New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
If Grannyring is correct that there is enough paste to do several systems why is this company not selling smaller sizes ? Half the quantity half the $300 . Or maybe a $75 bottle for one system . Makes no sense to have to buy enough product for 3 s... 
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Micro arching is not a term coined from the maker of this contact enhancer . I seen it in a Caig advertisement . I believe goergehifi linked Caig on a forum post and it can be seen there . Cant seem to find it now after 10 minutes of looking . Any...

Crown XLS 1502.... real life test.

Should I eliminate my preamp?

^^^ Any pics to show ?  
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
The old luxury car analogy again . Poll 100 random people on the street with the question why does a Rolls Royce cost more than a KIA . You will get a answer from everyone . Show them a picture of a $100 speaker cable and a picture of a $30,000 sp...
