| Overrated/Underrated my only opinion applies to RCA interconnectsUnderrated- MG Audio Planus (silver). I never heard any buzz, nor have read any reviews on these, but I was home demoing a preamp, and needed an extra set of interconnects to make the demo easier for my... | |
| I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking? The moisture absorption might be an issue. I used lead weights (free from my local tire store) and added sand.JUST AS IMPORTANT as the material is the level of fill. I experimented with quarter, half and all the way filled. Surprised at differe... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? I have had a PL HP power amp for about 4 years now, purchased used for 3-4K. I enjoyed tube rolling and auto bias, settling in on various combinations with three different speakers over that time. Had lots of fun doing so. Driving Maggies now ... | |

Sold the 8b in the mid 80s, Parted with the Rogers around 2000. I had a chance to listen to both (separately) in ... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Metallurgical/materials Engineer, retired 5 years. I spent most of my career determining the best material/metal/polymer to make things out of. I get a chuckle from many of the materials related items in audio, especially tweaks, isolation, and o... | |
