Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
That gradual decline you speak of seems to me to be just a generational thing, in that different values and expectations are the norm now instead of the exception.When that ship goes down, we're taking an irreplaceable part of that culture with us... 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
If one just looks at reviews as a jumping off point and do their due diligence (homework, footwork, inquiries) and stop relying on others to gift them the answer to their prayers, than all would be well in the world.We've become a spoon fed countr...

Tonian Labs
Sorry, Bigkidz, that things are going the way you describe. It doesn't sound right. If the cables work for him when returned, then there'd be no need to take them apart to inspect them. If they are in "like new" condition, all the better. I don't ... 
What is your preference, Records or CDs?
I'm in the "I prefer CD camp" due to convenience. I've yet to find or hear a PC setup that that sounds great that wouldn't break me financially. Having it all at my fingertips is not a selling point, to me. My recent acquisition of a great SACD pl...

I know Tony Manasian from buying a pair of his speakers through Acoustic Image (owned and operated by Elliot Midwood) and even had him over to my place to see if I had it set up correctly and had him make a coax cable for me as well. He even sourc... 
Genesis - a new loudspeaker
I've heard Genesis speakers and their amp and was amazed at the sound. I don't know which model speaker it was but I'd love to have a pair. Now knowing how much they cost, I know I'll never have a pair. :-(They are a speaker for life.All the best,... 
EASY SET UP ALL IN ONE RECIEVER EXIST?
Heed RW's advice. Don't rush into this as you'll find something better right after you plunk your hard earned dollars down on that Bose system. 
New tv?
I was at Best Buy the other day and what I thought was a plasma was a LED TV and it had fantastic black levels and vibrant colors. I have a Samsung plasma and love it and yet here was a LED TV with comparable picture quality and mine is only 8 mon... 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
Watches hold an edge over audio when it comes to disposable income so it's no wonder why or how they can outsell audio equipment. Breitling is not even on my radar when it comes to desirable watches and yet it has an audience. I just don't like th...

Watts that? 
Reviewing the Reviewers - and the decline of HiFi
I've yet to find, outside of the 3 mainstream car mags, only positive reviews of cars. One needs to know where and how to look. Same goes for audio reviews, movie reivews, etc. It takes some time to get to know how reviewers "hear" things and it i... 
Beware: Fraudulent Ads from Zero Feedback guys
I hate con artists, thieves, and others of the same ilk. 
solid core interconnect below 500.00pr.-which one
I prefer solid core over stranded as well and recommend you check out the Darwin Ascension cables for sale which are listed here. I have their Silver Cables and find them to simply get out of the way of the music. http://www.darwincables.com/Darwi...
