| How many components to attach to one outlet? There are a number of power strips which actually audibly improve performance, acting as if they "condition" without the usual costly box. This could plug into one outlet of your dedicated line.The one I have enjoyed is the top of the line Maplesh... | |
| Review: Michael Wolff Cables Silver/Gold/Carbon Interconnects Interconnect Thanks for your review. As I inhabit a lower priced point in the Audiogon continuum, shall look forward to someday hearing yours used when you upgrade to a newer creation from Michael Wolff since such a great designer never rests on his laurels fo... | |
| Anyone heard of 'Clearview' from Mapleshade?? The Mapleshade Clearview IC line has a top model which is the best analog effort for them, and should complement your speakers.

| Monitor Shootout There is a pair of Platinum Audio Duo's for sale here on Audiogon, and although I only owned mine for a short time, this was a uniquely endowed monitor speaker. Can sound special in a moderate size room. Of course, my idea violates the "rule" abou... | |
| Power Cable - what´s your best? If you can tolerate an odd appearance, and having to spread apart four strands from component to wall socket, the Mapleshade Records Clearview Double Helix Mk II Plus Version Power Cord for $285 list price new is just a wonderful performer. If it ... | |
| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? A number of really sophisticated listeners among the audio dealers used to recommend the Aronov Audio LS-960I which converted to selling factory direct. A very natural and musically satisfying sound which makes it hard to imagine anything missing ... | |
| a question about Aurios Media Isolation Bearings I use the original MIB's with care and have had better performance with them in my systems than with other supports for CDT and turntable for vinyl records. You are correct that one has to have a light touch and value the benefits enough to use th... | |
