| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? I've just spent the last week being blow away by the not subtle, totally profound effects of what I consider to be the world's best cable elevator system. Unfortunately, the cable elevator system (CES) is a prototype and I cannot describe it in de... | |

| Will An Attenuator Help Reduce This Hiss? Do you think telling us the specific equipment you're talking about will better the quality and usefulness of the replies? | |
| frequency range for instrument vs speaker You can't count on many speakers to make meaningful bass below 50 Hz.Way too broad a generalization.I'd say just about *any* loudspeaker would benefit from the right pair of subs properly blended.Benefit to a bass obsessed audiophile - yes. Requir... | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research This is the longest "have pity on me, I can't afford your product" post I've ever seen. | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote Don't do anything. Wait a month or two and re-evaluate. Right now you're hearing what the McIntosh doesn't do. After listening to the AI for awhile you might hear better what the McIntosh does right. | |
| why do we argue? Your statements about only those having personal experience being able to contribute meaningful commentary is wrong. If personal experience was the only path to knowledge, then we really would no better than apes. | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? What do you want the system to do better at low volume? Do you have an SPL meter to measure what you consider low volume? | |
