give them better sound. Or maybe just need something to stoke their ego....Jim | |
