| MacIntosh c12000 preamp - Can not tell a difference between tube and solid state sound Match the tube preamp with an amp that gives you the sound you're looking for, and you're problem is solved. Happy listening | |
| Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND Speculation be damned. The only thing that really matters here is which cables sound best to you in your audio system, and the only way to know for sure which cables will sound best in your set-up is to audition both of them in your audio system.... | |

| JPS Labs Super Aluminata vs Reference Aluminata power cord ....... I haven't compared the two, but I do use an Aluminata PC on my amp, and it's so incredible, I'll probably keep it for the foreseeable future. Happy listening. | |
| Looking for new speaker cables Well, I've been using the same absolutely incredible speaker cables for over 15 years now, JPS Labs Superconductor 3 speaker cables. Since purchasing the Superconductor 3 speaker cables, I've changed/upgraded every other cable in my audio system,... | |

| Thoughts on Iconoclast interconnects? There are so many wonderful sounding cables out there on the market these days, it can sometimes be very difficult to choose one over the other. I never got the opportunity to hear the iconoclast cables, but what I can tell you is this, I believe... | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? Answer? Whatever bass response the recording calls for. Some recordings call for not so tight bass, and some have very tight bass. In other words, your speakers and your components should be neutral, and not effect the bass response negatively ... | |
| HOW can components be so expensive, and yet customer service is so bad. Poor customer service isn't only a growing trend amongst high-end audio manufacturers/dealers, it's also a growing trend throughout American society/ businesses in general. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? There are so many speakers out there that aren’t as bright as yours (Sonus Faber, for one). Sorry, you’ve just got to do the research and figure this one out for yourself, as this situation requires in-person/in-home/in-store auditioning for you ... |
