Best Outdoor Speakers
The Mirage Oasis are the best I've heard but I've owned Ed Frias's speakers And I'm intrigued about His modded BIC. I've contacted him about them. I wonder when a really high-end outdoor speaker will happen. 
How do Newforms sound?
I had the R630's for about six month and didn't like them. They lacked musical weight for my tastes. They sounded thin. Pete 
Just recieved my ASL Waves, they are amazing
Hi TIC,Hum, you must have gotten a bad set of Waves. I have heard that quality control is or was a problem with them. One of my transformers vibrates more than the other one. I don't know if it's common but it it doesn't effect the sound. Also, I ... 
Musical Design Pre Amp
I sent my SP-2B back to John Hillig for the tube upgrade and after I got it back it made a horrible buzzing noise. I sent it back and John gave me a bunch of lip service acting like a jerk and denying it was the preamps fault.I will never trust hi...

Thank you!( 
New Maggie Owner; What amp????
I have the Audio Refinement Complete powering my MMG's. I'm happy with the sound but starting fresh I would go for more watts. 
Heard the Swan Diva 2.1 s? Opinions?
I hope they work out for you. (Check out the Audio Refinement Complete integrated amp. I'm very, very pleased with mine. It has a nice laid back sound. 
Heard the Swan Diva 2.1 s? Opinions?
Hi,I had them for about 2 weeks and 100 hours and did not like them one bit. They were extremely bright and harsh. I returned them for full refund. I've tried quite a few monitors and these are by far the worst I have heard. Of the ones I've owned...

Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords
Dekay,There is a post above by guy named Deano. He has really helped me out as a budding audiophile and has never steared me wrong. He is a big fan of this power cord. His word is enough for me. Deano has spent thousands of frogskins on high dolla...
