| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ ^^^When it comes to price, I look at it a bit differently. First of all, The Gate isn't a "tweak." Once installed, it will be considered by the owner as an absolutely necessary component much like an amp, line stage or phono stage. The difference ... | |

He’s the guy who insists that fuses are not directional, cables can’t make a difference and that tweaks are nothing but snake oil. He just stands on a stool, holds perfectly still while holding the bulb in the socket, then simpl... | |
| Who needs a tuner? Interesting site, gwbeers. Thanks for posting it. I’ve spent about an hour traveling around the world on this site and have come to a few conclusions.First, there are very few jazz and classical stations anywhere on the planet.Second, the entire p... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ ^^^ Now that The Gate is installed in the circuit breaker box, not only is the stereo system sounding incredible and beyond belief, but the bedroom system is better than ever, as is the TV. Now then, if only I can keep the vegetables from freezing... | |

| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ mac ...I've been digging deep into the record and CD vault and coming up with recordings that I thought were just average. I have them because of the history of the music and the musicians. Typical are the early BeBop recordings of Charlie Parker ... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ The GateThis morning marks the eighth day with The Gate in the system. I'm in agreement with everything the OP said in his opening statements. First, the price - $4,999. On the surface, it may look like a lot of money (and it is), but measured on ... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! The worst one I've ever heard of happened to a fellow audiophile's wife. He told me that he put on a Tom Jones recording and then nailed his wife between the speakers. Frank | |
| Ugrade-itis - is there a cure? I'm done ... except for tweaks. | |
| What happened to Von Gaylord Man, I hope Ray is okay. He's a true genius and a gentleman. I'm using Von Gaylord speaker cables and interconnect cables. They are wonderful. Frank | |
