| SolidSteel 3 Series vs Salamander Archetype I own both.IMO: I'd suggest you go with the SolidSteel 3 Series although they are both good selections. Sonically, I'm hot sure that I can hear a difference, but the principals SolidSteel incorporates into the stand look to me to make more sense. | |
| Porter Port break in ? I agree 100% with Hdm.Well said. | |
| Plinius SA amps I have owned the Plinius SA 50, 100, and own the SA Reference. I've never had the problem you speak of. I'm thinking maybe it's do to a mismatched preamp? | |

| The 1.6 Maggies - any thoughts on best amp? Wyred 4 Sound. | |

| JADE AUDIO Cables I like the new website, looks good! :-) | |
| Advice re PC for Plinius amp Do you have a ground toggle switch on the back of your amp?Do you hear any difference when you use it? | |
