Help - Need Audiophile advice on small systems
For compact combined audio/2ch HT nothing beats small D'Appolito array speakers with a small quality integrated like the TAD-Cayin TA-30 and a kick ass DVD player of your choice. Basic interconnects (like VenHaus Pulsar), DIY speaker wire and a cr... 
Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades

Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades
I'm not harsh--I'm unemployed! It's cheaper to give me $100...small price to pay for *personalized* assesment. Look at what Lak did after he heard my power rig!Gifts are accepted, too! RX8man got a complete & thorough power/noise assesment and...

It's not a bad site at all. Evidently he's made a big effort to find out what suits his taste. He also found a great niche photographing wedding$, which allows him all that spare cash. I'm wondering what would happen if he'd insert all Poiema cabl...
