| Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? I read he auditioned the Parasound amp he recommended.

| Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? sound advice need not consider all the options. It just needs to be useful to many. So what's the problem. What better sound advice might be offered? Ransom the house for a uber expensive stereo or suffer? Most can't afford that so not no sound. I... | |

| Most overrated audio manufacturers? If I can't trust my wires to work miracles, who can I trust?They are so simple compared to all the rest. Even a wire hanger might work in the clutch. Now that's a miracle!No wonder people feel the need to spice them up a bit. Who cares about such ... | |
| Rock and roll speakers? Yep size still matters when it comes to full range speaker output capacity, which is the main factor to consider to be able to play all kinds of music. If it can play the big stuff loud and well it can play all the rest. I think that was atmaspher... | |
