Where can I find 1/4 20 speaker spikes???
Audio Points have always worked well for me. 
Why does an audiophile grade power cord matter?
06-03-13: DanorooYou can hear a difference in power cords for the same reason that a sugar pill can cure a headache if the person ingesting it believes it's medicinal.Danoroo, I find that to be true for many, and it works both ways. If you do NOT ...

+1 to Hifigeek1's reco, look for a nice tubed integrated amp in your price range.

Goldenear1948, it seems as if you are starting to figure out who's behind the curtain. Kevin is not alone back there, the glossy rags have served their masters (advertisers) well for decades now.All of the reviewers today remind me of Julian Hirsc...
