| Very bright SC and IC with coherence in imaging, soundstaging and timing You need tone controls or other frequency equalization. If you can't deal with that, then just accept your loudspeakers for what they are. | |
| Emotional rollercoaster It's a good start, but you've only taken the first step on "the journey". If I were you I'd have the Akai not just re-capped, but refurbished. This would include not just electrical work, but having the cabinet refinished. Also be sure to insta... | |

| Power Cord Placement I've never had a component with the power cord on the side, but I would think it would solve most of my objections. | |

| What makes for a "good" musician? It’s not a question of whether someone is a good musician, but as Miles Davis would ask, “can he play?” If you can truly play with other high quality musicians, then the group can take it to the next level and try to make good music. Ultimately ... | |
| Seasoning your sound with powercords Nix the seasoning, assembling an audio system ain't cooking. It's more akin to eating. Then again, try taking the whole audiophile a little less seriously. | |
| Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance? Don't know the best way to connect an equalizer to the Ayre. Address the question to the manufacturer. | |
