| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I bought one as a lark for 30 bucks and have to agree with the above that after a few days it was impressive. FYI, sued with mapleshade cork blocks and greg straleys reality ICs. Too bad after my son picked it up, and moved it a few inches, it sto... | |

This could probably be confirmed via specs on the web site... | |
| Omega Mikro Power Strip i have a a mapleshade delux unit and find it pretty neutral and does not add or subtract and actually this it what one should strive for. It added good bit of foundation when used with some tube amps. tis a bit odd a cheap looking though...i can l... | |

| HomeGrown Audio Impressions My concern re RFI is that when I use by SS IC's with my vintage mc tuner I get a harsh spitiness/ssssss in the upper midrange which I do not get (as much) with my CD player. It could be a product of break in but i dont think so given the execellen... | |
