| Need advice on used Wilson Audio speakers @OP I don’t know your age but if your last speakers you purchased were 1983 I will assume you are no spring chicken so I would go for the Wilson’s if that is what you really like. You obviously don’t make changes to your system very often but afte... | |
| NOS Tubes - Ecstasy or Agony I find it amazing how good some of these NOS tubes sound from the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. There has been many a tube I have purchased that the outside boxes are disintegrating as well as the inner wrappers and you need to clean them up with alcohol b... | |

| Voodoo Power Cords Neutrality is their forte. They don’t emphasize the bass , treble or midrange. They just get out of the way of the music. As you go up the line you pick up more in the way of details and the sound stage increases. You seldom see them for sale used... | |
| Best Digital Music Server I have been very happy with all the Wolf Audio streamers/servers/ rippers I have had in my system. Their service is next to none . I finally worked my way up to the Red Wolf 2 and Joe Parvey downloaded all my music files for me and since I am appa... | |
