Buying decision time, or Time for a sanity check?
For speakers, I've always listened with my own ears. I also have a dealer friend who has correctly predicted whether I'd like or dislike the sound of every audio item except one, and this has been over a period of around 10 years, including home a...

Transformer noise including Powervar
