REVIEW: Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
I’ve heard a lot of good things about these over the years, with the implication that. they punch well above their weight performance wise. What sort of prices are we looking at?  
Preamp Deal of the Century
One of the reasons the Supratek sounds good is that it uses a tube based shunt regulator, which is pretty rare. Most manufacturers go for a much more easily easily implemented series regulator. I have found this tends to give a very solid and ass...

What Is So Special About Harbeth?
    alan shaw often doesn’t do himself (nor his speaker owners) favors in how he issues goofy (usually self serving) blanket statements about amps, cables, stands and how they add/detract from the speakers’ performance... he thinks he is being ...
