| linn klimax vs the big boys krell, levinson, etc I've heard them A/B'd against the Levinson 33 monoblocks (the BIG boys) driving Revel Salons (Linn transport, Levinson DAC and 32 pre-amp).

| Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping? I have also heard, from an AudiogoN dealer who seems to ship a lot of goods, that insuring a piece at FedEx for $5000 or more puts it into a 'special handling' category and it is therefore physically separated and/or treated better than the 'cheap... | |

And how many WANT one?Porsches are not cheap, they are not compromised (well, maybe their new cheapo... | |
| Does anyone know who makes/sells... Erik,To tell you the truth, no sonic improvements were heard by either me or my wife (who got me these for Christmas a few years ago...). I put them under the speaker cables which are are Nordost SPM, and these elevators have been reportedly able ... | |

| Anyone heard the Acapella Campanile or Violin? Thank you Jtinn and Detlof.We did not notice the lack of liveness/slam during our listening and appreciate that you did (well, kind of ;-). We like slam as much as the next guy but are willing to modify our amplification to compensate for this par... | |

| Levinson: 20.6 or 33H? Well, I'll post a contrasting opinion here. My bias is that I own the 20.6, and have only heard the 33H (a number of times, and the 33 once).In my opinion, all the amps that levinson made after the 20.6 are bland and boring sounding. They *tried* ... | |
