Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what?
The title of my thread states my thoughts on quality of Mapleshade recordings. My point about mentioning the staggering amount of positive reviews and use world wide was to make the case that their are other completely opposite opinions (by those ... 
Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what?
I have to say I agree Nilthepill. The recordings are not excessively processed. It seems odd that the Mapleshade line is consistently on almost every major recording or audiophile major publication list as the best of the best and someone could fi... 
CD player tweaks
I agree with Hdm about mass loading but disagree about the mass. A couple of Emag audio reviewers live here in town and they mass load their transports/players with Lead Shot. Go to gun shop or some hardware stores and get Lead Shot in canvas bags...

Suggestions for a 'good' FM antenna?
All the Parsecs, Radio Shack, Terks (FM Pro was the best of that breed) are pretty much corruptive of the signal (amplifier noise and signal). Here are my suggestions in order of effectiveness: dipole, BIC Beam Box Model 8 or 10 (passive antenna w... 
Is B&W A Reputable Company

PS: Correction on above, I meant to give a range of $2350 to $3300. 
SIM Audio DEPRECIATION - Slide to hole?
I monitor audiogon.com, audioreview.com, moonaudio.com, audioshopper.com. audioweb.com, ebay.com. I have seen them at $2350-$3000 probably avg $2900. I have seen more of them relative to the small distribution network than most other high end amps... 
power amp draw
LOL. Clearly all things being equal Class A by definition will contribute the greatest to Global Warming. 
power amp draw
You bring up a oft non-mentioned or thought of arrogance of audiophiles (me included)is the effective use of electricity. The thing that shocked me the most is when I picked up a electricity useage device from my public library (my understanding t... 
Best Small Office Speakers
Have you given thought to a pair of NHT Super Twos. I gave up the corporate life some time ago and listen to FM etc in the background now in my GIS Practice Office. 
Am I deaf?
In light of BuckFamily's comment about Stereophile Class A and multitudes of others on the net, in the print media, and on the street: I suggest we challenge Stereophile on several fronts: 1.) They are outrageously inconsistent in their methodolog...
